But because of how the scenes played out, you couldn't tell if it was really what Helen wanted or Serwa's influence on her. It prompted Helen to call Max and say that she didn't want to get married in a castle or possibly have a big wedding at all. The point was to remind Helen that she was never like the other girls who dreamed of fairy tales, and there was no need for her to try to force herself into this box and that narrative. Instead, Serwa switched the narrative to her coming from this place of knowing her daughter well, which was a bit confusing. And there was at one point when her comments about Max and Luna also seemed like she was implying something about Helen marrying a white man and taking his daughter as her own, but it never went further or was elaborated. She took a happy moment and made it about social and historical injustices. It wasn't that Serwa was wrong, per se, but the whole thing came out of nowhere, and it felt weird to shame and guilt-trip her daughter for wanting to be a princess like most girls dream about when it's their wedding. Serwa: If you want to have your wedding here, then have your wedding here. She seemed needlessly miserable when Helen seemed to be having the time of her life in that castle, and it made you regret that Helen reached out to the woman to come in the first place.Īnd then Serwa revealed how silly she thought it was that Helen wanted to get married in a grand castle that, to Serwa, represented colonialism and was a place built on the backs of slavery and the hurt and exploitation of Helen's ancestors. We suspected that their road would lead them back to one another, but their method of getting here was so bizarre that it sucked some of the fun out of seeing the two of them reunite romantically. In some ways, Leyla and Lauren feel a bit like that, too. Now we're concluding the season with a rushed personal arc we should've explored more during the duration of the season. You screw over a.įloyd's sudden interest in his father, presumably as he had become one himself, feels like a storyline that came too late into the game, out of nowhere a bit.

: You screw over a doctor, they leave.When does someone help you? This profession that you love does not love you back. You screw over a nurse, they stay because it's not a job, it's a calling. He did with success in the end, despite Horace's vague behavior. He was jumping from one OR to the next as Wilder and others appeared to be over their heads, but things all worked out, and they praised him for pushing them beyond their comfort zone.įloyd's quest to find his father was also squeezed into the mix. And his plan to perform so many surgeries on all those patients felt impossible and too much.
