Carol's Second Act

Carol Kenney enthusiastically begins her first day as an internal medicine intern, but has a rocky start when she disregards direct orders from her boss in order to help a patient. Also, Carol meets Dr. Frost, a senior attending physician who may be the ally Carol needs in her second act.

While the other interns battle over who gets the patient with a fascinating and rare problem, Carols standard, run-of-the-mill case turns out to be something more than it seems. Also, Daniel makes a crucial mistake that gets Dr. Jacobs attention… by eating her food.

When Carol has her first solo overnight shift at the hospital, Dr. Frost’s enthusiastic help and involvement become a little more than Carol bargained for. Also, on the interns’ rare night off from the hospital, Jenny takes them all out to a bar to find dates.

When the other interns begin to feel the strain of being first-year residents, Carol tries to help with lessons learned from years as a working mom, but soon realizes that she may have stretched herself too thin. Also, Jenny and Dr. Frost face off when she tries to sell him some of her latest pharmaceuticals.

As the hospital hosts therapy dogs to help care for their patients, Carol helps Lexie when the emotional burden of being a doctor becomes too “ruff,.

Carol pretends to be an attending doctor in order to get her patient into the ICU, and Jenny and Daniel run into Dr. Frost when they finally go on their first date,

Lexie and Jenny tease Carol when her kind neighbor shows signs that he has a crush on her. Also, Dr. Frost suggests that Maya and the interns forgo using technology as a crutch and instead use traditional medical procedures on their patients.

When Carol’s patient finally makes the liver donation list, she is upset by the lack of emotion from his transplant surgeon, Dr. Lewis. Also, Lexie, Daniel and Caleb try to decipher why Dr. Jacobs has a tattoo of a duck.

When the interns tease Carol that her relationship with Dr. Lewis might be moving too fast, Carol tries to sabotage his chance at winning a romantic getaway for them. Also, Dr. Jacobs, Lexie and Caleb help a patient with a serious case of… a curling iron stuck in her hair before her wedding day.
