This week, Kayla and Camille are joined by Michelle, a fellow #TheResident fan who has been a nurse for 23 years and is in school to get her masters in nursing, to discuss episode 5x03 of #TheResident - "The Long and Winding Road" and to pay tribute to Nic and Emily.

We get her perspective on how Emily's portrayal of Nic highlighted the nursing community on a medical drama - something that just isn't shown often.

Written by: Joy Blake; Directed by: Rob Corn

Episode Discussion:

• The hero walk and the music used over the scene being a proper send off to Nic and Emily
• Why recasting Nic wouldn't work
• Kudos to Matt on his acting in this episode - he needs all the awards!
• Nic saves lives, even in her death
  • Nic's organs are donated after her death - and her trachea ends going to one of her former patients who was suffering from the symptoms of long haul Covid.
• How #TheResident uses a plot line like organ donation to bring real change to the world
• Will Conrad find the answers about what happened to Nic?
• Emotional attachment to a patient and why a nurse or doctor can't treat a loved one
  • Since Billie or Conrad couldn't perform the tests needed to confirm Nic's diagnosis - they chose Devon to do it. We're so glad Devon was there for Conrad - and that Hundley and Jessica were there as well.
• Kyle's reaction to Nic's death - and should he apologize to Conrad for lashing out at him in anger?
• Gigi seeing the helicopter and saying "Ma ma"
• #KitBell's postponed date - and why it needs to be postponed for now
• Will we get to see Nic's funeral/memorial service?

Thank you, Emily for the past four years of bringing Nic to life. We wish you well in your future endeavors and send our love to you, Josh and Iris.
