I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but thanks for posting the thread.  I wasn't aware it was starting back up yet, as we're a bit behind with it in Canada.  I don't even know when they plan on airing the new season.  

Glad to have something back that I enjoy.

I liked that we got to see a more positive side of the head nurse (can't remember her name), and of the one Sarah Gilbert plays.  Both are pretty hard women, at least from what we've seen so far, but this episode showed us they were good nurses.

I was thinking the same thing - that Christina might be pregnant.  I still think it's a possibility.  We KNOW they weren't using any birth control the 1st tie they were together, so it's a definite possibility.

I think part of her reluctance to go to the surgery with Tom is because of watching her husband die.  Though Tom's injury isn't life threatening, I know many who have difficulty visiting loved ones in hospital after someone close to them has died - even those that work in the environment every day.  I really hope Tom doesn't fall for that doc.  She's nice, but there's something I don't quite trust about her - I don't know why.  Plus, it's taken Christina so long to be willing to even start opening up herself to the possibility of a new beginning, I'd hate to see things fall apart because of another woman.  If they don't work out, that's one thing, but if it's because someone new horns in, I think it would be too much for her to get over - at least for the foreseeable future.

I thought her reaction to seeing Camille was one of the most realistic I've seen on a TV show.  So many shows portray teen sex as just something to expect, but there are still a lot of parents who find it heart-breaking to see their children grow up like that.  Plus, it was one of her fears, since Camille's boyfriend is not a high school student, and obviously more experienced.  I think a lot of mothers would react like that after having the kind of day Christina had.

Gail is also starting to grow on me.  

I'm also glad they finally said why Candy came home early.  I was thinking something really bad happened, and was leaning to Ray's conclusions.  I just hope she wasn't attacked or anything, and was just being her regular "let's do all we can for the soldiers" self.

I've also noticed that doctor (can't think of her name ) seems to have a crush on Tom.  He hasn't been very patient with Christina, wanting to marry her even though they just got together.  I don't think he understands how hard it is for her.  She explained being in love well to Camille when she said  you're afraid to be without them, but also to be with them.  It takes courage to risk your heart, and Tom should be a bit more sensitive to the fact that it's often harder for a widow than a single or divorced person, because of the pain they've experienced with their loss.  It should be interesting to see how things play out.

I'm really liking this show, as it has an authenticity to it that many shows lack.  I hope they keep to the high standard they've set for themselves with the writing.

Good episode.  I REALLY don't like Erin (doc moving in on Tom), and Tom is irritating too.  He really doesn't understand Christina, which is a good reason they aren't ready for marriage.  

I'm glad Christina finally talked with Camille, and what Marcus said to her was encouraging.  Being a single parent is tough, and facing the new phases of life is never easy.

I don't know why I'm forgetting everyone's name in this show - but the peds nurse was really good to go to the parents and not only apologize (which the required), but try and give them a bit of insight into how to help & support their daughter.

If Christina had said she wasn't interested, that would be one thing, but his proposal came out of nowhere, on a very emotional day.  Not only was it too soon in their relationship, the timing would make any woman question whether it was sincere or reactional.  Christina had already put her cards on the table (which included that she needed time), but Tom doesn't want to wait.  If he can move on that quickly, his feelings couldn't have been as deep as he said.  Just knowing Christina was jealous of Erin should have given him more of a clue how much she cares for him.  He's being selfish, which is fine for him, but I don't think there's a real future for him & Erin, so it seems like he's cutting off his nose to spite his face.

THANK you for for reminding me of Kelly's name!  No, how Bobbie lost her leg is still a mystery.  She's given several stories to different people.  Makes me even more curious, which I imagine is the point.

I thought there were 11 episodes, so was surprised that this was the season finale.  Good episode, and I KNEW Christina was pregnant (didn't comment last week, since I just got to watch that epi too).  

Poor Candy!  But what a great episode.  

Do we know how long we have to wait for season 3?

I am just catching up and watching season 3.  I stopped after reading your post, as I don't want any spoilers for the next episodes, but I agree!  What is Christina thinking?!  She's been married to Tom for maybe a month?  

I was very impressed with Bobbie, and her fund-raising for the hospital.  I am hoping that Morrisey does get help for his drinking.
SO much going on, and so few episodes to cram it all into.  I wish they hadn't gotten so soap opera-like too.  Hopefully the next few episodes will redeem it.
