Watson – Livvy Sees the Doctor

  • Title: Watson – Livvy Sees the Doctor
  • IMDb: link

After being ignored for several months, a desperate father (Jon Beavers) in a bomb vest takes the clinic hostage forcing them to properly diagnose and save his daughter Livvy (Lucy Turnbull). While the ticking bomb offers some extra motivation, in the end it’s simply another case for the doctors to save. The episode is of note for showing off the selfishness of Beck (Noah Mills) who, while visiting the clinic nearly gets them all killed. That, somehow, only makes Ingrid (Eve Harlow) only hornier for her fellow sociopath pushing her further down a dangerous road.

Eephus is part hang-out film, with the various conversations, disputes, and antics both on and off the field, and part nostalgic longing for a world being pushed aside by the passage of time.
