If she thinks the patient has a more serious problem than it seems, she won't back down from insisting he stay in the hospital. Vanessa is very driven, to the point that she abused methamphetamines to ensure she'd have the energy to do everything she needed to be a star resident. Vanessa wants to run additional tests or continue to observe him in the hospital. There's no information available about who's on which side, but I'm going to guess that Maggie thinks the patient should be discharged.

His anger at Marcel here isn't too far off from that.Īsher always fights with Archer, so any interactions between them hardly count as a spoiler (and several photos suggest they work together again.) However, Maggie and Vanessa fighting about patient care is a different story.Īccording to spoilers, Maggie and Vanessa are on opposite sides regarding a patient eager to return to work. More often than not, Will sees himself as the more dedicated doctor and dismisses all of Marcel's concerns as Marcel being too eager to do surgery. Their relationship is fragile at best, and their previous competition for Natalie's heart didn't help. Will can be a hothead sometimes, and this isn't the first time he and Marcel have clashed over patient care. Just because Will thinks Marcel walked out on a patient doesn't mean that's the case. It could be that the patient Marcel is working on isn't in dire straits and that the other surgeons in the room should have been capable of closing her while Marcel dealt with a seemingly more urgent matter. Is it possible the Lieutenant Governor makes him an offer he can't refuse, either in terms of bribery or blackmail? That's the only way this fits unless the clip in the spoiler video is misleading. His newfound fame shouldn't change that, so why is he dropping everything for the Lieutenant Governor? There has to be more to this story than Marcel having stars in his eyes for a well-known political figure. In the past, when he clashed with the administration, he passionately believed that his treatment plan was best for the patient and was frustrated at not being able to implement it. His womanizing was aggravating when he was first introduced, but his professionalism and dedication to patient care were never in doubt. It also doesn't ring true to Marcel's character.

There's nothing wrong with that per se, but it looks like he will leave another patient hanging to attend to the Lieutenant Governor's needs.
