New Amsterdam Season 5 Episode 10 Recap
The first scene of the show features Floyd and his father, who wants to go fishing after work and asks Floyd to join him. The kids are happy that Iggy is in bed and back at home. Max is in the hospital and doing quite well while working on his signing. He introduces Elizabeth to his ASL teacher as she enters. Elizabeth warns him about trying to make this work for her. Dr. Slavin broke her ankle, so Max chooses to fill in. A man outside the hospital is yelling at people not to enter the building. Iggy approaches him outdoors and guy appears to be homeless but claims to reside in a penthouse. As she works to establish the first medical school for the deaf, Elizabeth’s friend who is in stage 4 cancer has come to visit. Despite having cancer, she refuses to receive treatment. The deaf will be the owners and managers of the school. Elizabeth just needs one thing. She tells her it’s time to leave New Amsterdam and give back, and she wants her to run it.
Vanessa arrives in the emergency room unresponsive, and Floyd and Lauren work to revive her. When a patient begins to have respiratory problems while Max and some other physicians are working on him, they rush to aid him, and Mika has a hard time with Tim for saving him. Elizabeth is still with her buddy, who claims that when she passes away, there will be a newspaper ad, and when Elizabeth passes away, a statue will be erected. Iggy learns that the man, Harlan, is a bitcoin coder while he is in the penthouse. Iggy queries why he began loitering near the hospital. The man claims that when they experiment on kids, they zap their minds, tie them up with rubber bands, and inflict harm on them. He’s rescuing those children. He received treatment in New Amsterdam when he was a child. Lauren confirms that Vanessa is still alive and that she is going through heroin withdrawal. Vanessa responds that even though Lauren is nice to her now, their mother died hating her. Lauren informs her that she tried to kill herself.
Vanessa collapses to the ground and experiences a seizure as they both begin to scream. When Floyd enters, Vanessa is hurried off to the operating room. Max approaches Mika to inquire as to what transpired earlier; she appeared to be experiencing a panic attack. The patient’s name is Duane; she names him Elliott in error. Max queries the passing of Elliott. She is an extremely good doctor, according to Max, who claims to have been observing her on the floor. Elliot died that night after she went home, despite the fact that she claims to be an amazing doctor and performed her work on him without a hitch. She neglected to care for him when he was a patient. When Harlan informs Iggy that he was subjected to electroshock experiments as a child, the man claims it felt like being in an invisible cage. They no longer do it, according to Iggy. Iggy assures him that he will feel better if he visits his office. Harlan begins to panic, tells him no, and orders him to go. Elizabeth declines her friend’s offer. When Floyd enters, Lauren is sitting next to a stable Vanessa. Lauren informs him that Vanessa overdosed directly across from the hospital because she wanted to see her in this state because of how much she despises her.
Floyd informs Lauren that an addict must help themselves and Lauren breaks down in tears, asking why she didn’t try to assist her. Iggy looks curious as she exits the penthouse while Harlan throws some rubbish outside—all empty protein shake bottles. Max informs Mika that until they converse, she is unable to see patients. She claims that although she had the option to stay, she chose to go. The night Elliott passed away was the final time she slept through the night in her own bed. When he informs her that she must return home, she reminds him that he has no authority to make her do so. Elizabeth lets Max know that she wants the position. She is asked if they may talk privately. She acknowledges that she is not a teacher and that all she wants to be is a surgeon. Iggy discovered that Harlan was deficient in vitamins and was only consuming protein shakes.
