Both are quickly transferred from their ambulances to E.R.  The dialogue is fast and the action seems even more so.
This week there are six cases – again! The first two cases come in immediately, victims in a head-on car crash that have significant injuries. (Is this going to be the regular resident split? They did the same pairs last week.) The Cases:
 Christa and Mario go with Neal, Malaya and Angus with Leanne. The residents are split up between Leanne and Dr.  Still, Christa is immediately protective of the information and scolds everyone about gossip. Angus Leighton ( Harry Ford)  is the only one who doesn’t already know this.  More importantly we learn the specifics of what tragedy happened to Leanne: her entire family, husband and kids, were killed in horrific car accident.  We are reminded that the reason Malaya is so knowledgable about the hospital is that she went to medical school and interned at Angels Memorial. Leanne Rorish ( Marcia Gay Harden) leave the residents talk among themselves.  (He, so needs to get over this!) However, then Jesse gets serious:  Mario uses the reference to snipe about how old Dr. Christa Lorenson ( Bonnie Somerville) is.

“requires humility.”  He even invokes the movie The Karate Kid  and the whole “wax on, wax off” routine. Jesse then has Dr. Malaya Pineda ( Melanie Chandra) give his philosophy about working in the E.R., which is that to be part of the team you have to be willing and able to do whatever is needed: “no job is too big, no job is too small.”  In particular, Jesse informs Mario that to being an E.R. Jesse: “…because you’re a resident, and your mama said so.”  The first to complain is Dr. Mario Savetti ( Benjamin Hollingsworth) – who promptly gets schooled on things: – which involves mopping up a lot of blood.  Head nurse Jesse Sallander ( Luis Guzmán) aka “mama” has them cleaning the E.R. This week opens with our residents in a downtime moment.
It seems simple, but requiring a bit of thinking before engaging in the visuals is a great way to bring the brain into the viewing process.) The Setup: (It also expects that the people watching can read and grasp the ramifications of this. Â Choosing to start with these statements of fact sets the focus on the situation: life and death is being faced under incredibly difficult circumstances by the staff at Angels Memorial 300 days a year. Â Most shows open with clips of the stars and the action. Â The stark simple statement of what the term “code black” means, and how Angels Memorial is unique in the amount of trauma it sees wasn’t just put in for the pilot. This message is made clear by the how the show is going to be starting every week.
DOCTOR WHO SEASON 1 EPISODE 2 SUMMARY CODE
 The power of Code Black is in seeing the effects of dealing with life and death on such an intense basis shapes these people – not who they end up sleeping with.  Yes, I saw that there are some romantic possibilities floating around, but I hope that doesn’t ever come to dominate the show.  It also affirms that this is a show that has a ton of heart in it. Code Black Season 1 Episode 2 proves that the high octane show with heart that we saw in the pilot was not a fluke.
