In the latest episode of New Amsterdam, the doctors fight to help their patients when a wedding goes wrong, bringing the majority of the attendees in. They’re conflicted by their work after learning a twist about the wedding.
A woman is being treated for several injuries while her husband tells Floyd about some back pain that he’s having. Floyd struggles to figure out what happened when he sees what looks like a gunshot wound in the patient’s back. He talks to Lauren about it, who just treated her own patient with a sprained ankle. She holds up the broken high heel that she took from the woman, and they realize that the heel broke off in the man’s back.
The couple agonizes over what happened, with the husband feeling bad because he left his wife when a fire turned the wedding into a mess, and the wife feels bad for unintentionally trampling her husband in the rush to get out. While they confirm that it’s the heel in the husband’s back, the wife starts coughing up blood. It turns out she inhaled some glass when she ran into the tower of champagne trying to leave the wedding. They rush her to surgery and remove it all.
Max attempts to talk to Elizabeth using sign language, which leads to a light-hearted laugh between the pair when Ben struggles to understand what she’s saying. He tries to get her to type what she’s saying, but she refuses and insists that he’ll get it. They discuss later a choice they made in the episode to not tell a patient about something and if it was the right move.
Floyd opens up to his sister, mom, and stepfather about thinking that Horace is bipolar. The group doesn’t take the news well and explains that even if he’s got it, he still hurt them and had some control over what he did. Later, Floyd still goes to his dad and says that he thinks he knows why Horace is the way he is. Horace has mixed reactions to the news.
