It’s good to be the king? But I digress. This week finds Dr. Edwards sucking wind and sleeping with giant cockroaches in his boarding house. He gets no rest at home, though, as he is antagonized by both the buggies and his neighbors. He quickly resolves these issues via a rousing bout of fisticuffs. Fisticuffs, that’s the old timey term for beating the snot out of someone, right? Then he goes to work at the Knick, where he has been consigned to the basement. Undeterred by a system of oppression he has already spent a lifetime trying to overcome, Edwards transforms his new office into a secret night clinic for black patients. He is inspired to track down his first patient after watching her get turned away from the Knick to the “negro clinic”. You see him guide the woman to his office, past where the pigs are kept. Seeing how much time the weasely hospital administrator spent telling Thack to practice on pigs (in lieu of cadavers), me thinks Edward’s clinic will be discovered by next week’s episode. And why can’t Thack get cadavers to practice on? Because the weasely hospital administrator cut funds and made a deal with the electrician. He has been skimming off the top in order to pay off his debts and oh boy is he in debt. Now he needs to take his weekly debt payment and use it to bring the contractor back to fix the wiring. No worries tho, the mob-type who loaned him money will be happy to collect what is due in two days’ time – oh and he takes one of the weasel’s teeth as collateral. Water + Electrical Fire = No Bueno The recently deceased nurse isn’t the only one due for a mulligan. It turns out that Dr. Gallinger, the man Thack wanted for Edward’s job, is an incompetent boob who has a tendency to panic, shake, and kill people in the operating theater. So who here is really making deals with the devil? The weasel with his debt? Edwards with his secret clinic? Or Thack with his addiction, ambition, and undeniable genius? No, I think it might be Sister Harriet, as she leaves her habit and goes to make house calls, performing abortions for desperate women in the dark of night.
