Ep 5. Unhappy Endings

It's Christmas Eve and chaos reigns in the emergency room. Fitz (Shawn Ashmore) contends with some hard-assed cops and a belligerent patient. It's a contentious situation that he initially handles well, but as the evening progresses he spirals out of control to a very self-destructive place. When Chen (Byron Mann) finds himself dealing with the family of a man who died in a brothel, he starts to question his own views on medicine and family. Meanwhile, though she's not embroiled in the turmoil of the hospital, Ming (Mayko Nguyen) is confronted by her father's strange solution to her fertility problems. With special guest stars Zoie Palmer (The Guard, Instant Star) and Dan Lett (Queer as Folk, Wind at my Back).
