Devon takes a spin at treating his first patient with the help of Nurse Nic. So far, his first day at a new hospital is not anything like what he has expected. Will he come to love the job for the good, bad, and ugly?
Conrad takes it upon himself to show the new kid the ropes, but things start off a bit rocky between them. After all, Conrad can come across obnoxious, prickly, and uncouth at times. Will the audience get past his first impression and fall in love with him? Will Devon?
As the Resident's antagonist, Bell was bound to bump heads with the show's hero (or perhaps antihero) Conrad. The two have totally different beliefs about how to handle patients, procedures, and everything else. Despite being just a resident, Conrad fearlessly takes on Bell whenever he sees fit.
Emily Van Camp has put her Revenge days behind her and has taken on a lab coat. As a level-headed Nurse Practitioner, Nic is the conscience of the team who keeps everything running. Yes, she's also the romantic interest of Conrad, but that's probably the least interesting aspect of this complicated new character who is passionate about her patients and skirts the rules when need be.
She's ruthless, brutally honest, and damn good at her job. Mina was top of her class and is top tier at the hospital as well. What she lacks in tact and a warm and fuzzy bedside manner, she makes up for in being the best of the best. If you've ever watched Grey's Anatomy, and find yourself a fan of Cristina Yang, you might have just found your new favorite character.
Matt Czuchry stars as Conrad Hawkins, a renegade third-year resident who uses unorthodox methods and means to save his patients. He's confident, gifted, and 100% about helping his patients at all costs. He's not with the business side and bureaucracy and challenges the system at every turn.
Conrad: Everything you thought you knew about medicine is wrong. All the rules you followed will break. I have only one rule, it covers everything. I'm never wrong. You do whatever the hell I tell you, no questions asked. Devon: Do you want me to speak now? Conrad: That's a question.
Bell: I'm Chief of Surgery, and it's the end of a 30-hour shift. What did you see? Doctor: We're all on the same side here. Maybe he had a heart attack.
