Hospital Drama
Shanice (Ernestine Johnson, who shared her inspiring BTG audition earlier this year) is understandably territorial about the hospital where she works. She is a great nurse who supervises the others with authority, a bit of tough love, and ample fairness. In Tuesday’s episode, Leslie (Trisha Mann-Grant), who was worried about Peaches (Arle Michel), couldn’t be bothered with the cardiologist taking care of the woman who raised her, and she told him as much.

The newly wealthy Ms. Thomas didn’t hold back when she talked to Shanice, either. She wanted her mom to be treated like a VIP and felt that Dr. Doug McBride (Jason Graham) was the best cardiologist, while anyone other than him was considered third-rate in her eyes. The thing is, as demanding and rude as Leslie was, Shanice tried not to let the woman intimidate her.

Apparently, the two are going to go at it again on Thursday. Leslie’s bad vibes when it comes to Shanice might also have to do with the fact that she sees how well Shanice and Ted (Keith D. Robinson) get along. In fact, on Tuesday, sparks flew between the two. But you can count on Shanice to put Leslie on notice. How will Leslie react to that? We think she won’t react well.

Meanwhile, look for Leslie to do whatever she can to get the right kind of help. In this case, she wants Ted the plastic surgeon to take a look at Peaches, who has cardiac issues. Needless to say, it’s Ted to the rescue when the doctor helps an ailing Peaches out.
