Spoiler alert for
anyone who hasn’t watched the season 12 opener. This season started off with a
dramatic story line. For most if not all of us, when it comes to the people we
love we’d go to any length to protect that person, to be with that person, and
show them that we care. In this episode two teenage girls were hit by a train while
“walking to school”. When they bring these two girls in the doctors quickly find
out that this was no accident. They didn’t want to die but they didn’t want to
live in a world without each other. One of the girl’s parents especially her
mom didn’t approve of this relationship so when she came across the letters the
girl’s wrote back and forth to each other in a box, she immediately wanted to
send her away to a special camp that would “fix” her. The girls were both
scared to lose each other so they decided to jump in front of train together.
When Dr. Torres heard this it brought tears to her eyes not only because this
was a beyond sad situation but she knew the pain of being judged for who she
loved also. Dr. Torres is a bisexual woman and has faced her share of ignorance
from people. Hearing how hurt and scared this young girl was made her furious
and although she “stepped out of line” as a doctor by giving her opinion to the
mother while giving an update on the girl, she walked away before letting it
get the best of her. Later on the mother started gaining up on another doctor
who ended up punching her in the face (even though that was very unprofessional
the lady really deserve it in my opinion) and apologizing after. As the show
goes on you see the girl’s father start to show how he really feels about the
situation and even eventually talks to the father of the other girl. The other
girl’s father was taking it rough because his daughter was all he had left his
wife died and he moved to America to give his daughter a better life. In the
end the mom is freaking out saying she’s still making her daughter go to the
camp and being completely rude. When out of nowhere the father steps in and
starts yelling saying she’s not going to camp because her well-being and
happiness matter more to him than if she’s lesbian, they aren’t pressing
charges on the doctor or suing the hospital and if she doesn’t stop he’s
leaving her never to come back and taking their daughter with him. That by far
was my favorite part because while he was yelling this all to her the doctors
were bring his daughter back into the room and she heard every word her dad said.
The ending was so beyond sweet, the girl wrote the other girl a letter and gave
it to her dad to give to her when she woke up. When she did wake up she was
scared and seeing that letter made her happy. That was a great first episode
and it made me even more excited for the rest of the season.
