Catch up on Episode 4, Southern Mercy, with an episode recap. Warning: Spoilers ahead.

The war carries on. Now down their head nurse, the Mansion House staff continue to confront both professional and personal battles within the hospital. A budding romance (or two!) and an intense scene on the battlefield only highlight a small but exciting portion of this week’s action-packed episode. Get ready for Southern Mercy.

1. Dr. Hale Has No Chill

As his medical exam draws near, Dr. Hale begins to feel the heat from Major McBurney and worries that he might lose his job. Looking for someone to console him, he turns to his dear Nurse Hastings (because it’s not like she’s extremely busy taking care of patients or anything). However, she too has experienced a career change of her own, now that an ailing Nurse Phinney is in Boston, and she has the opportunity to move up as head nurse. Delivering a reality check with a side of burn, she reminds him that he’s not the only one under pressure.

2. Who is Private Aimes?

In another wing of the hospital, two Union soldiers arrive seeking help from Dr. Foster. The curiously young looking one of the pair, Private Aimes, demands that Jed treat his ill comrade, Danny, despite the already-long list of soldiers who need tending to. With a healthy amount of bickering and guilt-tripping, the soldier eventually gets his way.
