Red Band Society - Know Thyself - Review + Favorite Character POLL

Red Band Society is really heating up, after last week when Nurse Jackson (the best character on the show in my opinion) ultimately got suspended for trying to buy Charlie some more time. This week we got to see some life outside of the hospital as Nurse Jackson's secret talent was revealed, it was definitely a great episode so let's dig in!

NOTE: After last week's thrilling episode of Red Band Society I just had to start reviewing this show, so therefore I will be reviewing this show for the rest of the season! Hope you enjoy my reviews!

REVIEW

Starting off with Nurse Jackson, it was great to finally get some character development outside of the hospital in this episode. I would never had guessed that she was a singer before she became a nurse, but hell she could sing! I loved the fact that Brittany and Kenji stuck by her side, they're all in this together after all.

But the reason Nurse Jackson became a nurse that hit me, and finding out that her sister had died that was quite an emotional scene. I'm sure that Nurse Jackson just cared for Charlie so much that she treated him like a son, that's just so amazing, and she should not get punished for that.

Over to Emma, who kind of went 1 step back, 2 steps forward this week. The remarks made by Lauren definitely affected her, but I think it just gave her that necessary push to test herself and try and eat something. Lauren I don't think meant to offend her, but I do agree with Lauren, she definitely has not filter to what comes out!

The others around the hospital were busy trying to look at some surgery, but seriously who would WANT to do that? I could think of much better things. Nether the less, this Hunter guy he seriously has got something going on, there's just something about him that I can't put my finger on.

But Kara had her usual quotes/remarks throughout the episode but it definitely was a turning point when she pointed out to Hunter that nobody needs to live alone. Kara is definitely changing whilst in the hospital, changing from a complete bitch into a semi-nice person. It will be interesting to see what comes of these next few episodes.

Dash, I really do feel for him, he was running around all day and nobody stopped to see if he was okay, until he finally collapsed. But then when Leo and Jordi decided to argue about who would stay with him, you can definitely tell that the tension is still there between Jordi and Leo.

But that ending, that's what I love to see in TV shows, it's something that makes me want to keep watching. It will definitely be interesting now that Charlie has opened his eyes, and with Nurse Jackson by his side, he definitely won't go through this alone.

With Red Band Society in full swing, I decided it was a good idea to ask you what your favorite character is so far? Also leave why you chose that character in the comments below! I know what mine would be, but what's yours?

QUOTES

Kara: "Maybe we do all die alone but that doesn't mean we need to live alone."

Jordi: "The problem isn't that I threw away my red band, Dash. The problem is that I put it on in the first place."

Hunter: "I told you to stay."
Kara: "Yeah, I'm not a Golden Retriever."

Hunter: "Maybe they came to burn their bras in honor of nurse Jackson."

Kenji: "Brittany, in the three days since Jackson's been gone I've worked four doubles which I didn't even know was mathematically possible. I've been thrown up on eleven times, shaved a screaming child whose medication was making him grow body hair, and now I'm compulsively eating deep fried beef just to stay awake."

Hunter: "Have you ever heard of a guy named David Rosen?"

Kara: "'m from Beverly Hills, I know like seven David Rosens."

WRAP-UP

Red Band Society is definitely heating up in these next few episodes, and I'm sure it will be very interesting. My favorite part of this episode has got to be the Nurse Jackson plot-line, we found out so much more about her back-story, which was excellent. What was your favorite scene/part of this week's episode?
