The series already had a lot to deal with with the death of one of its characters, and then they throw in a tragedy for everyone to deal with, with no time to process everything that has happened, making the episode a never-ending rush.
Asher is an important character, and his cheerful demeanor led some plots in an interesting way, even though at some points he made mistakes due to his upbringing and this desire to cut ties with it, and often being stubborn with his convictions. This made him a very close friend, and everyone loves him.
Jerome will have to deal with the loss of his master, without goodbyes, without a scent, and with a family that doesn't like to imagine his presence, and from here on he needs to create a place to be able to go and ease this longing. I really liked the way Jordan grows from her pain, from the loss of the best friend she ever had, and also from her anger over the hate crime that occurred. When she needs to take it out on the person who caused the accident in the episode, even I was on her side, but I understood when a mother's suffering makes her rethink.
The chaos in the hospital due to a car accident that kills people and creates an unprecedented crisis puts Shaun in a position of leadership, by controlling his emotions, which even he didn't expect to cause problems, because he starts to see Asher in other places, and waits for him to show up to help him, and in an outburst, he ends up connecting with Charlie, finally. Now it's time to wait to see how they will develop this connection they created, and she understood that he needs his time to process things, just as she needs hers to question and understand the things around her.
For me, Audrey was the one who suffered the most, having to be strong, tough, hard-working, and hearing from Eileen that her father was like that, but hid his depression so as not to appear weak, makes her realize that she is exaggerating and needs to get her head together, and trust the people around her more. I thought it was beautiful that they resolved her ties with her mother.
Park, Morgan, Kalu, they all had their moments of remembering Asher and feeling his pain. I liked seeing more of the nurses and assistants, of Glassman needing to be tougher, but still giving in to Shaun. And Dom also learning that he urgently needs to be strong, or he will lose more patients was very intense, especially due to the way the man in front of him died.
