The ending does it all!

Mario may have thought he was done with his dad, but events on this episode of Code Black proved him wrong.

Luckily for him, he has the Angel's Memorial family to fall back on. By blood or by bond, the family is those who love you no matter what -- and those you just can't let go of.

This show has gotten some pretty great guest stars, but it doesn't always put them to the best use. I was pretty disappointed that Meredith Baxter spent most of her time unconscious on a gurney. What's the point of booking a known name if you knock them out after ten minutes?

As it is, the highlight of the measles story is that it highlighted Angus' potential to become a great teacher. Sure, he needed a little wakeup call from Leanne about what he should be doing, but he didn't have to be told twice.

I can totally see him being put in charge of the residency program some day. Or at least being the chief resident.

In addition to his mentoring chops, Angus won the "best bro" award as well. His insistent comforting of Mario had us all choked up.

In the end, all that really comes to mind is poor Mario. He really thought that he could just walk away from Vince and that would be the end of things. It's a lovely thought, that we can just cut out the toxic people in our lives. But it's just not that easy. There's some part deep down that always wants your parents to love and accept you.

Mario's become a lot more mature than when we first met him, but Vince's death paves the way for another leap in maturity. I have a feeling that Vince may retain the ability to screw with Mario's head from beyond the grave. The ending left my heart broken and I was in tears, as I am sure most everyone was.
