Peter in the women's dressing room
jarrodmcdonald-115 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This episode was directed by Kevin Hooks who had a main role on 'The White Shadow.' He went on to direct many television programs.
As for the main storyline, Wendy Armstrong has been jumped by Peter White in the women's dressing room. This is interpreted differently by various characters. Is he attacking her non-sexually or is it a thwarted rape?
The incident leads to revealing that Wendy is bulimic, which had been implied in prior episodes. But her eating disorder comes front and center now, while she is dealing with what has happened between her and Peter.
Victor Ehrich (Ed Begley Jr.) is used in quite a few humorous scenes, usually in the operating room where he is annoying the bejeezus out of Dr. Mark Craig (William Daniels). At this point, he has rushed into a marriage with Roberta, a woman that he barely knows and his personal life is a shambles.
The subplot with Dr. Daniel Auschlander (Norman Lloyd) and his old flame (Geraldine Fitzgerald) is nicely done. We have two old pros in these scenes together. The story is revisited later in season 5 when it is revealed that Fitzgerald's character had a son fathered by Daniel Auschlander, which she has neglected to tell him in this episode. Daniel meets his son in season 6. For now he is presented as having no sons. He and his wife Katherine (Jane Wyatt) just have a daughter, and two grandchildren.
