16x11 A Hard Pill to Swallow

I'm liking McWidow more each episode. If nothing else, at least he has great chemistry with Mer. And even though my first impression of him wasn't all that great (I'm over condescending, arrogant a-holes, a la Riggs), now he's coming across as a guy that's passionate about his profession, humble, caring and very loving of his family (I mean, we're 2 for 2 with him mentioning his kids).

On the other hand, there's De Luca, whom I'm liking less and less. He went crying for help to anyone and everyone who'd listen to him about his patient with the mystery diagnosis. I'm not mad that he asked for help. I'm just annoyed at how whiny he is about everything.

And to make matters worse, the show's attempting to break my heart with the whole Link-Amelia mess. I know there needs to be drama. I just very much wish it'd be a medical issue with the baby instead of a relationship issue. Putting the paternity in question and dragging Owen back into the picture now that he was finally, finally out of it plain sucks. And to add insult to injury, it also means creating trouble for my favourite couple on the show. I'm very much not a happy camper these days.
