Watson – Teeth Marks

  • Title: Watson – Teeth Marks
  • IMDb: link

While Watson (Morris Chestnut) and his team begin diagnosing a scared and erratic young woman (Caitlin Stasey) whose short-term memory resets every three minutes, Moriarty (Randall Park) blackmails Shinwell (Ritchie Coster) into messing with the good doctor’s medicine once again. This time, however, despite the hallucinations, Watson is clear enough to suspect the medication and the most likely source of its tampering. Stepping into to allow for an alternate fall guy (Ryan Robbins), Moriarty still reveals himself to Watson and recruits another member of his staff for purposes that are yet to be revealed.

The team gets a new patient in Stephens’ (Peter Mark Kendall) cam girl (Sofie Kane) who collapses on camera from an infection. With the woman in need of immediate medical attention, but unaware of the young woman’s real name or location, Stephens is forced to go to Watson (Morris Chestnut) and the team for help. Aside from the awkward moments following his admission, and a few snide remarks here and there, the team (including his twin brother and the woman they have both dated) all pitch in to help putting the detective skills Watson has been teaching them to work.

While the title of the episode refers to a geneticist friend of Watson (Morris Chestnut), the patient (Brittany Adebumola) in the episode suffering from multiples issues stemming for sickle cell anemia allows Watson to play with the concept of what doctors should and shouldn’t do to save their patient. Putting his career on the line, while attempting to hide what he’s doing from the team, Watson performs an unapproved medical procedure which saves his patient’s life leaving the team, and his ex-wife, to face the ramifications.

Although we get threads involving Watson (Morris Chestnut) and Shinwell (Ritchie Coster) doing more odd jobs for Moriarty (Randall Park), the less effective aspects of the show are mostly kept on the backburner in “Patient Question Mark” in which Watson’s team searches out the family of Sasha’s (Inga Schlingmann) medical school cadaver to screen them for possible cancer. The journey will lead the group to Amish country, save the life of a young boy, and reunite a single mother with a larger family. Although not shown much on-screen, the trip also brings back memories for Watson and better days in his relationship with Mary (Rochelle Aytes).

Watson – Redcoat / Wait for the Punchline

The pilot episode of Watson was pretty rough. The next two in which Dr. John Watson (Morris Chestnut) helps a man believing himself to be a colonial British soldier (Damian O’Hare) after being shot in the head and a stand-up comedian who collapses from a hereditary condition, all while the minions of Moriarty (Randall Park) work through Watson’s friend to screw with the good doctor, does show some improvement. The Moriarty segments involving Shinwell Johnson (Ritchie Coster) remain incredibly awkward, and Watson’s team of doctors still hasn’t quite clicked although Ingrid (Eve Harlow) and Sasha (Inga Schlingmann) both get some nice moments over the two episodes, although I’m still not interested in any of their personal lives (I’m already tired of Watson’s as well).
