In one case, Oliver finds a young man in the street that is seemingly having a crisis. We see people around him looking at him like he\u2019s insane and if they\u2019re not looking at him, they pretend he isn\u2019t even there. Unlike those people, Oliver stops to ask what\u2019s going on with him. The man asks him if he saw them too, and Oliver goes along with him saying he does but needs more of an explanation. The man claims to see dragons.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He enlists the help of the interns to figure out what is going on with this man – who we find out is named Pete. The interns are all trying to figure out what Pete\u2019s dragon looks like when Oliver comes in needing help with another case. He takes Dr. Jacob Nash and Dr. Van Markus to assist, leaving Dr. Ericka Kinney and Dr. Dana Dang with Pete. Dr. Kinney, later on, tries to pass Pete on to Dr. Carol Pierce stating that he\u2019s dealing with a psychological issue. Basically, she tried to pass her patient on to Dr. Pierce in order to work on Oliver\u2019s current case. It didn\u2019t take long; Dr. Pierce asked Pete a few questions to realize that what was happening with him was more neurological than psychological. Good on her for calling Dr. Kinney out though.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cChapter Two: The Disembodied Woman\u201d – BRILLIANT MINDS – Pictured: Ashleigh LaThrop as Dr. Ericka Kinney, Aury Krebs as Dr. Dana Dang, Spence Moore II as Dr. Jacob Nash.

All Rights Reserved. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Working harder on this case, Dr. Kinney and Dr. Dang goes to visit Pete\u2019s apartment where his roommate informs them that Pete\u2019s been sleeping a lot and missing class (I can\u2019t be the only one that took note of that, right?<\/i>). They\u2019re at his place thinking that something in his environment could be the cause. After being close to being induced to vomiting, Dr. Kinney rushes to open a window where she spots \u2013 the dragon. The fact that he still sees the dragon when it\u2019s not there is cause for concern. Another MRI scan shows that there\u2019s build up of blood in his brain causing this. He\u2019s rushed into emergency surgery (great catch team!). Good on Dr. Kinney for realizing sooner rather than later that her biased opinion could\u2019ve cost Pete his life.\u00a0<\/p>\n In another case, we meet Jessie Williams, a former basketball player turned coach, who called off her surgery the morning of stating that she had a disturbing dream where she was unable to move. The chief medical officer (oh – and Oliver\u2019s mom<\/i>), asks for Oliver and Carol\u2019s help to assess the situation and clear Jessie for surgery.\u00a0<\/p>\n After speaking with the chief, Oliver goes to his office to find Jessie waiting. Oliver asks Jessie about her dream, to make an assessment of the situation. She said she felt disembodied (feeling disconnected from one\u2019s body or oneself or feeling out of touch with the present moment<\/i>). He tells her \u201cthe mind doesn\u2019t produce a nightmare without a reason\u201d and that he would work towards helping her find out what\u2019s happening with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n The conversation with Oliver seems to work since Jessie made the decision to go through with the surgery. Carol show\u2019s Oliver Jessie\u2019s paperwork and he notices that she may not be as okay as she was believed to be. He notices a difference in her signature, which then leads him to believe that she may still be feeling disembodied. When they go to the hospital, they see Jessie in a frantic state. She\u2019s saying that she does not want to go through with the surgery (again<\/i>). Jessie believes that her nightmares about not being in her body are coming true.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cChapter Two: The Disembodied Woman\u201d – BRILLIANT MINDS – Pictured: Alex MacNicoll as Dr. Van Markus, Zachary Quinto as Dr. Oliver Wolf.

After a spinal tap exam, Jessie loses her ability to control her arms \u2013 the rate at which this is happening becomes concerning. Dr. Jacob Nash is connecting with Jessie, telling her that he used to play D1 football, but had to give it up after one too many concussions. He reassures her that they will do whatever it takes to help her. Before leaving her room, he focuses on her smoothie. Bringing this to Dr. Wolf\u2019s attention, Dr. Nash shows him that Jessie has high levels of B6 and this may be the cause of her problems. While giving her fluids to flush her system, Jessie\u2019s condition deteriorates and she stops breathing on her own (what the hell is going on?<\/i>). Jessie is now intubated. Will she come back from this?\u00a0<\/p>\n Oliver is struggling with this one, and in times he\u2019s struggling we\u2019re brought back to his childhood. In this moment, we see a young Oliver talking with his father being unable to go through with making an incision on a cadaver. To this, his father gives him advice on how to deal. This advice is what he uses in a next effort to help Jessie; step outside yourself. Start small\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n
