The “haunted” particular person on this episode is Griffith (Alexis Floyd). At the beginning of the episode, the opposite interns are watching and re-watching a viral video of a health care provider throwing a tantrum and destroying a hospital room.

Owen revels with Teddy in that reminiscence… however then he falls asleep once more. Romantic second over.
Oh, and about that Link confession: He realizes now that he missed his likelihood so far Jo when she nonetheless had emotions for him as a result of he was too hung up on Amelia (Caterina Scorsone) on the time.
