If we needed to describe the place The Resident goes with Dr. Conrad Hawkins (Matt Czuchry) and Dr. Billie Sutton (Jessica Lucas) after that fall finale kiss, it must be “inevitable.” But don’t really feel too dangerous for Dr. Cade Sullivan (Kaley Ronayne), who does discover out what occurred between her (ex-)boyfriend and his late spouse’s finest buddy — she may not be alone for lengthy.
Upon coming back from visiting her father, Dr. Ian Sullivan (Andrew McCarthy) in rehab, Cade admits she lied about the place she was to Conrad. To her shock, he’s not upset, simply centered on what means for her and her dad. But that’s additionally as a result of he has his personal confession to make: “I haven’t been honest with myself or you, about my feelings for Billie.” She asks if one thing occurred. “I kissed her,” he says. Though he needs to speak about it, she’d a lot slightly go away. He insists he needed issues to work out between them and he didn’t understand how he felt about Billie. “Everybody else did. Literally, everyone,” she tells him and accuses him of being solely “half-in” together with her.
Cade, later, understandably, has Conrad discuss to Billie in regards to the switch of one in every of her ICU sufferers. And after that, Conrad is very happy to seek the advice of on a affected person for Dr. Devon Pravesh (Manish Dayal). “Distract me,” he virtually pleads. Devon’s not shocked: “We all knew it was coming. .Kit and Bell’s wedding, everybody saw it.” And once more, Conrad is left with the sensation of “everybody but me.”
But hey, Conrad and Billie are very joyful about this flip of occasions, although she is avoiding speaking to James (Ian Anthony Dale). Conrad is aware of they may’ve carried out this in a cleaner approach, nevertheless it occurred “and we are going to do to this right from now on.” (That means she has to speak to James.) “I don’t love how we got here, but I am so happy we are here,” Conrad tells her. So is she.
James isn’t the one one Billie has to speak to, although. She finds Cade to present her the prospect to get what she’s feeling off her chest, particularly since she hopes they’ll be working collectively for a very long time.

But Cade likes her (even when she needs she didn’t) and is aware of that nobody does the swooping in conditions like this; slightly it’s a two-handed sport. What she doesn’t want to listen to is Billie saying Conrad’s not accountable for emotions he couldn’t combat or face. Still, Cade tells her, “I will survive because I know what I deserve. I deserve someone who loves me, not someone who’s working overtime to deny they love you.” Furthermore, she provides earlier than leaving, that “Hawkins” — notice using his final title! — by no means informed her he beloved her. Was this probably the most mature scene we’ve ever gotten between two events in a love triangle with one other particular person on a TV present?!
James, too, is levelheaded about the entire thing, whilst he faces his mentor presumably dying at Chastain. He additionally is aware of precisely what Billie is there to speak about when she finds him. It was enjoyable whereas it lasted, however his coronary heart’s intact, he assures her.
And with that, Conrad and Billie are free to be collectively and go away the hospital holding fingers and smiling. As for his or her exes … Cade finds James after his mentor dies, they acknowledge they’re a part of the identical membership, and he or she invitations him out for drinks, which he accepts. Is it bizarre that we’re sort of OK with them as a pair, despite the fact that we often hate the “wrong” love pursuits getting collectively?
Elsewhere, Padma (Aneesha Joshi), final seen standing on a bridge, steps down after getting a textual content from her twin sister, Dr. Leela Devi (Anuja Joshi) and goes to her for assist. Leela and Devon take Padma to the hospital, the place she’s evaluated for postpartum despair. She’ll be moved to a spot that focuses on it, Leela explains later, with the sisters admitting they’ll’t be with out one another. Padma brings up the infants, and Leela provides her an replace earlier than assuring her the worst is over and he or she’s at first of her restoration.
After the infants’ father, Dr. AJ Austin (Malcolm-Jamal Warner), has completed an vital, dangerous surgical procedure, Leela tells him what’s been happening with Padma. She doesn’t wish to face him as a result of she’s ashamed, she says of her sister, however she’s sure that after she’s higher, she’ll be there for the twins. AJ has his considerations, however Leela insists that Padma simply wants their assist.
Meanwhile, Dr. Kit Voss (Jane Leeves), as CEO of Chastain, reveals that they’re closing the ER to trauma at midnight, because of their tight price range. Funding comes from the governor’s discretionary funds, so that they’re at his mercy, that means it’s no use to attempt an emergency attraction to the state meeting. But it’s not simply that they’re dropping the helicopters on the roof and the trauma workforce gained’t be activated; this additionally means fewer employees and worries about what’s subsequent.
Though at first Kit says the combat’s over — after which AJ factors out that no matter occurs, even when the entire place shut down, they created one thing nice collectively and that may dwell on — she modifies her thoughts after Conrad brings her to speak to a affected person.

And so it’s not simply Conrad and Billie going “all in” on their relationship. Kit brings dinner right down to the ER and proclaims that they won’t be closing their trauma middle.
