Wild Cards Season 3 Episode 3 Preview: M.D.-CEASED
Ellis and Max’s latest case pulls them into the high-pressure world of a hospital on Wild Cards Season 3 Episode 3, “M.D.-CEASED.”
The consultant procedural drama makes its return after a brief hiatus, following Wild Cards Season 3 Episode 2, “Quit Playing Games (With My Life).”
The dynamic duo must investigate the death of an ER’s top doctor, but that process is anything but simple.
However, that seems to be a rather stressful trend — at least for Max.
It seems like her day doesn’t start on the best note. In the promo video, she tells Ellis, “It’s fine. It’s just been a stressful morning.” That’s followed by some footage of George telling someone, presumably Max, “She lied to us.” Plus, Ricky can be seen telling Vivienne, “We’re talking life or death.”
It seems like the tensions with Vivienne haven’t simmered. So, needless to say, Max isn’t all that receptive to hearing about Ellis’s “beautiful” morning watching the sunset with his girlfriend, Jess.
Here’s everything you need to know about this episode, including the air date, cast, promo, and how to watch.
