    Cutest couple ever. "Chick flick" was hysterical. Danny was completely adorable!

    Take it for real people....

    Take the warning this episode for real. I love Code Black, it is so vibrant and alive and every storyline is essential. I could spend hours speaking of them all, but I just rather say, it is awesome

    scrubs did it better

    Fantastic TV spoiled by being something it is not , this show does not require gimmicks to be good the script and usually great acting take care of that.

    Unfortunately this cringe-worthy episode has spoiled what I regard to be one the better medical drams on TV at the moment.

    Leave the musical type episodes for other shows that specialise in dramedy or just straight out comedy like buffy or the fantastic show scrubs , which did so much better.

    For those looking for the song . . .

    In the opening, the doctors and nurses are seen singing the 2014 Hozier song "Angel of Small Death & the Codeine Scene." This is performed by Briana Lee, and, of course, performed by the cast.

    The song is performed again by John Ondrasik in his stripped down, acoustic cover version.

    Hope this helps!

    just skip this one!

    I agree with "scrubs did it better" (posted by abp-01663) . . . If I want to watch the cast of an hour-long drama burst into song and dance, I'll go back and re-watch a few episodes of Eli Stone.

    I watch Code Black for the stories, and this nonsense was just an unwanted interruption.

    I don't know if the writers were all down with the flu this week, so somebody had to find something to fill the empty space, but this was a disaster. I love Luis Guzmán (he's the reason I'm still watching Code Black) . . . But I don't need to see him dance.

    Fast-forward through the ridiculousness, and there is a story hidden in there somewhere . . . You just have to look for it.

    P. S. Am I the only one who's getting sick of the "Rob Lowe Show"?
