Rush Episode 1.02 Don't Ask Me Why

Sarah's rejection sends Rush off on a bender. After a weekend of hard partying, both the doctor and his car break down. Eve finds him passed out on the side of the road the next morning. Rush brushes off her concern and tasks her with fixing his Mercedes.

A panicked Alex meets up with Rush-the blood bank is onto him. He urges Rush to call his dad for help, but Rush refuses, instead giving Alex a lead on obtaining fresh blood to be used as a replacement for the stolen batch.

Rush heads to an MMA gym to treat young boxer Troy Huntsman. Despite his questionable condition, Troy's brother-cum-manager wants Rush to sign a medical release form stating that he is good to fight. Rush explains that a fight could be fatal, but after a brief negotiation, agrees to sign the waiver on one condition: Troy must throw the match.

Rush's next patient is celebrity life coach Isabel Thoreau. While fixing her wound, Rush fends off Isabel's attempts at getting him to open up. The doctor avoids facing his emotions, but he can't avoid Billy Bloom, who drags him to Raoul's house to get his painting back. Later, Rush watches the MMA fight and sees Troy hitting his hardest, ignoring their deal. Rush arrives to the event in time to perform an emergency operation on the bloody boxer.

Alex meets Rush and informs him that he's been suspended from the hospital pending an investigation. Alex was caught trying to replace the blood. Rush finally agrees to call his dad and makes one last stop at Isabel's for an intimate coaching session. After taking a hot shower, making a sexual conquest, and getting his car fixed, Rush is back to even.
