Official Description

NBC/CTV have released the official (spoiler-filled) description of the upcoming episode of "Saving Hope". Titled "Heartsick", this episode is scheduled to air in the U.S. & Canada at 9:00pm on Thursday, July 26th on NBC/CTV.

From NBC: With Charlie’s life hanging in the balance, Alex and Dawn go head-to-head over who gets to be his legal decision maker – but are forced to put personal matters aside when they scrub into a heart transplant surgery together. Charlie, meanwhile, is in no mood to talk to the heart donor – a deceased prisoner.

From CTV: The gloves are off as Alex and Dawn lawyer up and head to a hearing that will determine who Charlie’s legal decision maker will be – a ruling that could determine whether or not life saving treatment will continue. The tribunal hears the passionate testimony of Charlie’s fiancée and ex-wife; both claim an intimate knowledge of Charlie’s end of life wishes, and neither will compromise. While they await a decision, Alex scrubs into a heart transplant surgery of a long-time patient – and, at the last minute, is joined by Dawn, who is covering for Hope Zee’s under-the-weather cardiologist. The two women find themselves operating as a team as they work through the complications with the transplant. In the spirit world, Charlie encounters the owner of the donor heart – a prisoner who died in a violent jail yard dispute. Charlie’s too preoccupied with the hearing to give the prisoner the time of day, but the prisoner needs his guidance when Alex’s patient’s body begins to reject the heart. In the ER, Joel treats the police sergeant who brought in the heart and is complaining of back pain. While the sergeant is a seasoned cop, Joel’s seen his fair share of tragic things too – and he knows that something else is wrong.
