Let’s just say that the third episode of NBC’s St. Denis Medical, titled “Weird Stuff You Can’t Explain,” seems poised to live up to its name. Ron (David Alan Grier), apparently tired of the pervasive superstitions plaguing the hospital, decides to take matters into his own hands. His efforts to debunk these beliefs, however, appear set to go spectacularly awry, resulting in a series of odd events that might just prove the superstitious right. Because if a hospital administrator declares there are no such things as ghosts… well, you know what’s coming, right?
Meanwhile, Joyce (Wendi McLendon-Covey) and Matt (Mekki Leeper) turn amateur sleuths, attempting to unearth a secret harbored by one of their colleagues. The specifics of this clandestine information remain under wraps, but it looks likely to inject a dose of mystery into the typically comedic proceedings. Will it involve a clandestine romance? Questionable billing practices? A second family living in the hospital basement? We’ll find out soon enough.
Amid the supernatural shenanigans and cloak-and-dagger investigations, the core cast of St. Denis Medical will continue to grapple with the usual chaos of an understaffed hospital. The show’s mockumentary format offers a wry perspective on the daily grind of medical professionals, highlighting the absurdity of their predicament with a mix of sharp wit and surprising heart. So, while the episode title suggests a focus on the paranormal, we can probably still count on the familiar blend of workplace humor and surprisingly relatable character moments.
