!!!!!! This review contains spoilers !!!!!!
What I really enjoyed Hope and Mercy is how it seemed to me to be more dark and sinister than the previous episodes before it.
When the episode starts out, Melinda's husband Jim is at work when a motorcycle rider gets in an accident and he and his partner are dispatched to bring him to the hospital when the ambulance gets a flat tire and goes off the side of the rode, resulting in Jim getting hurt and the motorcycle dying. When Melinda gets to the hospital to see Jim, Hope, a patient who died after a botched operation, wants Melinda to go to her husband to help him stop blaming himself for her death.
As the episode progresses; Melinda learns, with the help of the surgical nurse that helped with Hope's operation, that she died through the fault of the doctor. When she visits the doctor's house, Melinda learns that he is in the early stages of dementia, causing him to make the occasional error while working. When Melinda meets with Hope's husband to read him the note she wrote before she died, you could see that his guilt was starting to go away when she didn't blame him for her being in the hospital, freeing Hope to cross over.
Once Hope crosses over, Melinda goes to the hospital to visit with the doctor who performed Hope's surgery, to help him see that it was time to retire due to his illness. When he told her that he didn't know what she was talking about, Melinda told him that his wife informed her about what was happening with him and wanted Melinda to help her tell him that it was for the best to retire, that way she could cross over.
However, what I found to be the best part of the episode was the ending, when Jim told Melinda about motorcycle rider who died, he just got out of prison the week before and on the night of the ambulance accident, the guy was going to kill his girlfriend; then when Jim and Melinda turn off the lights in their room, you see the deceased motorcycle rider standing outside their house and then walks away, a sign of sinister things to come.
