Rather than avoid the conversation, Preacher tells Connie about Wes and his abusiveness to Paige after they got married. Preacher tells her to let it go, but she can’t. She tells him that authorities are looking for Wes as he’s gone missing. A whole host of issues is affecting him, but it doesn’t help that Charmaine is slowly trying to establish romance between them. Jack is not himself in “Can’t Let Go”, and it shows.

Mel and Hope find more common ground in “Can’t Let Go”, but it’s a depressing common ground. When he puts it like that, it’s easy to see how complicated it has become. “Can’t Let Go” is trying to show how masculine these men are! One of Jack’s friends tells Jack that he should try “lockdown” Mel, but Jack brings up how she’s widowed and that Charmaine is pregnant. Later on, the men play American football and then have a bottle of beer.

When Jack asks them to follow him, one of the crew named Zeke brings up Iraq which was meant to be a joke about Jack leading them, but it doesn’t land well.

Mel believes she has been fired, but Doc reminds her she’s the only nurse practitioner around he tells her that Charmaine has a slight arrhythmia. You have to treat Charmaine, Melĭoc talks to Mel about Charmaine. They ask about Brady, which makes the conversation awkward. Jack and Preacher reunite with their marine friends, which comes with increased masculinity and celebrations. This is a valid point, but “Can’t Let Go” suggests Jack is an exhausted man and he does not have time for the dramas. Mel tells Jack that she doesn’t like how Charmaine is using her to manipulate him. Jack tells Mel to give it some thought which irks her - he then tells her he has been sleeping on the couch near Charmaine as part of an agreement to stop spreading gossip. Mel speaks to Jack about her engagement ring that Stacey wants. Feels like a useless complaint considering it’s lawful. Mel reminds her that she’s an adult and it’s the law for patient confidentiality she feels Lizzie is a responsible adult, but Connie isn’t having it and tells her she’s going to speak to Doc about it. Birth control prescription for LizzieĬonnie angrily approaches Mel about the birth control prescription she gave to Lizza, and she is fuming. Doc must be enjoying all the attention he’s getting a little bit. Hope feels bad about not helping him in the egg relay, but Doc insists the dance class is not a date and invites her to join.

Doc checks up on her and tells Jack that he could use some rest as well as he looks stressed. Charmaine wakes Jack up and tells him that her heart is racing. His PTSD is giving him vivid night terrors. Jack is still suffering from his war memories while sleeping. “Can’t Let Go” sees Mel’s personal issue persist as the episode progresses.

And it’s no surprise she walked off really she was married to this bloke - Mel was not a random woman he brought home. Stacey then tries to justify her mother not inviting Mel by saying she didn’t like any woman Mark brought home and asks if their marriage would have lasted. Mel didn’t know about the memorial, so she is clearly hurt by it. Stacey asks how Mel lives through the middle of nowhere, and it reminds her of Mark with all the hiking and adventures she then brings up Mark’s memorial and the ring. Mel jogs with Stacey through the woods - she loves a jog this one.
