Season 5 of New Amsterdam (quite literally) started off with a bang. In Episode 3, Bellevue Hospital dealt with the aftermath of a tragic explosion. Heading into the fourth episode of the season, entitled “Heal Thyself,” Bellevue is still recovering.
The description for Episode 4 teased that Max forces the staff to take a “personal health day,” while Iggy went on a first date. In addition, teasers hinted that there was a love connection brewing between Dr. Reynolds and a “persuasive new member of the staff.”

Although not much is known about her character as of this writing, we anticipate that she will play a major part in Season 5’s storyline.
