For one, Max and Wilder fly to Bermuda of all places, to secure a donor to save the groom who has a very rare blood type. So many things felt really out of place and were morally questionable in this episode. They would have definitely done it justice. Yes, the story is an important one to tell, IF you can flesh it out and highlight the effects of child marriage on those involved, especially the victim, and expose the fact that even if the young bride goes to the police, nothing will be done and then what are the long term effects of that? To me, the storyline would have made a great episode of Law and Order: SVU. Although I believe that this is definitely a topic that needs to be explored and brought to life, it felt out of place on a medical drama.
Child marriage is currently legal in 44 states. The concept of child brides is one that often feels foreign to those that live in well developed countries such as the US, however, it is more common than anyone cares to admit. After some pretty decent work from Iggy (yes, I said Iggy), we find out that the girl wasn’t the flower girl after all, she was actually the bride. However, something just did not feel right about the circumstances of the situation, especially since the flower girl had gone into a catatonic state. The New Amsterdam team worked together to save the groom of a wedding, who was severely injured when the venue went up in flames. This week's episode dealt with a very disturbing, yet very prevalent problem in the United States.
