New Amsterdam.
In Tuesday s episode “Radical,” a patient named Niall arrives with his girlfriend. Soon two more people arrive who identify themselves as his boyfriend. While Dr. Floyd Reynolds (Jocko Sims) and Dr. Lauren Bloom (Janet Montgomery) are treating the patient they have a conversation about the polyamorous “quad.” When Reynolds seems slightly uncomfortable about it, Bloom tells him, “Don’t be such a square.”
“There is no way that I could share my person with someone else,” he tells her later. “It just seems wrong to me, like, morally.” Again, Bloom dismisses his values saying, “Morally? Ok, not every relationship has to look like yours and Evie s.”

(Warning: This post contains spoilers for Tuesday’s “New Amsterdam.”)
“New Amsterdam” gave Dr. Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold) yet another impossible problem to solve with this week’s episode of the NBC medical drama, which saw Max and the staff grapple with the historic name of the New York City hospital and the brutal past that the New Amsterdam moniker conjures up for a Native American patient of Lenape descent.
The actor has played Dr. Kapoor in the medical drama since 2018.
For Cardinal, âI can feel [the lack of respect]. Itâs in your marrow,â says the prolific Canadian Indigenous actress (
Dances
With Wolves), explaining why she took her first flight in a year to be part of telling the story.Â
The episodeâs writer, Shanthi Sekaran, realized the show had taken the name for granted. âI wanted Jane to be a headstrong, flinty woman who pushed the limits of activism and pushed Max to the limits of his idealism,â she says. âMax is all about reckoning and justice â so how might he reckon with Janeâs demands?â
