Is Janet Montgomery leaving New Amsterdam, Dr. Lauren Bloom?
Let’s go ahead and explain the situation that Bloom’s in. At the end of this past episode, the character explained that in order to ensure that Leyla would not leave her position, she would leave her own. This was the thing that she felt was the most fair after falsely representing how Leyla got her spot on the team in the first place. She wants to be in control of her own life, and that is something that Bloom took away from her — regardless of what her intentions were.
We know that you will see Dr. Bloom again tonight, as it appears as though we could be entering her last day at the hospital. Or, that’s how it will be presented. Will she really leave? That’s a little harder to figure out. Leyla may decide that she wants Lauren to stay in her current post, or Bloom could find a job somewhere else within the hospital in a role that doesn’t oversee Leyla directly. There are plenty of scenarios where Montgomery stays on as a cast member, but we’ll wait until the episode airs and plays before we confirm much of anything.
Beyond Dr. Bloom, there are certainly other big decisions that need to be made tonight, as well — take, what Max and Helen want to do after coming back to the hospital. They have a new life in London, but will they walk away from the hospital and Fuentes’ reign of terror?
What happened tonight?
The short answer is that it’s all still in flux. Bloom did want to stay at the end of the episode, only for Fuentes to accept her resignation anyway. She may not be employed now, but we have a hard time thinking her story is over.
