OFF THE MAP “Everything’s As It Should Be” Review

Off The Map

OFF THE MAP “Everything’s As It Should Be” Season 1 Episode 11 – An old friend of Ben’s shows up with a patient in need of a kidney transplant and everyone at the clinic thinks they’ve just gotten their first chance to do something amazing at their little jungle hospital. The only trouble is that the guy’s patient was paying someone to give their kidney to him. Not only that, but he had actually brokered the deal and was getting a bunch of money himself. When the patient dies, Ben kicks his friend out but not before the man brings up some very good points about what he was doing to his wife.

Meanwhile Tommy and Mina are doing a pretty good job at keeping things normal, until a new man charms his way into Mina’s heart and makes Tommy realize that he doesn’t want her with anyone else. He doesn’t get the chance to say it before catching the two lovebirds canoodling in the shower.

But while Tommy’s getting his heart broken, both Zita and Lily decide that enough is enough and each take their men back – Lily over dinner and Zita in a supply closet.

My favorite bits….

Lily enjoying the fact that Mina and Tommy were being all normal again and bickering like they should.

Mina reminding Tommy that the chicken had a name and that name was Dinner.

Mateo’s mom trying to play matchmaker with Lily and her son.

Charlie bringing Lily the news that Ben wanted her to scrub in on the transplant.

Pher walking up to Mina…with his toes in his hand!!! Eek!

Cole’s imitation of Jonas and Ben. LOL.

Pher asking Tommy if Mina was single..and him saying no. Uh oh.

Lily finding out that the kidney transplant was being done for money. Whoa.

Tommy making fun of Pher as a shortening of Christopher. Actually, I think “Pher” is kind of a cute name.

Cole reporting to Zita that the old man wasn’t being abused, he was getting laid. Ha!

Jonas claiming that he didn’t know a thing about the transplant being for money? Yeah right, I’m not buying that one at all.

Jonas admitting he was getting paid himself and had brokered the deal. Yep, that’s pretty much what I figured.

The girl admitting that she may have been sorry that the man died, but not that she’d taken a shot.

Cracking up when Pher said that his foot looked like it was saying “hang loose.” (Okay I know he’s totally annoying, but I’m kinda digging Pher. He’s a total goofball.)

The woman leaving her father in the care of his lover, so she could go to Rio and have a little time to herself. I don’t begrudge her that at all.

Tommy admitting to Lily that he didn’t want Mina dating anyone else and her telling him to take his shot.

Jonas accusing Ben of using one of the most talented doctors he’s ever known, as an ATM machine. Ouch.

Mateo’s mom faking being sick so that she could invite Lily to dinner.

Lily taking her chance and kissing Mateo. Good for her!

Pher telling Mina that he had buried his toes by the river and was pretty sure that a squirrel had eaten one, which was okay because of the Circle of Life and all that. LOL!

Cole and Zita demonstrating a position for the old man and his lady…and then doing the deed for real in the supply closet. Nice.

    Thanks for blogging.

    I enjoyed this episode, it was a fairly light hearted for most of it, but had the serious bit with the ‘organs for sale’ bit. Not that losing three toes is light hearted but you know what I mean.

    I feel bad for Tommy but have the feeling that it will be re-visited. Did we know that Abby was rich and that’s why Ben was keeping her alive? Not sure I remember that from earlier shows.

    I like Cole and Zita being together, hope that stays a while.

    A favorite line of mine was Lily interrupting Tommy and Mina and then giving them the line that they were at in their argument! LOL!

    Liking Off the Map more each week.

      LOL yes it’s odd to say that losing toes is light-hearted and yet, the way they did it in this episode, it totally was.

      Yeah we learned about Ben’s wife being rich and basically funding the clinic from her coma bed fairly early on in the series.

      Cole and Zita are great! I hope that stays too.

      Yep I agree, I’m liking a little more each week, too.
