Last week on 'New Amsterdam' we saw a massive Code Silver situation at the hospital, but the thundering cloud had a silver lining - it brought Dr. Max Goodwin and Dr. Helen Sharpe closer together. And more importantly, it sealed her decision to stay at the hospital. 

Max and Helen together is the fandom's favorite ship that just hasn't sailed and after she was stripped off her position at the hospital, she didn't have clarity on what to do with her future. But her decision is just the first step towards her gaining back her place in the family and the new teaser for the next episode hints that it will not be easy. 

"I feel like I'm trespassing in my own hospital," Helen says in a somber voice as she walks the hallways looking alone and upset. Cut to the next scene, she's seen talking to the hospital staff saying, "but sometimes we have to bend the rules in order to help our patients." You know what this means right? 

Helen is accused of forging Max's signature - and then, Helen loses it. "Enough!" she yells at some fellow doctors. Helen is known to be one of the most feisty characters in the medical drama committed to saving lives and helping people, but has she gone too far this time?  

We think that she gets very upset with how she's being treated now that she's back at the hospital and that the constant reminder of what happened in the past drives her to get seriously frustrated. After all, Helen may understand and have her reasons to do what she did, but will anyone else understand why she helped a former patient get drugs illegally from a clinic so they could use it in a clean safe space? Highly unlikely. 

There's also a chance that Helen's storyline will become more independent as it progresses this season, with her taking on the big decisions without depending on Max. 

'New Amsterdam' Season 2 Episode 11 airs on January 21, 2020 at 10pm ET/PT on NBC.
