It sometimes takes a true disaster for people to share their deepest feelings and it seems that could be the case in the upcoming episode of 'New Amsterdam'. In what proves to be a gripping trailer, we see that a chemical spill occurs in the hospital. We overhear an ominous voiceover in Dr Floyd Reynolds's (Jocko Sims) voice on how this incident can cause total vision loss.

The next thing we see is a bewildered Dr Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold) saying that he can't see. What does seem to become clear, is that Dr Helen Sharpe (Freema Agyeman) as she cradles Max in her arms, sees how much she cares for Max.
