“TB or Not TB” — That Is the Question

Ooh, la la! Check out the Royal Pains photo above. Could it be that displaced Dr. Hank Lawson and Hamptons hospital administrator extraordinaire Jill Casey are getting closer to doing “the deed”? Or is it just another false start, destined to be interrupted before the deed gets done?

I have not the slightest clue, so tune in to tonight’s fresh June 25 episode “TB or Not TB” to find out what the deal is with that beach face-to-face.

During the episode, HankMed takes on the case of one Allison Moore (Callie Thorne of FX’s Rescue Me, pictured above, the most under-promoted super-awesome guest star in basic-cable history — you’d think USA Network would be shouting about her appearance from the mountaintops), the head chef and owner of a happening Hamptons food establishment.

Hank attempts to help her avoid serious damage after she suffers a stroke, but, unfortunately, the cuisine expert disappears before he can give her the necessary treatment. In other words, get ready for another medical mystery that’s a tad more mysterious than usual.

Of course, the sneak peek below has nothing to do with saving lives. The scene is just brothers Hank and Evan sorta playing tennis, which is much more entertaining than it sounds. A promo clip follows, as well.
