Hi, Ruthy! I had it on but I'm afraid I didn't follow the plot too closely because I was trying to keep up with a few FR threads at the same time :) Here's a summary, though (BTW, if you click on the links below, there are summaries of the other episodes as well--including episodes they haven't shown yet on the second link!):
Episode 6 - "Hook's Kingdom"
Air Date: 03/31/2004
The psychic Mrs. Druse is called to assist when the trapped evil spirit of a tortured teenaged boy wreaks havoc on the staff, patients and innocent spirits inhabiting Kingdom Hospital. Meanwhile Dr. Hook forges a relationship of the mortal variety.

I have my mid-year review today and it has been a rather anxiety-ridden week getting ready for it. I was feeling really confident until the Big-She-Chief invited herself to sit in on a handful of our meetings. The others she selected have been in hot water for some reason or another- being stubborn, not getting data out to customers, etc- and so I'm freaking out: "What did *I* do wrong???"
Sorry to hear you're stressing! A suggestion based on my own experience: if you go into your review worrying about what you did wrong, your supervisor will pick up on your worry, which will reinforce her suspicion that you did something wrong, even if you didn't! And you know she's the type that's already looking for excuses to trip you up, so it's probably intentional (at least subconsciously) that she's trying to make you nervous going into your review. To counter this, go into your review with an attitude that you know you do a good job and you'll be surprised (but not defensive!) if they find soemthing wrong, and you're prepared to calmly point to the facts that show what a good job you've been doing. Memorize a list of talking points going in so that you can take control of the conversation--anticipate where she's going to try to trip you up and be a step ahead of her. Also know who your enemies in the office are and what they're likely to have told her, so you can counter that (without appearing to point a finger back at them, but if you can subtly do so in a way which appears you're not doing it, do so). Just some suggestions based on my experience and what's worked for me in that type of situation. Prayers going up for ya!
