[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Brilliant Minds Season 2 Episode 5 “Once Upon a Time in America.”]

“Sometimes trying is all we can do,” Dr. Oliver Wolf (Zachary Quinto) says in the Monday, October 20, episode of Brilliant Minds. And Dr. Josh Nichols (Teddy Sears) certainly does just that when the lives of two brothers, working as window repairmen, who fell 39 stories rest in his hands.

Josh is able to save Jorge, but Benny, who had been the first to wake, has a catastrophic stroke. Despite his best efforts, there’s nothing he can do. Their mother, who had been so focused on Jorge after Benny turned his back on what she believes, is devastated and curses Josh.
