When we return, Carlos is waiting in line at a convenience store. He sees a guy who doesn't have enough change to pay for his purchase. "I should do something here," Carlos thinks. "But what?" After much soul searching, he gives some change to the guy to help him pay. "You sure?" the guy asks. "Um...yeah?" Carlos declares. Suddenly, Carlos is walking down the street and the song, "Flashdance (What a Feeling)" plays. I have to admit, that's pretty funny. A woman loses her hat in a strong wind and Carlos runs into the street to retrieve it for her. He doesn't even hit on her. Carlos then helps a guy carrying some boxes down the street. And, hey! Look over there! Carlos is helping me write my recap by doing stuff that's easy to gloss over!
Later, in the ambulance, Carlos does his humble job by alerting Doc to all the nice acts he's been committing lately. He says he's been helping people and listening to people. "Now I know why you do it. It feels good. It feels real good," Carlos says. He says this is how people must feel when they go to church. Suddenly they get a call.
Carlos and Doc arrive at a home where a man has been electrocuted trying to fix a light. Oh, by the way, how many Carloses does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Three. One to be a dumb-ass, one to screw in the bulb, and the other to make me regret I was ever born, much less alive to see this show. The electrocuted man has no pulse, and his wife is crying up a storm. Carlos asks her to move out of the way, and Doc is getting impatient. Carlos tries again to move her. She's still crying and carrying on. Carlos finally yells at the woman to shut up and asks if she wants to kill her husband. He completely loses his temper here. The woman whimpers while Doc calls him back. Carlos just failed his compassion test. But, what's this? A possible save? Carlos argues with Doc on a call and turns out to be right by giving the man some shocks to counter the electrocution. The man's pulse returns, so it must have been a good call. Doc seems impressed, at least.
