And, who could forget that tragic ferry crash in season 3?
Gary Clark
Take a good look at this face, because it’s the face of evil.
But he channeled that rage and went on a shooting rampage at the hospital.

The resulting episode was a pivotal one for the series, but we’ll never forgive Gary.

And no, we’re not going to explain to you what it means.

In this case it’sthe Whipple procedure, which is a very specific treatment for pancreatic cancer.
