"Saved by the Great White Hope" is the first episode of the ABC series Off the Map.
[2] The fictional, Clinica Cruz del Sur, is set in a remote, but beautiful, location in a lush tropical forest 'somewhere in South America.'
Lily and clinic founder, Ben, are required to go out on their own ziplines in order to free the man.
Ben later reveals that he knows that Lily took a long leave of absence from her residency, and she "wasn't bad for your first day back".
Ed tells Lily of the 'Lago De Luz', a lake where the algae are luminescent, looking "like fireflies caught just beneath the surface".
Zee, Otis and Ben perform surgery on Ed, noting that a number of his internal organs have been damaged during the collision with the tree (including his spleen and liver).
Before he is airlifted out, Lily demands that Ed is taken to the Lago de Luz so that he can complete his trip: "Today we saved his life, now lets give him the chance to move on with it."
Mina is seen to be a very thorough doctor, treating a man who presents with joint pain as though he has haemorrhagic fever.
At the end of the episode our three young doctors are seen standing at the edge of a cliff, staring out at paradise.
[3] This is also the highest rated premiere for young adults in 15 months for ABC in that timeslot.
[4] On the night of the encore special, the show was watched by 5.87 million viewers and scored a 2.0/6 rating/share with adults 18-49, which is considered good for a repeat.
"[8] David Hinckley of the New York Daily News gave the episode 3 stars out of 5, saying "we get something that fans of doctor shows like Grey's Anatomy will quickly recognize: a large crowd of good-looking young folks whose deep-down dedication to doctoring is matched by their deep-down personal and romantic neuroses.
"[9] Robert Bianco of USA Today gave the episode a poor review, saying how the show is too similar to Grey's.
Grey's can be too silly and playful, but it seldom lets you forget that its main characters are competent, competitive doctors with strong opinions they're willing and able to defend.
