Hell is What You Make of It is the fourth episode of the first season of the medical and crime drama series Third Watch which was broadcast originally from NBC on October 10, 1999. It was directed by Christopher Misiano and written by Edward Allen Bernero.

Synopsis

The two rookies, Carlos and Davis, experience disillusionment with their new jobs and their training officers. Bosco struggles with homophobia and gets himself involved in tit for tat games with Doherty.

Full Summary

Rookie Carlos struggles with disillusionment over his new job due to his contentious relationship with his training officer, Doc. At the scene of a gangbanger's shooting, Doc insists that he and Carlos remain in the ambulance until police arrive to control the assembled onlookers (some still brandishing weapons). Angry at the paramedics' inaction, a man in the crowd smashes the ambulance's windshield, and Doc quickly backs the rig away from the scene. Carlos cannot believe that Doc won't take action when a young man lies bleeding in the street. Doc reminds Carlos that their failure to follow procedure resulted in Jerry's shooting.

Carlos confides his dissatisfaction to Davis, who feels the same way about his trainer, Sully. Sully's seeming passivity causes Davis to refer to him as an "old lady." Ignoring Sully's advice not to get emotionally involved with every crime victim, Davis loses control and batters a child molester in a crowded hospital lobby. Meanwhile, Doherty sends flowers to Bosco as a prank. Concerned that people think he's gay, Bosco changes the way he walks. Later, he overcomes his homophobia to prevent Larry Foley , a man whose lover just left him, from jumping off a balcony.

Still secretly longing for partner Kim, Bobby continues to date Dana Murphy, a nurse. After an encounter with teenage junkie and prostitute Sunny , Kim urges the girl to get off the streets and go to St. Mary's Shelter for runaway teens. Later, Kim and Bobby gladly drive a reluctant Sunny to the place. Left alone momentarily in the ambulance, Sunny steals Kim's wallet containing money. When Kim discovers the theft, she feels foolish for trying to help Sunny. Bobby tracks down the teenager and forces her to surrender the now empty wallet. Bobby returns the wallet to Kim, secretly replacing the missing money, and restores Kim's faith in humanity and in her own judgment.
