'Royal Pains' just got real

Hiccups, STDs, and digitalis toxicity.  If you guessed that they're the three leading causes of death amongst roadies and groupies, you'd be dead wrong.  However, if you guessed that they're what Hank MED is charged with curing on this episode of Royal Pains (http://www.usanetwork.com/series/royalpains/), you'd be dead on.  Also in this episode, Hank (Mark Feuerstein [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0275417/]) and Jill (Jill Flint [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1543216/]) continue their campaign to try to replace "the glass is half full" with "the glass is half empty" as the go-to metaphor used to describe their relationship.

This is another good, but not great episode.  It does its job of entertaining and setting up the stretch run of the show's first season--one that appears to be promising fireworks of some sort.  Now, whether they're of the Roman candle or sparkler variety remains to be seen.
