Red Band Society season 1, episode 10 might be the last-ever installment of the ratings-challenged Fox drama. See the promotional images here.
Just before Thanksgiving, we brought you the news that Fox has chosen to pull the remaining episodes of Red Band Society from the schedule.
Tonight’s episode will be the last broadcast episode until further notice, and the show is likely cancelled – although Fox is still putting off making the final decision.

A total of 13 episodes were ordered for the series, and while executive producer Rina Mimoun has previously expressed hope for a shortened-season format (with a new cast of child patients for each season), Fox’s decision to pull the final three episodes isn’t a good sign.
Season 1, episode 10, “What I Did For Love,” was already scheduled to be the show’s mid-season finale, so we’re likely looking at some kind of cliffhanger ending. Or, if we’re lucky, we’ll get to see some of the storylines wrapped up.
The images reveal Adrian Lester’s return as Doctor Naday, and show an interesting, non-hospital conversation between Leo (Charlie Rowe) and Kara (Zoe Levin). Do you think the pair will bond over the fact that both of their significant others are having serious health problems?
The official synopsis for the episode reads:
“Emma goes home and learns a secret that throws her into a tailspin, as Jordi debates breaking the law to get what he wants. Meanwhile, betrayal abounds as Leo and Kara hit the road and leave Ocean Park Hospital. Then, Hunter receives the news he has been waiting for and approaches a life-altering medical procedure with Dash by his side. Also, love is in the air as Nurse Jackson and Dr. Naday try to get Charlie to respond.”
Note that while Red Band Society season 1 won’t be extended past its initial 13-episode run, there is still a chance that Fox will bring it back for a shortened second season. However, due to the show’s consistently low ratings, we don’t have high hopes.
