October 8, 2013 – After last week’s exciting conclusion of Code Blue, UTB Hollywood 18.2 begins on-air broadcast this week of Code Blue 2nd Season every Wednesday, starting October 9th.
In the season’s premiere episode, young doctors-in-training Aizawa (Tomohisa Yamashita), Shiraishi (Yui Aragaki), Hiyama (Erika Toda), Fujikawa (Yosuke Asari) continue their journey toward completion of the specialized “helicopter doctor” program. On Christmas Eve, just three months away from completion, they meet Tachibana (Kippei Shiina) from the main hospital, who holds their future in his hands. He will decide if they pass the program or start over for re-training. Hiyama is still troubled by her heart problems, but refuses to stop her training for treatment. Aizawa takes the lead in a helicopter rescue involving a motorcycle accident and rushes to save a drowned child from the freeing river at the scene.
