New Amsterdam season 3 episode 5 will continue to see most of the characters adapting to the changes within the titular hospital. Next week's episode is titled "Blood, Sweat, & Tears," which clearly suggests that the doctors will have to deal with more unexpected challenges.

According to the synopsis of New Amsterdam season 3 episode 5, Helen Sharpe (Freema Agyeman) noticed that the blood supply in the hospital is running dangerously low. The situation prompted Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold) to orchestrate a plan to get them out of trouble.

The hospital has been facing a lot of issues as of late and the blood supply problem is going to be another problem for everyone. Yet, Max will do whatever he can to find a solution for this even though he knows resolving such a situation is a difficult task.

Apart from dealing with this problem, Max also finds out about Helen and Cassian Shin (Daniel Dae Kim) in New Amsterdam season 3 episode 5. The bond between the two is becoming deeper and this could lead to a complicated love triangle later on.

In the previous episode, Helen planned to go to Iran to search for her half-brother. However, she eventually found out that he's already dead. Shortly after learning the news, Cassian showed up and comforted her during her time of grief.

Helen shared that she felt like she wasted a lot of time not getting to know her half-brother more. Then, she revealed that she doesn't want to waste another time with Cassian. The latter also revealed something important about his personal life; he was adopted when he was three years old.

After sharing their stories, Helen and Cassian grew even closer and on the verge of becoming a real couple. Yet, that doesn't mean that Max is already out of the picture. In fact, the promo hinted there's some sort of jealousy coming along the way.

As for what else is coming in New Amsterdam season 3 episode 5, Floyd Reynolds (Jocko Sims) realized he has something to learn from Lauren Bloom (Janet Montgomery). At the same time, he's coming to terms that he must now accept his new position.

Reynolds has to adjust to the situation since a lot of things have changed ever since he left the hospital. He must figure out where he really fits as some doctors aren't delighted by his return. For now, however, it is uncertain whether or not he'll be staying for a few more episodes.

New Amsterdam season 3 episode 5 airs on Tuesday, March 30, on NBC.
