Halfway through its first season, The Knick appears to be foundering a bit... the show has fragmented into a series of overlapping stories.

It's been a pleasure watching Steven Soderbergh stress Thackery and Algernon's unspoken shifts in opinion of one another, and "They Capture the Heat" skirts it on the margins.

The Knick is still a bit of a circus built around a large group of characters it doesn't entirely seem to know what to do with, episodes like this help to better define them and point toward individual arcs that factor more concretely in the narrative.
