When I wrote this episode, my fingers trembled—not from fear, but from the weight of truth buried in fiction.
This chapter was born out of the silent wars many professionals fight behind the polished glass of institutions. Hospitals—like any system—can sometimes be less about healing and more about hiding. The Severance Clause explores what happens when courage meets corruption, when a lone woman dares to confront the ghosts in her system.
Zainab's battle in this episode is more than professional—it's deeply personal. The threat to her license, her name, her very identity, mirrors the countless unseen battles that nurses, doctors, and ethical whistleblowers around the world face every day.
I wanted readers to feel that sting of betrayal… but also the surge of resistance.
This episode isn't just a turning point in the story—it's a reminder that power doesn't always win quietly. Sometimes, it gets confronted by a woman who decides she won't be erased.
Thank you for reading.
Let's brace ourselves—because from here on, nothing will stay the same.
