Quote: Eddie Diaz, Dr. Ana Flores and Carla Price

Ana: I think she lied to you.

Eddie: About What?

Carla: That's a lot of Fund Me pages.

Ana: There's Sheila and Charlie Burns in El Paso, Sheila and Charlie Young in Phoenix, and Sheila and Charlie Watts of Santa Fe. It's him, the same kid every time, just with different last names and different cities.

Eddie: Charlie did say they moved around a lot. That would explain the different accounts and different cities, but not the different names.

Carla: What did his mom say his illness was?

Eddie: She didn't. Not really. Said it was autoimmune.

Carla: Well, that's awfully general. Charlie did say he goes to a lot of different doctors. Could be doctor shopping. Which is what you do when you're not really sick, you're just looking for a doctor to say that you are.

Eddie: You think she's lying?

Ana: Well, we wouldn't be the only ones. Most of the Fund Me pages were shut down, but the comments are still up.

Eddie: "This woman is a fraud and a scammer. Do not trust her". "She's a con artist looking for money and attention". Oh, God.

Carla: What?

Eddie: "I think she's making her kid sick."

~ Eddie Diaz, Dr. Ana Flores and Carla Price, 9-1-1 season 4 episode 13: Suspicion

I think this scene is one of the few times, the writers made Dr. Ana Flores seem interesting with her uncovering important information about Charlie and his mother Sheila. Because throughout the fourth and early part of the fifth season they really didn't give the actress Gabrielle Walsh much to work with. And Ana ended up appearing on screen as little more than a cardboard cut out (which I think was intentional). The other times Ana was even remotely interesting were when she was first introduced in the third season 12th episode Fools and in her final scene in the fifth season 3rd episode Desperate Measures. Those were the rare instances where she was able to stand out in a scene.

However, I think the purpose of Dr. Ana Flores was for Eddie to get back into dating following the death of his wife Shannon. He needed to see what he want and didn't want in a relationship. I don't think Ana was supposed to really stand out because if she was the writers would have done that. It makes me think that this was a relationship between them that was never going to work out and that Ana was supposed to be rather bland and invisible. I think that was a point the writers were trying to make because although, Dr. Ana Flores seemed like she would be perfect for Eddie but in truth she was not what he was truly looking for romantically.

My point in writing this, was that I really liked this scene with Ana, Eddie and Carla figuring out that Charlie's mom Sheila was intentionally making him sick in order to get money. This was just a good scene especially in its entirety that showed Ana actually getting a chance to be interesting.
