The Scalpel and the Ripper
20 March 2024
A street vendor has his throat sliced by a man with a scalpel, and he escapes cutting steel bars with the object. On the next morning, Jack, Ryan and Micki read the article on the newspaper and Jack finds on the manifest that an ancient scalpel that belonged to Jack the Ripper was sold by Lewis to a man named James Bronson. They head to Bronson's blade shop, and Jack convinces Bronson to tell them who bought the scalpel. The new owner is Dr. Vincent Howlett, an average student of medicine that has turned into a star surgeon with his miraculous surgeries. Now he is hired by the Ravenbrook Hospital, where one of his former professors, Dr. Patricia Price, is the head of the surgery department. She has a beef with Howlett, but the hospital needs him to recover its reputation. Meanwhile, Jack, Ryan and Micki go to the hospital where a woman named Jean Flappen accuses Dr. Howlett of killing her daughter. She wants to shoot him, but Ryan avoids the murder. Now the trio will search for Dr. Howlett, but he needs to kill someone first with the scalpel to operate then.

"Doctor Jack" is a good episode of "Friday the 13th: The Series", with a story based on Jack the Ripper. The plot point is the dilemma of Micki and Ryan regarding Jack's accident in the elevator's shaft. Should they trust Dr. Vincent Howlett to perform the surgery of not? My vote is seven.
