    Summary

    Hands are behind her neck, jostling her, and her limbs start to flail again. “It’s okay, it’s okay. It’s just me, Samira. It’s Robby.” The hands are back, and then she feels her head being lifted and a pillow sliding beneath. “Talk to me. What’s going on?”

    Summary

    'Unbeknownst to Robby, however, he would not be leaving, and it was entirely due to that conversation. Because of that conversation, he was going to lose one of his doctors today.

    He did not know this yet.

    Nobody knew this yet.

    They wouldn’t know until twenty minutes later, when Whitaker went to do that neuro check on the man in South 14.

    AKA: What if instead of Emma who gets assaulted in Episode 11, it’s Whitaker, and then things go from bad to fucking catastrophic very, very quickly, because turns out Whitaker’s a very, very good liar, with a very, very large and very, very dangerous secret?

    What if Robby’s guilt is strong enough to stop his doomed-ass sabbatical, due to the overwhelming responsibility he feels to 'atone for what he's done'?

    What if Whitaker has a chronic condition and some really shitty history he never discussed with anyone, and Robby can't stop being a doctor, no matter how much he keeps trying?

    Summary

    Sometimes Dennis misses Broken Bow. 

    It’s not like he isn’t glad he got out. He had to. That was non-negotiable. But still, he tells himself, he’s allowed to miss it without regret. The two are not indivisible from each other. 

    Which is why, when his father calls him ten times in one night, Dennis almost picks up.

    or, Dennis hasn't talked to his parents in four years. Until one day a certain John Whitaker shows up in the ER, hand infected and demanding to see his son.

    Summary

    “Uh… Langdon,” she calls, going for the first person she catches sight of. He likes Mel. “A word?”

    “Is it fast, because I have two patients who are getting pretty antsy with me,” he asks her. 

    They’re not on the best of terms, but they work together fine. Now they have a common interest. “I don’t know if it was just a faulty reading, or a—a fluke, or what, but King’s in with a kid right now who’s really anxious, so she was demonstrating some of the workup—”

    “I said fast, Santos,” he says, concern catching in his brow at the mention of Mel’s name. 

    “Her pulse ox was 92.” She has to swallow back… something. Nervousness, maybe. Concern if she were to convince herself she cared that much. “When she demonstrated the pulse oximeter, her pulse ox was 92.”

    Mel struggles to eat; the others notice. No one's loud about it, but no one has to be.

    Summary

    Janus doesn't blame Thoma, not really. It's not like it was a conscious act on his part to associate Janus with snakes.

    He just wishes it hadn't impacted him as much as it did.
