Summary
“—and I know that there’s Becca and Tanner and Millie to consider, but I was wondering if you maybe wanted to move in? Together? With me?”
Mel blinks. He certainly doesn’t look like he’s having a stroke.
“Frank, why would we move in together?”
“I thought it might be nice,” he shrugs here, acting nonchalant even though Mel can see the tension in his jaw. “To take that next step in our relationship.”
“Frank, what are you talking about? We’re not in a relationship?”
At this, Frank’s frown deepens before widening into a frustrated half smile. “Uh, yes we are? We’ve been dating for nine months?”
What.
Or, Frank thinks Mel doesn’t do physical touch.
Or, Mel doesn’t realize they’ve been dating for nine months.- Language:

Summary
“I don’t know how to treat him. It’s cruel to be nice, but it’s worse to be outright mean to him.’
“You are outright mean to him.” Dana scoffed. A glare came her way. “You’re mean to everyone.”
“That’s not true.”
“And you’re nice. You’re a good mentor. You’re good at what you do. You’re treating him right–equally. Somewhat.” Dana said, moving through the motions of teasing and assuring Robby that he wasn’t the worst person in the world.
“Somewhat?” Robby crossed his arms.
“You’re just…” Dana grabbed both of his shoulders as if to make an example out of him, “Touchy.”
--
TLDR; Dana calls Robby out on his bullshit, and Robby is forced to confront both Dennis' feelings and his own. (Tags to be added!)

Summary
The elevator lurches once, then stalls. The emergency light flickers weakly, casting Robby and Whitaker in a dim, red glow before plunging them into near-total darkness. The only sound is their breathing—Whitaker’s still too fast, Robby’s measured, deliberate.
"You knew this might happen?" Whitaker asks.
"Yeah," Robby says. "Big storms like this fuck with the hospital's generators. We were lucky we got this far."
"Lucky," Whitaker echoes, the word coming out too soft.Robby and Whitaker get stuck in an elevator during a storm, and three weeks of tension catches up to them.

Summary
He waits until the commercial break to ask what’s been bothering him since that afternoon. “Hey, Trin.”
“Make it snappy, bloodhound.” She slides down the couch, shoving her cold toes under his thigh.
“Do you think Doctor Robby’s been, like, singling me out?” Saying it out loud makes him cringe even though there’s no other way to phrase it and he really needs a second opinion.
“Oh, yeah.” She scoffs, offering him a bright grin. “You’re his best boy.”
“What?!” He – he refuses to admit that he squeaks but his voice does go up an octave, heat rushing to his cheeks.Whitaker goes through the motions and gets that old man in the end
