Summary
“Work relaxes me, Mohan,” Abbot says, not quite chiding, his tone a shade warmer. He leans his hip against her workstation, ducking his head until she looks at him. “If I’m not at work, I’m trying to find a reason to come back to work. Let me read your article. I’ll be nice to you about it, not just because someone should, but because I can tell you without even reading it that it’s good.”
“You cannot possibly know that,” Samira blurts out.
He looks at her with an expression that’s stuck halfway between inquisitive and amused; the left side of his mouth threatens a smile. “Sure I can. I know you.”

Abbot and Mohan flirt in the Google Doc comments of her unpublished article. Abbot takes it upon himself to instruct Mohan on how to accept praise.

Summary
It’s comical. Or, it would be comical if it wasn’t happening to him. Six months after Samira Mohan badged out of her final shift at the Pitt, it has become kind of, sort of comical that she will respond to everyone’s text messages and emails but Jack's own.
Or, Samira Mohan has a history of reading relationships wrong.

Summary
“For as long as you’re inside, you’re not a doctor, you’re not a resident. You’re just Samira. You’re just someone who’s had a bad day,” Tentatively, his hand landed on the armrest in between them, inches away from hers. “Just someone who needs taking care of,” he leaned in and dropped his voice to a whisper, “Let me take care of you."
Jack finds Samira right after S2E13 and takes care of her the best he can. They both desperately need it.
