Frank Langdon is in rehab. Mel King visits.

Or the one where Mel saves Frank Langdon’s dog, drinks several of his juice boxes, and steals his hoodie over the course of 60 days. Not in that order.

It was a miracle that Mel had lasted this long.

Summary
It sucked to acknowledge what he'd done to anyone, obviously, but for some reason it always felt the worst in front of Mel, because she'd never once shown him even a hint of judgment for it. He could list every shitty fucking thing he did, all the drugs he stole, the lies he told, all of it, and Mel would just sit there and nod and tell him Okay, well, thank you for being honest with me.
It wasn't that he didn't want her to do that. It was that he craved it so badly he couldn't stand it, needed her acceptance with an intensity he didn't know how to handle.

Summary
“My new young girlfriend?” he asks, incredulous. He hadn’t even had a one night stand yet. And whoever he falls in bed with would surely rather not be a new young girlfriend of a divorced addict with kids and a dog that still occasionally gnaws on his shoes.
“The one you were Costco shopping with. No?”
And that almost makes him laugh.
“That’s Mel,” he says, disbelieving. “Dr. King. We work together. You don’t–” the words dissolve before he can get them out or even process what he was going to say.

Summary
Abby calls it on Monday morning, two weeks after Frank gets home from the inpatient rehab facility—which itself was a month-long stint and one of the many conditions of his continuing employment at The Pitt. Definitely the most galling one.

Summary
The car pooling, she thought, represented this blurring of boundaries: not quite work but not quite personal life, either. If somebody asked her if she ever saw Langdon outside of the hospital, what should she say?
Mel and Langdon car pool to work.

Summary
“Sit down,” said Bobby in a voice that left no room for discussion.
Dean sat.
“We’re gonna talk about the angel,” said Bobby.
Dean stood up.
“Sit,” Bobby said.Bobby Singer grew up a skeptic in a broken, bloodstained home, and cynicism served him fine till the day an angel of the Lord fished the closest thing he had to a son out of Hell.

Summary
Death, as any salesman will tell you, is the process by which the existential dust that all people and animals and plants and some lakes are made out of finally ceases the energetic process of expending itself. Death is when the machinery of being gives up the ghost, so to speak. Death is not the primal dumpster of slavery (to quote Patricia Williams) nor the spectral something-ness of the disappeared (to paraphrase Avery Gordon).
Death is a yielding love letter to the stars. Put another way: Death is un-American.

Summary
“You pathetic little worm,” Michael snarls, and Adam hopes he looks defiant, jaw tightly clenched as he stares back at the being who was the entire reason he was in this mess. “You presume to know me? Me? You don’t. You’re nothing."
And the archangel is smug, for all of a moment, before Adam leans forward—as much as he can—and tries to keep his voice from trembling as he spits out his retort.
"Yeah? Well, down here, so are you.”
Or—a human, an archangel, and the story of a thousand years in the Cage.
They only have each other, don't they? Might as well make the best of it.

Summary
Stevie Nicks, his mom had once told him with a wink, may not be a witch in the conventional sense, but she certainly knew her way around a different kind of enchantment. He waited for Alicia to make some dry comment about the danger of letting gay guys on the AUX chord. But of course, she slept right through it, as half-reanimated souls bundled into makeshift twig dolls tended to do.

Summary
Jack is a blank slate, wet clay, impressionable and unwritten, and he looks up to and relies on each of them so totally. It's a horrifyingly huge responsibility; Dean has no idea how people choose to do this.
