Summary
Dennis takes a deep breath, then finally picks up the call. “Hey, ma.”
“Hi, duck.” His mother’s voice washes over him and he feels an embarrassing heat rushing up the back of his eyeballs. He hasn’t heard her voice in months. Hadn’t realised how badly he had missed it. Dennis has to swallow around a lump in his throat before he can speak.
“Hi. I- is something wrong?”
“No - well,” she trails off, then goes on, hesitant. “Susan Bradshaw told me there was a shooting in Pittsburgh?”
Or:
In which Dennis struggles with family, Robby struggles with himself and they both struggle to find balance.Series

Summary
She’s got that pitying expression that always puts Eddie’s hackles up, the widows-and-orphans face, and she’s looking at Buck and Chris as Chris whoops his way down the slide and Buck watches carefully as he catches himself at the bottom. “He must miss his sister very much,” she says. “They look so much alike.”
In which someone makes a totally logical, if heteronormative, assumption and Eddie loses his damn mind about it.

Summary
But of course her plan is shattered immediately when she collides with someone as they round the corner she didn’t bother to check; Santos hopes her muttered apology is intelligible, let alone sincere-sounding, and stumbles a little over her own feet as she tries to get around—
“Dr. Santos?”
She forces herself to look up for a split second and sees Garcia eyeing her curiously, and even once her attention returns to the floor, Santos watches Garcia’s sneaker take a small step closer.
“Uh-mm—sorry, I—”
“Trinity.”

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.
