Summary
Carter needs them not to be understaffed on a day overflowing with minor cases, ones he's perfectly qualified to manage. He needs half the population of Chicago to go home and deal with it. He needs to suck it up and cope. He needs—
He just needs a second to sit.

Summary
You turn around, and Carter is on his knees. Cheeks flushed a florid pink, hands sweaty and clasped in front of him like the moment before Sunday prayer, looking at you like a lamb begging off its slaughter.
Carter miscalculates and acts before he thinks, or, alternatively, ends up exactly where he can't admit he wants to be.

Toby exhales slowly. “Josh,” he says, so deliberate. “Was this your first time with a man?”
“Why do you care?” His words are salted with frustration. “Not like it mattered half an hour ago.”

Summary
Carter doesn't quite know what compels him to do what he does. Perhaps it's some misguided sense of heroism, his lifelong inability to just let things be when there's something- anything- he can do about it. Perhaps it's reckless stupidity brought on by yet another shift of doing anything but saving lives.
Whatever it is, he leans into it fully, and slips into the freezing depths.
OR
The one where Carter almost drowns.

Summary
Plenty of people had looked down on Eggsy throughout his life. He had gotten fairly used to it. Didn't mean it was fair, but he knew how these things worked. What really sucked was that the new Arthur was worse than the old one.
“Eggsy grimaced. He didn’t know how to explain to Harry – who seemed like he hadn’t been discriminated against a day in his life – that the new Arthur kept giving him what amounted to suicide missions, and that he was currently bleeding out in a warehouse because of the deliberately bad intel she had given him.”
Also featuring: Dean is harder to get rid of than Eggsy thought, his mum is going off the deep end, there are way too many nefarious plots in play, and Eggsy is really beginning to wish that Harry would stop holding his hand and kiss him instead.

Summary
He is a good surgeon. And yet Keaton will not renew his pediatric fellowship.
He is an effective and fair teacher—even Carter backs him up on this to Anspaugh, and if anyone has reason to offer Benton up on a silver platter, it’s Carter. And yet Gant jumped.
He is a good surgeon. And yet he called time of death.
