> [@Stephe96](#): > > Anyone else starting think Dr. Robby is a goner by the end of the season? He’s acting like he doesn’t expect to be back. I know absolutely nothing about future episodes (if there are any leaked spoilers I haven’t seen them). My guess is whether he comes back or not will be a cliff hanger at the end of the season. But I doubt Noah Wiley will be leaving the show. ---

Given that Noah Wyle is the lead actor and character and is an executive producer, I don’t see him leaving the show. ---

He’s seen the brain dead motorcyclists who didn’t wear a helmet and he has seen the mangled bodies of the survivors who did. The appeal of the former is understandable. ---

Robby joked about not coming back when he told Whitaker to move into his place, Abbott warned about things getting “too dark” during his roadtrip, and Robby explained that sometimes death is the “desirable outcome” in certain situations, aka Chekov’s morphine shot. Foreshadowing? Or am I reading too much into things? ---

I am sure we are intended to put those into a cohesive narrative of passive suicidality … and also sure that Dr Robby will live for as many seasons the show gets. ---

I have a problem watching amputation scenes, particularly gory explosion-related ones, so I will be happy if no more are shown this season. ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > The other thing is that the show demonstrates that all of the patients deserve compassion. Louie Cloverfield (the patient undergoing paracentesis due to late-stage liver failure), for example, was alcoholic because he fell apart after his pregnant wife died in a car accident. They didn’t mention it (or I missed it) but was it esophageal varices that caused all the bleeding? Gloria Vanderbilt’s father died of this, and the description of his death in her biography scarred me for life. ---

I mean, something could still befall Duke. Seems kind of weird to introduce him as a character and not really use him for anything plot-wise. ---

They done a bunch of dead things this season. He has a lung mass causing that phrenic nerve thing. He declines to get it further evaluated explicitly choosing to let himself die instead. Echoing Robby’s passive aggressive suicidality. Great. If so your version was better. ---

Duke said something like, “Only an idiot would start an all-night ride after a twelve hour shift.” That was exactly what I was thinking. ---

There’s a developing through line in this season about people reaching their breaking points. Mohan had a straight up anxiety attack in this episode and the previews for next week implied that Mel might be about to crash out due to the revelations about Becca. Add in Robby (who acted like a complete jerk to Mohan and gave an incredibly half-hearted apology), Javadi (who needs to have another “read the fucking room!” moment with her helicopter mom) and Santos (who is having a terrible, awful, no-good very bad day all around). These people all need to get a vacation. I sincerely hope Adam is another patient at Becca’s facility and not a staff member. That would open up a whole can of worms. Garcia is starting to get on my nerves. The Pitt plays off the idea that all surgeons basically think they are god (Park the Shark certainly does), but she’s just getting outright rude. Javadi didn’t deserve the nepo baby discourse last week; I damn near applauded when Dr. Al-Hashimi clapped back at Garcia’s criticism of the slice trake that saved the young boy’s life. ---

I cringed at the depiction of the two patients from the water slide collapse, particularly the one patient with the leg amputation. (At one point, she is lying on the gurney and looks over at Whittaker and Ogilvie cleaning her leg, at which point she freaks out. Which is understandable.) ---

> [@SwissMan](#): > > I sincerely hope Adam is another patient at Becca’s facility and not a staff member. That would open up a whole can of worms. Nah, I think the story is going in the direction of “Becca is more of an independent adult than Mel realizes”. Remember when she first came in, Mel was explaining everything to her and Becca had to tell her to back off.
