And Mel realizing that Becca has romantic life while she never has had one, devoting all her time instead to being there for Becca and her studies. That’s got to hit hard. Becca gets to have lots of sex and isn’t really as dependent on Mel as Mel thought. Mel isn’t as needed by Becca as she thought but has been sacrificing thinking she was. No romance in her life. No time. And likely too much social anxiety. And professionally? That deposition hit her self confidence hard. Oof. ---

> [@SwissMan](#): > > 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. The nurse Donnie held his shit together better than most in the first season. This season as a newly minted dad and Nurse Practitioner, he looks like his head is about to explode. I’m really rooting for the student nurse, Emma. She seems to be the most emotionally secure of the lot, despite being exposed to all sorts of horrific shit for the first time. ---

Donnie did bother me when he was doing the intake for the deaf patient and kept looking at the sign language interpreter rather than the patient. ---

Thanks. There’s just something Pythonesque about two guilty-looking men holding a severed leg. ---

The mental picture that the _word_ degloving suggests does not help. ---

Anything to do with blood doesn’t bother me as much as a limb suddenly getting an extra joint and pointing in the wrong direction. Not even amputations bother me as much. And that’s from real world experience. Santos as a character annoys me so much that I find it jarring when I see Isa Briones in interviews getting along with the other actors. That’s a testament to how well she plays it. I certainly didn’t have that reaction to her in _Picard._ ---

Here’s my my crazy based on absolutely nothing but gut feeling prediction about how the season will end: Langdon will die doing something heroic and save many lives and Robbie will have to live with the regret that he never forgave him. The final shot is Langdon’s plaque on the wall. ---

The final shot is Langdon’s plaque on the wall. I really hope not. The show is grounded in reality. Of course it’s a hyper reality based on the worst shift of the year but it still has realism at its base. That sounds like a _Grey’s Anatomy_ plot. ---

How fast can they make that plaque? The season ends at the end of the shift. I think they have already logged their staff medical emergency\* and their relative of staff medical emergency for the season. \*Twice if you count Joy’s blood exposure incident. ---

Maybe they all have pre-made plaques, just in case? OK, maybe season three opens with a close-up of Langdon’s plaque. I just think that the constant foreshadowing of something happening to Robbie is a bit of misdirection. ---

> [@Stephe96](#): > > OK, maybe season three opens with a close-up of Langdon’s plaque. I just think that the constant foreshadowing of something happening to Robbie is a bit of misdirection. I think the foreshadowing is setting up a shouting match between Robbie and Langdon, in which the latter ends up shouting, “You’re just as messed up as me, but at least I’m trying to get better!”, or something like that, which makes Robbie realize that he needs help, and the two men make up. That’s more this show’s speed. ---

Good guess. Robbie is intolerant of underlings who exhibit his own vulnerabilities. We have already seen the hypocrisy of Robbie when he chastised Mohan for her panic attack. I wish Whitaker had been in that scene knowing about Robbie’s break down the previous season. ---

> [@Alessan](#): > > There’s just something Pythonesque about two guilty-looking men holding a severed leg. I don’t know anything about best practices in hospitals, but I would think, _“Don’t show injured, panicked people who are in shock their disembodied limbs”_ would be something that’s taught early on in med school. Like in the first week or two. 🙂 ---

My prediction is that Robby’s friend Duke will suffer a catastrophic motorcycle injury, assuming he also does not wear a helmet, which will snap Robby into a realization about his own mortality. They can’t kill Robby off, but they can certainly have him learn an important lesson. Anyone who departs for a motorcycle trip right after working a 12 hour shift is an idiot. ---

We already had a motorcycle head-injury death this season in episode 3, so I don’t see the payoff in a second one, even if it was Duke. In any case, Duke is probably going to be under observation for a few hours with whatever he’s got going on, so he’s unlikely to be out and about before the end of this season. ---

They can’t kill Robby off, but they can certainly have him learn an important lesson. Anyone who departs for a motorcycle trip right after working a 12 hour shift is an idiot. It looks to me that they have already set up the upcoming cancer diagnosis with Duke. I don’t feel like they are going to do anything overly dramatic with Robby. He’s going to get more and more frustrated and leave with it looking like he won’t return. Season 3 will open with that cliffhanger resolved. My less likely prediction is al-Hashimi’s issue that has been foreshadowed will flair up and she will not be able to take over and Robby decides to stay while his sanity erodes. ---

> [@Elmer\_J.Fudd](#): > > Robbie is intolerant of underlings who exhibit his own vulnerabilities. We have already seen the hypocrisy of Robbie when he chastised Mohan for her panic attack. To be fair. No more intolerant of her panic attack than he was of his own, and he both kept it together through more than mommy issues and did it as privately as possible. But 100% agreed that his jerkdom comes from its being a mirror.
