He was the attending working the night shift. Also I don't think he was going to commit suicide, he'd just had a rough shift and it was a hard day for everyone because it was the anniversary of Dr. Adams death. I don't think Robbie talked him down, so much as they joked about jumping and it was only half-joking because mental health is actually a huge deal in their profession and you do have to worry about that. But the guy was talking about one of his patients coming back later that day and giving Robbie the rundown on what was happening in the ER during the shift changeover.

Anyway, he's at home sleeping and having a life but will presumably show up to take over the night shift towards the end of the season.

Wasn't he the silver-haired fox who popped up again the last episode?

Nope, that's Nurse Jesse Van Horn. Neat actor (Ned Brower), and a real life nurse.

Sorry, but male nurses creep me out.

Nope. Just male nurses.

Anonymous wrote:Something I've been thinking about regarding Langdon:

I think on some level Robby knew what Santos was going to tell him. And I think he started to get an idea of it in the scene with Langdon when Langdon apologizes for yelling at Santos but then explains why he thinks Santos is not a team player and needs to be given a hard time. Something in his face and demeanor changed. He still spoke warmly to Langdon but it's like there was a cool undercurrent. I think he sensed that Langdon was going too far to try and discredit Santos, and sharing stuff like her giving Whitaker a mean nickname just sounded petty in a way that I think triggered a red flag for Robby.

And then when we went to speak to Santos, he was very careful about how he worded it from the start. He doesn't say "hey there have been some complaints about some behavior, let's talk about that." He leaves it very open ended so that she can fill that space with anything she wants. And when she indicates an issue with Langdon, he takes this big breath like a huge part of him knows what she's going to tell him, and he really doesn't want to hear it. Like she's going to confirm a suspicion he's had but dismissed in the past because he didn't want to believe it.

And then when he confronts Langdon by the lockers, he has no doubt. All he has is one report from an intern on her first day, but it's enough and he knows. He has to confirm it by looking in his locker, but he has no doubt during that scene even though he's clearly wishing/hoping it's not true.

TL;DR: I think Robby has been worried about this previously and didn't want to believe it or even entertain the thought, but then knew it was true pretty much as soon as Santos said she had an issue with Langdon, even before she'd told Robby what it was.

I think we are going to find out that Robby was giving him a second chance and one reason he is so angry is that he feels both betrayed and responsible.

That is absolutely ridiculous and you should feel ashamed.

Interesting theory! I wonder how that would go with him being the attending. He knew not to check the backpack but under it. You would think he could tell that he was on drugs though.

Interesting theory but I don’t think dr. Robbie would ever put patients in jeopardy like that. I do think he is angry at himself for ignoring signs. If Langdon went through the Covid era trauma with him, he’s probably realizing that everyone around him is also traumatized and not dealing with it.

His rage was real. I don't think he suspected or would have partially blamed himself for not being proactive about dealing with it. He's got great instincts though and realized the intern's evidence suggested she was correct. And was terrified at the prospect of patients being harmed on his watch as a result. Noah W was brilliant in conveying the full range of emotions in that scene. Should be his Emmy submission.

It’s an opinion. I feel more comfortable with female nurses. Male OBGYNs also creep me out. Deal with it.
