I think it was the birth -- my own childbirth experience was not as traumatic as that but it still brought back difficult memories. I think that combined with the impending sense of doom with Langdon gone and then Robbie sending Collins home as well.

That scene with Robbie and Collins, whew. So... was she telling him that she got pregnant while they were dating and had an abortion? That's what that meant, right? I am really heartbroken for Collins and don't want her to give up.

Looks like Dr. Abbot (the night shift attending, the one from the roof in the first episode) is back next week to help with the GSWs. The actor is Shawn Hatosy, who has been working consistently in TV forever and been in everything, for a couple episodes. He's a real HITG (hey! it's that guy) in the best possible way. He's been in four different iterations of Law & Order! I really liked his chemistry with Noah Wylie in that quick scene from the first episode and am looking forward to seeing them work together.

I didn't get that at all.

I did - and yes, I do think that's what she was telling him

Dr Javadi yelling, “Read the f*$king room, Mom,” had me laughing but at the same….she’s just not professional. Always tense and freaking out when her mom is nearby - I wouldn’t want her as my dr. She seems incompetent at those times. I don’t like seeing a doctor get so rattled.

It just dawned on me that Dr. Collins wasn’t on this episode at all - and I didn’t miss her! I still think she’s one of the weakest links. Her chemistry just isn’t there with the other doctors.

Except Javadi and came into her own by MacGuyvering those fixes for the missing tubes. I think this was the ep where we see that she is going to make it as a doctor - that they all are.

I don't think that Jake is going to die. This show is dark but I don't think it's that dark.

I also don't think Jake will die. If he did, that would mean Robbie lost both his mentor/father figure and a kid he thought of as his son, in the ED while treating them during high stress, trauma inducing catastrophes (Covid and a mass shooting).

It's unrealistic that someone who went through that would return to the ED to work, and frankly I don't want to watch it.

Whereas if Robbie saves Jake's life (or the team does), it could reinvigorate his commitment to emergency medicine and help him work through his PTSD from Covid and Dr. Adamson's death. It drives his story in a meaningful way into season 2 instead of the audience just having to watch this very likeable character suffer tragedy upon tragedy.

My guess (hope?) is that Langdon saves him, making Robby's decision about what to do with Langdon even harder.

Oooh that would be interesting…but do you think Robby is going to allow Langdon to work on his son?!

Completely agree on Dr. Collins.

It's a writing problem. The most interesting stuff with her character is personal -- the miscarriage thing. That leaves her outside of the ensemble where the drama is always best when it is sparking between and amongst the characters. Even when Robby is worried about "his" kid which is a personal thing, there is a lot of back and forth with the charge nurse trying to get ahold of him, and the problem is related to the drama of what is going on in the episode.

I didn’t think the miscarriage or her confession to Robby about being pregnant before was interesting. They don’t feel believable as a former couple and lack chemistry.

Disagree - I clocked them as a former couple from the first episode

I hope NOT, because that is some overly-dramatic, novela ish. I get why they let Langdon stay during the mass casualty event, and then he needs to go to rehab and take his lumps. No feel-good nonsense, plzkthx. Keep it realistic.

Seems like a big liability for Robbie and the hospital more broadly if they let a known drug addict treat patients, no matter how serious the situation. I think their overall triage model seems realistic - but I don't think you can let a doctor you know is abusing drugs and is likely high come in and work.

There was so much tension, and so much connection, it was extremely obvious. The scene in the back of the ambulance makes it really clear that however they left things there is still a very strong connection there. I also reject the idea that she’s underwritten. She’s a professional, and we see that she compartmentalizes her personal distress while maintaining her empathy and composure with patients. She’s tactile, connected and warm. We have seen her in two very emotional, physical scenes connecting with Dana and Robby, and we’ve seen her in rage and loss miscarrying. And she goes back to the ER because she is also a very tough woman and an excellent doctor.

I'm not sure. It's definitely a liability, but at the same time they're in unique circumstances and Langdon wasn't fired because he messed up in some kind of patient impacting way. Like he said to Robbie when Robbie discovered the drugs, "Could I do what I do so well if I were a drug addict?" And Robbie says, "Evidently so!" He didn't let someone bleed out or show up visibly high. He definitely needs to be put on probation and go to rehab, but from Robbies perspective during a mass casualty event I can see him thinking they need all hands on deck and what's the difference between today when they found out about the drugs and the past idk two years or whatever Langdon was in the ER functioning competently?

And yet nobody missed her in the latest episode.

Me too. Liked that he was doing everything right. Robby specifically mentioned everyone stay hydrated, and he's sippin his iced coffee. He's triaging people super-fast. It's nice to watch laid-back yet competent people.

I'm worried about Robby. He's still traumatized by losing his mentor four years earlier through no fault of his own. How is he going to feel if he feels responsible for many lives lost?

I loved how Santos sniffed out that reporter or clout chaser and threw his phone in the bloody bucket. She also sniffed out Langdon and came up with a solution to the guy who was pervy with his daughter. She has really good instincts about people. But when Robby was explaining what was about to happen, she looked so young and scared, which gave her character more depth.

Speaking of young, Javadi makes me laugh. She is advanced in book smarts, but she's still just a 20 year old in emotional intelligence.

Mel might be my favorite character. She was so earnest and tender giving blood to save her patient's life.

McKay's ex also cracks me up (I remember him from Imposters). I liked when he was on propofol and said, "I feeeeeeel sad . . ." Propofol is some funny truth serum. I'm glad that when I had a fracture reduced in the ER, thankfully all I admitted to was really loving my kids' Title 1 public schools, lol. And you could see him admiring her when he stumbled through looking for his son.

I want Dana to come live in my house and make everything right in the world. I also love the nurses who speak Tagalog to each other (I think . . . I don't speak it, but I heard one of them mention it).

I'm totally obsessed with this show. I got my friend hooked too . . . we're going to watch the finale together.
