I know that as Ive been reminded several times, Im not even a doctor.
Also, I dont think Ive seen him drink much water.
Again, not a doctor, but I am concerned about his hydration levels.
Everywhere Robby turns theres something to remind him of losing Dr. Adamson.
At the one oclock hour, hes really triggered by a STEMI patient being placed on an ECMO machine.
If anyone gets to walk around calling him Sad Boy, its Dana.
And also us because its accurate and because theyre fictional characters who will never know.
Samira wants to order a heavy metals test but doesnt think Robby will go for it.
But Heather spots whats going on and encourages Samira to go with her gut.
Listening, really listening, to her patients is Samiras superpower, Heather tells her.
She promises to back her up when it comes to Robby.
Deep down you know Robby knows shes right, too.
It seems impossible not to, given the high emotional stakes of this job.
Some people are just better at compartmentalizing.
Case in point, actually, is Heather.
I knew those stomach pains were pointing us toward something awful!
Aside from taking Samira under her wing and telling her … to get a grip, Heather spends much of the hour figuring out the teen pregnancy situation.
Finally, she agrees to let her daughter start the mifepristone.
Its not long after Kristi is discharged that Heather buckles in pain.
Tracy Ifeachors performance here is so powerful.
All of it is right there in her face.
In the meantime, there is yet another doctor letting that emotional baggage show midday here: Trinity Santos.
It was clear Trinity was harboring some deep-seated pain, but I did not see this coming!
Susan is upset: Its all her fault, she tells Trinity.
Like I said, horror show.
Susan has also seen him giving her daughter some uncomfortable massages.
In fact, what they legally have to do is report Susan for poisoning her husband.
It is beyond infuriating.
And shes right that this could mean Susan could be arrested, leaving Alana alone with her father.
Unfortunately, Trinity goes about trying to make it right in all the wrong ways.
Once Susan hears that she could be arrested, shes angry and feels betrayed by Trinity.
Its all a mess.
Theres really only one thing Trinity feels like she can still do.
She knows hes a child molester.
Dont fuck with me, and dont fuck with your daughter, she tells him.
The man, unable to speak or move, looks terrified.
Admittedly, Im lukewarm on Trinity as a character, but it is a barn burner of a moment.
And anyway, what was Robby just hemming and hawing about to Heather?
That sometimes you better have a little flexibility here when the situation calls for it?
If any situation calls for it, it might be this one.
Discharge Papers
Theres some really dark shit going on here, but one bright spot?
This happens with the Bradleys here.
Use those precious minutes on another storyline or something.
We do not have the time, people!!
This hour, that fear is for Mel King.
Shes so excited when Langdon tells her that shes making a great first impression.
just dont hurt her!
Doug is a ticking time bomb …on several levels, probably.
