My 44 Thoughts
- It’s the yelling guy from the end of the last episode! He’s still yelling! Did he have a breakdown while studying for the bar? Likely thing to happen!
- Well, at least the… priapism guy is okay now. As are the fighting cousins whose whole deal I never entirely figured out.
- Damn, they let an ASL patient wait this long without an interpreter. “Use the system. It’s what it’s there for.” I mean…sort of?
- Not to get all anti‑capitalist, but I feel like the system is ultimately there to exploit its own failures for money.
- I want this potential child abuse case to resolve favorably, and I feel like it’s not going to 🙁 In retrospect, I wish I wasn’t drinking a smoothie during that up‑close blood shot.
- Mmm, cool, that’s…an exposed brain. That’s right, Robby! Don’t ride your dumb little motorcycle anymore!
- Garcia’s here!!! Aw, I love this sweet Walmart greeter who’s trying to Walmart‑greet all the patients.
- I want a more interesting storyline for McKay this season. Okay, learning from my past mistakes and putting down my smoothie for this fluid‑draining scene with Louie.
- “Sharing meds which haven’t been prescribed to you is actually a real big no‑no.” OH REALLY, LANGDON? Is the antagonistic vibe between Robby and Al‑Hashimi turning………..sexy?
- Ah, one of my Russian countrywomen! Emma, girl, you don’t know what a samovar is? Get thee to a Russian restaurant for some borscht and pelmeni, stat!
- Obsessed with this Russian Jewish queen interrogating Robby about his single status. And MacGuyvering her own burn with honey? That’s my сестра!
- Wow, this Tree of Life reference is making me unexpectedly emotional.
- Oh shit, Kylie, the potential abuse victim’s dad, is (finally) here. Hate this dad, even if he’s not an abuser.
- Oh my God, this kid is so cute. Hey, I know what “idiopathic” means! Thanks to Scrubs!
- Why is this patient’s wife allowed to be in the room while they work on him? Wow, this pill grab bag goes crazy.
- Ugh, I love Mel. Watching a bead be sucked out of this child’s nose is weirdly satisfying.
- On another note: how do you stop a child from shoving beads up their nose? I mean, I can handle it in a babysitting capacity, but if you’re a parent, there are 24 hours in a day when your child could be huffing beads.
- I don’t like those odds. Aw, daddy convention! Obsessed with Al‑Hashimi using a negative tox screen to shut down this racist creep security guard.
- Okay, this scene with Perlah where the Tree of Life survivor thanks her for the work the Muslim community of Pittsburgh did to help after the shootings is really nice.
- Girl (Robby), stop threatening to go on sabbatical and just go on sabbatical! “You’re middle‑aged man. Don’t be stupid.” Yana is legitimately my QUEEN.
- “50-ish‑year‑old man on a motorcycle. Very sad.” Get him again! Oh God, Code Black at Westbridge. Things are about to get craaaaaaaaazy!
