ok that’s it’s bye!

thinking about mel and the drowning case and the way she’s so good with the little sister. thinking about her bringing her the bear and wondering where she learned that. if it was something she read about or saw on one of her rotations. or maybe if she knows about it because she had someone do that for her when she was younger and her mom was in the hospital. if maybe she was sitting in a waiting room somewhere with becca, trying to keep her occupied and regulated in a new and uncomfortable environment, and someone brought them a bear. and told them to tell the bear all the things they’d like to tell their mom. she never actually says how old she was when her mom passed, just that she had a malignant tumor of some kind, so it could’ve been two years ago or ten or fifteen. there’s no way of knowing. and the idea of that happening at a younger age is sooo sad but i think it aligns so well with mel being the primary caretaker for becca, and how familiar she already is with the strain that puts on someone. as if she’s already been doing this for a long time

in the least “I want to argue” way I find it realllyyy funny how people refuse to acknowledge that langdon was definitely santos on his first day of work.

there is no way you can tell me frank langdon, the guy who calls garcia edwina scissorhands, the guy who cherry picks his cases, the guy who said “dana can come back though can’t she?” after hearing she got punched in the face, the guy who guy who couldn’t sit still for a moment of silence despite probably having to do it on a regular basis, who isn’t that Great on his bedside manners, the guy who is extremely confident and maybe even cocky in his abilities…THAT guy wasn’t absolutely hated on his first day as an intern.

like let’s be honest. the main difference between santos and langdon is that langdon has seniority. he’s been there for like what 4 years? he knows the ed staff. they’ve accepted his assholery as apart of him and know when to humble/shame him. they’ve stopped gaf abt his sarcasm like ages ago because it’s just turned into banter now. they definitely do side eye him (especially for that Dana comment) and he is still regarded as somewhat of a jerk. but dude is great at what he does and has been there so long that it’s almost like it’s just a side effect of who he is lol.

they’re used to him now but trust on that first day? I just know they were annoyed asfk

he’s also extremely confident and does risky shit if it means he can save a patient. if you told me he did some risky procedure he had no business doing as an intern I would believe you.

But I guarantee you, give santos those 4 years and everyone would most likely regard her the same. a lot of people fail to understand that this is One day. Literally one day. She doesn’t know these people nor do they know her. She’s made a bad impression but I believe by the end of the rotations or something long the lines of that she’ll have made friends with Javadi, Whittaker and Mel. Or at least one of them lol. Under all the meanness and ambition santos is really empathetic and trying. they all just have to get to know each other and apologies should be in place but it’s not like any one of them hate each other. They’ll side eye her and call her a douche when she acts like one but that’s called friendship baby! oh and mark my words those nicknames will eventually turn from derogatory to affectionate trust (plz pitt writers)

i love heather collins so fucking much. she starts her day off at work with morning sickness and dana is the one person who knows she’s pregnant. she shows dana a stroller she’s been wanting for a while and uses the money she won from BETTING ON A STOLEN AMBULANCE!!! (objectively hilarious) to finally splurge and get it. she alludes to having miscarried before (“not until i pass twelve weeks. not this time.”) and it’s so obvious how hopeful she is and how badly she doesn’t want to do anything to jinx it (see: testicular torsion case and the way she opens up to the mom). and then we see her have a few small stomach cramps and she brushes them off so quick but. she knows. and we know. and amidst all of this she helps a teenage girl get the abortion she wants and needs because she’s a damn good doctor. and immediately afterwards goes to the bathroom and confirms that she is indeed miscarrying. and then the 6 year old girl comes in after drowning and they can’t save her and you can see how close she is to crumbling but she steels herself and carries on because there are patients that need her. and THENNN she has to work the case with the surrogate mom !!! and the delivery gets dicey and the baby’s apgar is only 3 and the mom starts hemorrhaging and her mask starts to slip and robby sees it and he knows and they make it their mission to ensure that this mother and child make it out in one piece. and they fucking pull it off. and then she finally lets herself really cry in the ambulance bay. and it’s just so heartbreaking and raw and real. i have so much love for heather collins she is such an incredible character and she deserves the world

HC that Trinity Santos is a GREAT COOK but she also stress cooks so she makes A LOT of food so one day she makes her lola's lumpia and brings maybe three gigantic trays of it to the Pitt and it is immediately gone in five minutes. We see various medical professionals scarfing down handfuls of lumpia. Robby has a special tupperware for days like this and immediately starts hoarding. Whitaker hasn't tried it before but one bite has him seeing God in a way his undergrad theology major hadn't. Langdon pretends it's meh but he's got several of them in his pocket.
