Okay, that makes their relationship sound way softer than it actually is, but here me out for a second. Because the thing about Andrew is, he cares about people. It might actually be the only thing he cares about, because almost every decision he makes seems to be grounded in his relationships to others.

Sadly Andrew has never experienced what it looks like to be cared for in a healthy way, has no way of knowing what to do with all the care he feels. Add a bunch of horrific trauma to that, and you get a way of handling relationship that's... unconventional, at least.

And Andrew is smart. Andrew knows that he's messed up in some way. Hell, his own brother resents him for something that Andrew did purely to help Aaron, and even Nicky, despite trying so hard to make them a family, can't fully hide that he is afraid of Andrew. It's only logical to conclude that Andrew is the problem, that he simply can't form relationships with people where all of him is wanted or accepted.

But then comes Kevin fucking Day.

The thing about Kevin is, he doesn't just need somebody like Andrew - Aaron needed Andrew, being needed isn't enough to save a relationship. But Kevin wants someone like Andrew.

Kevin hasn't been raised to be his own person. He's always been part of a pair, abusive as that situation was, and he's probably aware that if he wants even a chance of staying away from Riko long-term he needs someone to fill that void. Ideally someone willing to knock Kevin out if it stops him from running back to Riko in a weak moment. And who fits that description better than the man who locked his own brother in a bathroom for a week so he'd get clean?

I can only assume that whatever Kevin told Andrew during their famous walk must have been enough for Andrew to realize that Kevin was fully prepared to take on all of Andrew - every mean, violent, possessive, controlling part - if it just meant Kevin could continue to keep playing Exy and not be forced back to Riko.

Like, Andrew is such a natural carer. That is even more obvious because he hasn't really any experience of what 'caring for somebody in a normal and healthy way' looks like. Instead he's experienced cruelty and violence. So that's how he tries to care for people. But he's also driving them around, getting their drinks for them, tenderly checking Kevins injuries... all while still convinced that the only way for him to survive is by playing the 'monster'.

...hey....

Noticed you're kinda suicidal...

....maybe stop that????

Like, she is obviously a very competent doctor and leader. She has figured out how to work under extreme circumstances (doctors with out borders, the maternity hospital, etc.) and she does so by developing and optimizing systems. So, when she's asked to fill in as attending for three months, this is how she wants to do it.

She tries to contact the man currently in charge to start planning the transition and gets no response. She comes in early. He isn't there. When he finally comes in, he is rude, dismissive, openly disrespectful towards her while being totally checked out himself. Aside from that he plays clear favorites with his residents, who all seem to have overly personal relationships with him. Not close, necessary, just personal.

Essentially the whole place has shaped itself around one emotionally unstable person that is about to leave by the end of the shift, and he won't even work with Al-Hashimi to make the transition easier.

Win:

Al-Hashimi - saved a childs life, called out Garcia and Robby, and remained professional between Langdon and Santos. What can't she do?

Becca King - She's having lots of sex. Good for her!

Langdon - Good job respecting HIPPA!

Kwan - "Get in the fucking chair", she's so real for that

Dennis - somehow doing more teaching than Robby now (keeping Ogilvie calm when working on the leg)

Honorable mentions: Emma - for finding the kid, McKay - for being one of the last people not having a break-down, Dana - for not letting Langdon make stupid decitions, Abbot - for being the one attending Samira would ask for a reccomendation

Worry:

Robby - No explanation needed

Santos - No explanation needed

Mohan - No explanation needed

Mel - She has to unlearn 28 years of viewing herself primarily as Beccas caretaker after being called incompetend in her deposition

Whitaker - Imagine you're gay, don't know boundaries and are slowly realizing that you'll have to plan an internvention for your suicidal boss

Honorable mentions: Javadi - Mommy-issues 2.0; Abbot - about to come in with two hours of sleep, Samira about to quit, Robby about to kill himself and whatever other crisis we'll be having by then; almost everybody working in the ER bc aside from McKay and Joy there's nobody doing too hot; the patienst about to be treated at this place

WTF:

Robby - Hey, buddy. How about you don't make fun of your student for having a panic-attack???

Santos - Girl, I love you, and I'll defend your right to hate on Langdon untill the end of time. But whe ya'll are working together you need to keep it professional, you're just making yourself look bad :(

Garcia - Toxic lesbian situationship or not, don't tell the girl with trauma around not being belived to shut up about her feelings

Mel - I'm honestly so happy to have her on this list. I love her. She's this fandoms sweetheart and she's getting mad bc Langdon won't violate HIPPA for her. We're about to see her get mad.

Mohan - Babes, maybe you should respond to your moms calls, it might actually be serious???
