it occurred to me that santos may not have actually had a best friend since her friend committed suicide when they were teenagers and that might be part of why she pushes dennis away. she's afraid of losing him so she keeps him at arms length, but they live together and santos pays his bills for 10 months and keeps buying avocados even though she knows he eats them and they watch tv together on their days off. he is indisputably her best friend, but she can't make herself say it.

Holding a human heart in your hands while looking your mom dead in the eye. Filming ICE & running off to post on your tiktok with thousands of followers so people see them arresting a fucking ER nurse. Comforting a family through the death of a loved one. fuck yeah javadi belongs in the ER

hey did anyone else tear up when the family psych counselor explained that her kid’s prospects radically declined with her diagnosis but that there’s love and laughter in their home. and did anyone else sob and bawl on the ground when javadi’s face had a look that said i do everything my parents want and more and there’s not love and laughter like that in our home. or perhaps i don’t trust that my parents would talk so fondly about me if we were ever in this position. or like was that just me.

javadi's growth from s1 to s2 is truly a pleasure to watch because she's gone from someone with good intentions but bad approach (scaring off the unhoused mom) to going the extra mile and connecting with her patients in a way they can easily accept (finding jada to talk about her brother). she truly has graduated summa cum laude from the cassie mckay school of empathy and it's so beautiful

Robby ran in there, worried for his doctor. A heart attack is serious and he cares for his people. He looked frantically at the paperwork, snatched it from her, saw no abnormalities and raced to check her out with a stethoscope himself not trusting anything but his own senses. Then he recognized the signs. A panic attack. And he immediately saw himself in her. He saw how he broke ten months prior and never really pulled himself together. And instead of reacting out of compassion he reacted the same way he reacted to himself. Out of hatred. He treated Samira Mohan, at a very vulnerable moment, the same way he treats himself every day because in that moment she was too similar to himself. And he hates himself enough to contemplate leaving and never returning

knowing garcia and santos have had sex means that garcia 100% has seen trinity’s scars. so. so. that therapist comment is rubbing me the wrong way at such a visceral level actually

It has occurred to me that perhaps this is not the first man in Trinity Santos’ life that got the opportunity to waltz back into it with minimal to zero consequence despite the troubling and severe nature of the crime that he committed while everyone around her makes excuses for him and minimizes the damage he caused……..

robby can lash out in self-hatred and be a misogynist at the same time. robby can be written to be purposefully hypocritical and incidentally misogynistic at the same time. robby can be suffering from ptsd and be a misogynist at the same time. “actually the point is he’s lashing out because he sees himself in samira and hates it” correct. AND he’s being misogynistic while he’s at it
