again in my rewatch of s1ā I think Princess saying "I've never seen Robby that mad." after the Langdon scene is very very notable and important. it reinforces that the "real" Robby, or at least the more stable one, is not normally a very angry person. we see Robby as a pretty angry person in both seasons. we have only seen him in crisis. we have not seen this man on an even slightly good day.
Princess offers another great window into the better moments of Robby in s2 as well, when he asked about how the patient board was doing and she immediately assumed he was asking about she was doing, because it's probably not out of the ordinary. we only see a window in robby's life, and it's a fucked up window directly into the worst, most mentally ill parts of him.
if anything, it's very impressive that we have good Robby moments at all. that we still have moments of his empathy shining through, that we still have moments where he is likeable. even when he is unquestionably drowning in deep crisis.
in the words of Dana Evans, "you're a good man, Robinavitch. don't let this place take that from you."
