1: meaningful McVadi interaction (with maybe some dialogue? Please?)

2: us to figure out why the girls are fighting (Dana and McKay, why have you made me a child of divorce)

In chronological order:

- the callback of Perlah getting Princess back about covering for Dana… there have been so many parallels to last season and it’s giving me so much joy

- Emma my poor empathic girl just trying her best.

- Alana. I’m sorry baby

- PARKER ELLIS PLS COME HOME THE KIDS MISS YOU I CANT WAIT FOR HER SHIFT TO START AT 1:30 she’s so fineeee like hello?!?

- This poor deaf woman… Harlow should legally be allowed to punch someone in the face for every time someone leaves the room without treating her

- Dr. Al, baby, what is wrong girl… (also her being a Lululemon and an Oura Ring girl makes so much sense to me)

- Dana I would literally cry if you spoke to me that softly on the worst day of my life oh my god.

- Idk why but Alana stepping out of a swimsuit killed me

- And then the cut to Emma’s face? Sweet baby deer has seen so much on her first day

- DR ABBOTT WELCOME BACK BABY two night shift icons coming in early? I love

- Another parallel of Whitaker showing the new med students everything he learned on the first day… pls… the protein bar when they ask about lunch… I can’t with this man.

- “I don’t like the curve…” “I didn’t know you were so picky” ohhhh rabbott ok

- Garcia with another funny one liner, my favourite mean lesbian

- Baran and Jack? I was expecting them to hate each other instantly but I’m feeling the buzz (the eye contact over the patient hello?)

- YES OWN HIS ASS JOY END THAT TALL WHITE BOY

- “Not my type, bud” JOY YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS TO ME

- “SWAT? Really?” “I suck at golf.” Jack Abbott why are you the funniest boomer

- Javadi’s dad oh my god. The complete character foil to her mother. I’m so happy he’s the iconic girl dad that Victoria deserves. “You’ll do what’s right. You always do. I’m proud of you.” And then the handshake????? Shut upppppppp

- The Florence Nightingale conversation was such a cute moment in such a horrific case

- Robby talking to Langdon… like buddy YOU are the problem right now, not your resident

- Mel picking up Langdon’s slack after Robby wrecks his confidence… she’s such a sweetie why do bad things ever happen to her

- “Hey. This will not define you. Okay?” Dana please I love you

- Alana looking to Dana for comfort and then Dana wanting to touch Alana in a comforting way but then pulling back because she had already taken the gloves off… something about that made me tear up

- Baran and Trinity no longer fighting thank god

- “This is some Jurassic Park shit.” “Is that your official surgical diagnosis?” Garcia and Robby beef will always be funny to me

- “Oh? Sorry?” MOHABBOTTTT omg

- “You were shot?” And the look on her face oh my god

- “Why do you do this?” “My therapist said I needed a hobby.” Stop it right now

- “I’ll pay for it.” Dr. Jack Abbott the only valid man ever

- “Our little secret” AND THE DRIVE BY DOUBLE TAKE FROM ROBBY HELLO?????

- THE DOUBLE TAKE FROM SANTOS TOO OMG

- “What is your problem?” “That would be really fucking nice.” “I’m starting to understand why you got left here. Santos that is a BABY

- Ok our Broadway baby with the lullaby and tucking in Baby Jane Dough, she really went to the Alex Karev school of doctoring

- Awe Langdon loves that Garcia is still beefing with him like nothing happened, it makes him feel normal

- Santos and Robby gossip sesh has been the biggest scene to make me see what y’all Hucklerobby shippers are seeing

- “Can’t you order my wife to go home?” Get the fuck out of here sir. Your wife is dying let her do it in her own way. I’m hating him more and more

- Harlow and her new interpreter thank god she has someone now

- Alana making excuses for her “friend” I’m sick for her

- Dana. You sweet angel baby

- “Let’s go find the good snacks.” Emma I love you

- Dana tearing up I never thought I’d see the day. Katherine Lanasa your second Emmy should arrive in 2-3 business days

- Oh. Trinity Santos in the bathroom scene. She really is just like me fr.

- Ohhhh Baran Robby was just starting to like you … oh no

- This is going to be such a shit show and I can’t wait. We’re going analog, baby
