The people who actually analyze the show and take things into context. The people who watch the show because they want to and don’t act like they’re being made to watch it. The people who are critical but reasonable. The people who have fun with the show. The people who have felt very painfully seen throughout this last season.

The sun forming a halo on his head I’m going to go insane

Because in that final scene with Digby and the mannequin, what do we see him doing? He’s teaching, he’s talking about the history of fireworks and he looks excited as he does. He’s emulating Dennis, who’s been teaching the new med students.

There’s probably something more detailed and complex to say but my brains a little fried rn if anyone has anything to add please do!!

Edit because I had more ideas

Then she has 2 seizures within 15 hours. The condition she has had control over for the last few years breaks through on one of the worst days it could.

“People just think I’m thoughtful.” She’s having seizures and people don’t notice because these seizures fit perfectly into her demeanour as a doctor. Kind, thoughtful, considerate. She takes that little extra time with patients. It’s like how people might throw themselves into their work to distract themselves from their problems; their work ethic becomes a symptom of their condition.

Hasn’t she done enough? She’s pushed and pushed her entire life, gone above and beyond and it took one day for her to lose so much. She can’t drive, her independence is going to be gone for months. And just for a moment, it’s like she wants to be selfish. She wants to drive home so she doesn’t have to face what the next six months (at minimum) would be like for a little while longer.

Tangentially I think this is why he wants to do rural emergency medicine. Farming towns in general can be extremely far from hospitals, hospitals that usually have the bare minimum. If you have anything that needs long term treatment and can’t be fixed immediately, you’re driving 3-4 hours each way to visit the specialist.
