THE NIGHT SHIFT

I’m being very generous when I say I don’t think he means to be antagonistic, but Santos isn’t the only one in the wrong during that scene. “I’m happy to teach Dr. Santos”, that wasn’t genuine, that man is annoyed and I’d be very surprised if his thoughts weren’t “why are you making this more difficult for me?” He just hasn’t said it outright like he would have in season one because he knows he’s on thin ice.

I also think that people saying “he already suffered the consequences of his actions!” is wild. Him going to rehab isn’t a consequence, that’s just him getting the help he needs for his addiction. It’s not something that was pleasant for him, but treatment for mental/physical health rarely is. A real consequence for the pills he stole and the lives of patience he endangered by diluting the Ativan he was also stealing, would have been for him to be at the very least fired from the Pitt, and at most getting his medical license removed.

I get the sense that most of everyone in the ED doesn’t even know he was stealing, because Robby gave Louie his pills back, and it would be very hard to prove the vials were tampered with and that it was Langdon specifically. So whether Santos really is a pariah or that’s just her projecting or whatever, what people know is that Langdon is gone and she had something to with it on Day One. That can’t have earned her friends. Just because she doesn’t have people glaring at her openly doesn’t mean she isn’t being made to feel like an outsider or that Whitaker isn’t her only friend. That at least, that small part is still Langdon’s fault, that’s the impact he’s had on her.

Huh? What’s this? I don’t remember ordering something that big.

Oh, it’s a sofa? I already have one, though…

Huh??? It’s empty?? Then why was it so heavy…

Oh hang on what’s this?

Oh crap!!!!
