"He is flanked by last season's three youngest medical professionals: Santos, Whitaker, and Javadi. Listen, I know I'm a sucker and a softy, but there is just something about seeing them there all together with Robby that makes me feel warm and fuzzy, okay? Is Santos out there bitching about Dr. Al-Hashimi because she thrives on being a dick? Sure. But this is still heartwarming to me!"
"And, in true Santos fashion, it once again becomes clear that her prickliness, her lashing out at people who are on her side is all part of a coping mechanism. The reason why she's bitching about Al-Hashimi to not only her peers but her boss (Robby won't participate but his eyes tell us everything) is because Dr. Al had just stopped her to ask again about catching up on her charting"
Robby waits outside as multiple ambulances are diverted from nearby Westbridge, currently under a mysterious Code Black. He stands with Santos, Whitaker, and Javadi, whose subtle changes—greater confidence and ease with one another—reflect ten months together at PTMC. Santos remains prickly and lashes out, revealing a coping mechanism. Dr. Al-Hashimi's warning about charting and repeating residency unsettles Santos and colors her interactions for the hour. Santos shares triage responsibility with Mel on a patient named Phylicia, whose worsening oxygen and fever puzzle providers despite negative viral tests; Mel repeatedly prompts Santos to pay attention and ask basic questions.
