langdon being caught so off guard when al hashimi refused to let him talk over the younger students and residents. santos almost crumbling at the sight of criticism. javadi being allowed to answer all the questions from al hashimi and clearly not being used to actually getting to make the calls. mckay having someone who understands what she’s been through and allowing herself to talk about it. samira actually getting an apology from robby after al hashimi made him.
these people are experiencing for the first time what happens when you have an attending that doesn’t play favourites, guides properly and appropriately, and doesn’t use his power against them when when having a bad day. i’m astounded how much we can tell by their reaction to al hashimi how robby has been failing in his role either in the past or in the present
