bawling over the fact that everyone is either hard on Dana or reliant on her. she's surrounded by broken people and she's built up a safe, stalwart demeanor. she's seen as reliable and strong because she is, but in a way where she's usually not allowed to be weak. not allowed to falter.
Langdon still seeks her out to help shoulder his burdens, she's the one who sits with Mel on the stairs both seasons, Robby is lashing out. she's revered as someone who runs the ED and keeps them all together, but that's not always a good thing. she's burnt out. she's tired. who can she rely on?
Dennis's "you do this every day?" "for the past 30 (?) years." "well... you deserve a medal." in s1 like. "id settle for a raise." uughhhaahhhhh. I can't even. just her fucking character dude, so beautiful and tragic. so kind.
fucking with the incarcerated patient's sats so he'd have a reason to be admitted. gentle and safe for the sexual assault victim. fuck, that shot of her hands reaching out because Dana usually comforts with touch— only to pull back, not wanting to add any more unwanted touch, even well meaning. perceptive about struggle. "I'm glad you were here today." "me too."
protective and loving to all her nurses. telling princess to get out of here, go enjoy her fourth. running as soon as she saw Emma in danger. quietly holding Perlah on the roof.
most underrated mc imo. her trauma, her burnout, her flaws and her strengths. she's so compelling to me and so deeply human. her arc was one of my favorites this season, so so fucking good on every level, with digby and ilana and emma. ohhh I love you dana evans I so badly wish to see you heal
