Yolanda is down in the pitt to discuss a patients surgery prep when she happens upon the strangest Frank and Mel interaction, in which he is all excited, telling her something, peacocking the way he does to make her smile, and Mel's smile is all wrong, and when she turns away to go check on a patient she looks like she's dying inside, with Frank looking after her like he might cry.
"What's going on with Jim and Pam over there?" Yoyo asks, sidling up to Parker who looks up from her tablet to Mel and then Frank and huffs.
"You know he signed his divorce papers?"
"Obviously, he was chewing on my coffee table pen."
"You know how everyone knows he's getting divorced because he told Perlah?"
Yolanda shrugs. Obviously, if you want information spreading like wildfire you tell Princess or Perlah, that's the law of the land.
Parker makes an amused face. "Mel doesn't know. And he doesn't know Mel doesn't know."
"Remember when he went to rehab and everyone was talking about the audit that Princess had to run on his prescribing history, because Dana left?"
"Mel shut that shit down so hard, I don't remember if it was Whitaker or one of the other med students who told her about it, it might have been Javadi, but you should have seen her, she damn near bit her head off. So no one gossips with Mel about Langdon."
"So she has no idea? He's laying it on this thick and she thinks he's just... being friendly? Oh.... aww, they're tragic." Yolanda smiles, fond, amused. "Should we tell them?"
"Oh no, it's forbidden. Ahmad's got 2k in the betting pool on when they'll figure it out. Nature documentarian rules apply, we only tell them if one of their lives is in danger from it."
Yolanda reaches into her pocket to check how much cash she has on her.
"Hey, no cheating!" Parker warns her. "If you know something from his sad ass moping on your sofa, that's insider trading."
"I would never." Yolanda lies.
