she/her
Last night I had a dream I was in a house I no longer live in. There was a spider bigger than my hand in the corner. My landlord was downstairs and we called her up. She looked at me with sad eyes and said, “this is going to hurt for him like a small pet.” She stabbed him through the heart; she was not reluctant to carry out this task. My roommate, believing him to be dead, became the undertaker. She secreted him away and threw him in the oven. But I saw he was still alive. And despite my fears, I pulled him out and cradle him in my hands, knowing all things deserve comfort when they die.
ok ok i'm thinking color theory here because we know santos is wearing maroon in season 3 and mel has maroon accents with a white shirt
I didn't go back and look at each character in depth so please forgive me if i'm wrong or missing small details (also the note for Mel s2 is one of her socks is blue, but initially it was for my own use so, idk i'm sorry)
The darker the color, I think, the more dire the symbolism is. (Mohan's navy in s1 is lighter than others, indicating that her issue is not as serious. Robby and Langdon's greens are darker than Mel's, etc)
White - Perhaps "white flag" symbolism.
Robby in s1 is attempting to work in spite of his trauma.
Same with Dana in s2 (working through quitting and coming back after the punch).
Perhaps Santos doesn't really fit this narrative in an obvious way? I could shoehorn her arc in s1 since I personally believe that Santos didn't want to be someone who whistleblows her first day (I think this is a contested point, but I really think the text supports that). The red accent might even be the indication that she can't let it sit.
Collins is working through the morning sickness and then attempts to work through the miscarriage before Robby sends her home.
Maroon - Maroon seems to act as a foil to Robby specifically (alternate leader), typically by acting as a grounding force until a health issue that Robby "has" to confront.
Collins is clearly the foil to Robby's deteriorating mental health in s1 until he sends her home after the miscarriage
Mohan is, in my opinion, very grounded and doing very well as an R4 until her panic attack has Robby attacking her and forces her to doubt herself.
Al-Hashimi is also very competent and does well until the health issue comes up and Robby attacks her as well.
Navy - Navy might indicate a struggle to fit into the ED, someone who has to fight to make it work.
Langdon's s2 arc is all about struggling to come back and find his place
Mohan's s1 arc is about whether she's "too slow" to work in the ED
Santos' s2 arc is about being overwhelmed by the paperwork aspect of the ED (especially considering she is still gunning to do two residencies at once)
Donnie has an arc in S2, and it's about struggling to be a father to a newborn while working in the ED
Lena has an arc in s2, and it's about juggling the ED with being a Death Doola
Green - Hiding a Dark Secret (and/or) attempting to "physician heal thyself." Something they should not be handling alone.
Robby's s2 is struggling to hide his suicidal tendencies and wears the dark green sweater until he's no longer hiding it. But he feels like he has a good handle on it (he's going to do it, he just has to get through the day)
Langdon's s1 is obviously hiding his drug addiction. He also feels like he has a handle on it (he's convinced himself he's weaning himself off).
Mel's s2 is about her no-good, horrible day and having no support system, & needing to find a support system. Finding out things are not under control like she thought she had them.
Purple - Indicates that the character will Find Their Place
Mel's wearing purple in s1 and finds that she does belong in the ED by the end of the MCI.
Javadi's wearing purple in s2, and she realizes she wants to go into psychiatry.
Mateo's wearing purple in s2, and he says that he's in med school and says he belongs on night shift.
Gray/Tan - Indicates someone who is competent and compassionate, if a little disillusioned with it all. Interestingly, a lot of characters wear grey in both seasons.
See McKay, Whitaker, Perlah, etc.
Black - Lone Wolf indicator. I don't care to go into it, I think it's obvious. (This is outside the scrubs, so like Abbott in both seasons or Mel)
Conclusion: Mel is attempting to work through the trauma of feeling utterly alone and needing a support system (white shirt). She will also have minor moments of being a foil to Robby's leadership (maroon accents), but Santos will bear the full brunt of this role in s3.
also knowing that langdon's in tan for s3 makes me wonder if this will be his last season, with the arc starting with "hiding a big dark secret," moving to finding his place, and ending with him as "compassionate/competent"
also it's possible that santos is wearing a maroon/navy combo for s3? (i can't tell there was one angle where it looked like a color-blocking situation) interestinggg. langdon's presence/lack of robby over the last four months causing her to feel like she doesn't know where she belongs? even as she finds a leadership role?
and it looks like robby's in the forest green sweater again and mayybee a gold shirt? which is a new color (except for jewelry). maybe it's a tan color, and the lighting was weird?
oh and im so dumb because al hashimi was wearing a light purple-ish jacket, not a black one. which means that she also found her place in the ED (interesting that it was taken off by the end of the shift?)
