Everything about today's Kingdon scenes that made me explode inside from various emotions.
We actually got a callback to almost EVERY meaningful interaction they got in S1. A lot of them were about autism/ADHD and coping with all that in healthy and unhealthy ways, while being ER doctor. And now we get a continuation of that, but it feels like now Mel's the one struggling with the burden of the job. And it's so good to see...
That Frank is just right there to take care of her. Not because he is the only one who cares (it's obvious how Dana and how Princess care), but because he gets it HOW to take care of her. Like he is so in tune with her needs it takes 0 seconds for him to lighten the mood when it's needed and treat her seriously when it's needed. The easy of this connection is just next fucking level.
And how the hell what the fuck that he rushes to her from in the middle of this AI bullshit, but still meeting with superior? Like THE LEVEL OF HIS CONCERN???
And the way Frank LOWERS HIS VOICE saying "ER can be very bright and noisy" just means how deep he understands the lesson that Mel taught him with S1 autistic patient. I still remember an awe on his face when she expertly dealt with that case. He uses now that knowledge to help her. Aaaaaargh!!!
I love how he used "we" in "we'll cross that bridge when we get there". He acted fully on like her family, especially when he ushers out policemen and I suppose it is the first time in a long time Mel sees someone taking care of her the same way she does of her sister. What the fuck!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, and seriously, Frank Langdon is a changed man. The care, the sensitivity, the calm he brough to their interaction. In a way it has always been a part of him (a thousand pieces scene), but now, after rehab, I see that softer, vulnerable side in new colors. And let me just say that I love these colors.
And this whole scene falls heavy upon the fact that it is all caused by some dude that was hitting on Mel and turned out to be a conman. Like??? I cannot even start comprehending that.
But also. I am so much worried they will go with a gossip plot with "Sold to Doctor Langdon" and Captain Scurvy convo. Like I get that Pitt in general is hostile place for any kind of ship, but I'm like aaaaargh. Be kind at least to my autistic queen!!!
And also!!! The way they cut to Mel from previous scene on a line "I'm a big girl", but then Mel says "I'm fine". It's like of course she is a big girl and of course she says she's fine. The empathy of the writers is just through the fucking roof.
I really really really hope that writers will explore their relationship. We both deserve a ship with an autistic caregiver and an adhd ex-addict, who need each other to support themselves.
