nope still not over it wdym langdon takes care of mel?? the man oblivious to his wife's needs. doesn't really think about her day to day life. gets a dog without consulting the woman running their household and raising their kids. brings up his own stressful career when somebody mentions his wife's struggles. tries to put a grilled salmon dinner shaped bandaid on his shortcomings. a birkin (?!) shaped bandage on his flaws as a husband. isn't even willing to take care of a new puppy he got his kids since they said they'll do it. and we're supposed to believe HE'S the adult taking care of mel king ??
like he picks her out from the herd of newbies (she's the oldest so the attendings assume she's fine on her own) but he takes her under his wing and takes care of her. langdon looks out for her. he works cases that dont require two residents so he can keep an eye on her. he constantly praises her. asks her if she's okay. tells her to take her time. says she's his least problematic trainee knowing she needs to hear it. reaffirms her faith in herself by tying her insecurities to his own (been there, we all been there. you and me both). hears her out and immediately soothes her aching heart. validates her emotions. explicitly shows off her skills and praises her in front of patients after she was on the floor doubting her place here. says she's the person he'd call in that situation. makes her feel needed.
langdon catches her in moments of crisis and rushes to her side. he guides her. teaches her. lets her latch onto him. calls her his favourite with so many words because he knows she's excited to be his favourite. his girl.
