Regarding the two week hospital stay (cause I keep trying to justify it/figure out wtf their logic is), maybe surgery on the hand, and complications from infection? I smashed and broke a finger in a car door before and they were pretty serious about antibiotics and a tetanus shot. But inpatient for two weeks!?!? Jessica had to have bribed the hospital
that’s what I was thinking but still you’d think they’d at least give a throwaway line about complications ??? honestly I’m guessing a good part of it was probably jessica insisting he stay for mental health reasons and malcolm just being too tired to fight it (forever sad we didn’t actually get to see the immediate aftermath of 11 and I’m blaming the fucking super bowl)
