yall gotta open your minds to robbylangdon rn (is that what we’re calling it?) like listen to me. mentor/mentee, robby’s favorite resident turned disgraced prince of the ed… frank’s idolization of robby & unfaltering loyalty vs robby’s refusal to let anyone acknowledge that he has emotions & how BETRAYED he felt when frank hid his addiction from him… frank being willing to do anything & EVERYTHING as long as it makes robby proud of him / think he’s good… robby’s blatant favoritism just encouraging frank to keep chasing that validation… don’t even get me started on the locker room scene FUCK. when they said it was the closest think the pitt had to a breakup scene. yeah. it’s the commander x right hand trope in a modern setting & ive fallen straight for it hook line & sinker. cannot wait for s2 when we (maybe) see frank getting better / being less willing to play into the dynamic they’ve had for years bc he recognizes the toxicity of it while robby sinks deeper and deeper into his own mental hellscape & tries to bait frank to some degree into old habits of their dynamic. either that or they have the worst most unbearable tension between them from not resolving Anything from s1 tgt and the entire ed just has to deal with that
