Summary
James Ogilvie started his E.R. rotation determined to become the most impressive med student in the department.
Unfortunately, Victoria Javadi already claimed his spot.
She’s smarter than him, faster than him, better with patients than him, and somehow still has time to pine after a curly-haired nurse who clearly doesn’t deserve her.
Meanwhile, James is stuck memorizing the color rotation of her scrunchies and stalking her tiktok.
Now, their shifts consist of chest tubes, escalating bets, near-synchronized diagnoses, and bickering so intense that a concussed patient assumes they’re married.
Which would be less of a problem if James wasn’t starting to wish they were.

Summary
Ogilvie sits on a park bench for two hours, trying and failing to convince himself to waltz back into the ER. He makes a list of all the reasons why he should go back. They start off optimistic, like how if he scrubbed in again, he might finally get that third intubation. Then they turn desperate. Going back would show resilience, or maybe some kind of pitiful determination, like a dog that still plays fetch after you kicked it in the ribs.
More importantly, his bag is still there, keys in the front pocket.
(In which James Ogilvie sticks through his rotation, joins the street team, and learns about basic human decency.)

“Alright, let me go find him,” Dustin says brightly, pushing himself off of the bed and bounding out of the room.

El does not really want to meet Mittens. Personally, she thinks she could go all of her life without ever going near a cat again. However, Dustin seems very excited, so she will try.

Dustin helps El get over her fear of cats.

Deb’s eyes lit up. “Wait, wait, wait. I think I’ve got an idea,” she said, her voice practically singing with mischief. “I’ll set him up with someone.”
“Who?” LaGuerta asked, glancing over at Deb.
“You know who,” Deb smirked. “James freaking Doakes.”
