Really tough.

Well, even the way he has talked all season about what her future should hold, it was never your talents would be really suited towards this.

It's like the pace of this place doesn't work for you.

You need to wash out to be in something else.

I actually really like this one because it feels like a culmination of everything she's been going through all day.

And specifically, the kinds of cases we've seen animate her, right?

Like, when she was working with Jackson and his family, you could tell, like, that's a difficult situation.

She's learning on the fly.

It's not something that she's, like, inherently suited for, has, like, the knowledge and understanding of how to do it yet.

But she has the compassion for it and the attention to detail for it.

And you can see her like learning in real time how to be better at this part of her job.

And also she gets to, if she does end up going into emergency psych specifically, the parts of working in ED that appeal to her are still there, right?

The urgency, the adrenaline, like helping people in very specific need right now, that's still there.

But there's not necessarily the Roxy-level mortality events, right?

It's like you are brought in to consult with people who need help, who are looking for some kind of outlook, and you're trying to help them find it.

But you're not having to deal with just like the loss after loss after loss that, as she lays out, is basically eating everybody in this department alive.

She mercifully stops short.

But how did you feel about it?

Did this work for you?

It's an unlikely animal friendship.
