    Summary

    “I get that.” Dennis tilted his head, staring at himself in the reflection of his drink as Santos took an especially noisy sip of hers. “I kinda feel the same way? Like my relationship with my last name is sorta complicated, mostly because of my parents and -”

    “Shut the fuck up.”

    He paused for a moment, then winced like she had punched him. “Yeah. Alright. Huckleberry, shutting the fuck up.”

    “No, I - shit, sorry, I wasn’t trying to - I will gladly listen to you rant about your parents whenever you want, but - but Mel just walked into the bar. With Dr. Fucking Langdon.”

    The relief lasted only a second before the meaning of her words registered - Mel and Dr. Langdon - and he was cranking around in his seat to take a look. “What? Where?”

    Summary

    “Okay,” Becca says with a nod, thankful to be able to focus on the movie again as she declares, “I’m still not calling you Frank, though.”

    “I guess beggars can’t be choosers, can they?”

    “Nope.”

    Becca likes Dr. Langdon when she meets him during her emergency room visit. It’s later, when he's introduced to her as Mel's friend Frank, that she decides she isn't so sure.

    Summary

    In New York, Ilya is celebrating a victory against the Admirals by watching his secret boyfriend destroy the Pittsburgh Penguins on home ice on a hotel TV. He isn't prepared to witness Shane go down, hard, in a pool of blood.

    Meanwhile, in Pittsburgh, Mel has agreed to a blind date in the hope that it will help her move on from her growing feelings towards the very-married Dr. Langdon, who has recently returned to the Pitt. When her date takes Mel to a hockey game, she doesn't think her night can get any worse - until one of the players has his neck cut open mere feet away from her.

    Mel doesn't hesitate to act. And over three hundred miles away, all Ilya can do is watch as Shane's life is held in a stranger's hands.

    Summary

    “Mel,” Frank said softly, “can I tell you something?”

    “Yes,” Mel replied, even softer, her gaze flicking back and forth from one eye to the other. “You can tell me anything.”

    A dark look shadowed his face for a second before he leaned back in his seat, braced his hands against the steering wheel until his arms were completely straight, and blew a raspberry.

    Then he exhaled roughly - similar to the raspberry, but without so much involvement of the lips. “You can’t judge,” he told her then, glancing in her direction. “Okay?”

    She was resisting the urge to start twirling her butterfly ring around her finger. “Just tell me, Frank,” she said, “you’re making me nervous.”

    “I’m trying, I’m trying. Not to make you nervous, I’m trying to tell you. That…” He looked away from her again, back out the car window, and clenched his fists around the steering wheel until his knuckles turned white. Then he dropped his hands in his lap. “I had a sex dream the other night,” he told her, with a weird sense of finality. “About you.”

    Summary

    When Victoria was thirteen, a couple of months after she began college, John faded away from her life. Just like that, as sudden as the way he had entered it. So by the time she enters her EM rotation at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Centre and runs into Dr John Shen, attending physician, it’s been a good seven years since their last encounter.

    He looks just about the same. A little older, sure, and somehow even more laid-back than he had been. And good-looking, too. Victoria’s brain can’t handle the fact that there isn’t one, but two human Utahs in this very room.

    (Victoria reunites with her brother’s best friend—and her old childhood crush—at PTMC during her med school rotation. She’s not sure if he remembers her.)

    Summary

    “Hold on hold on, did you say my granddad?”

    Lark sighed loudly, “I suppose he would be your step-grandfather.”

    The air in the room was suddenly tense. Terry looked around in apprehension at the sudden shift in atmosphere, “yeah? …what's he like?”

    Sparrow grimaced, “He's-”

    Sudden shouting from the other room caused all the kids to jump. The words of the exchange were muffled through the large oak door that shimmered with magic. However, Terry could clearly hear that the source of the voice was a man. An adult.

    Sparrow’s grip on Terry’s hand tightened.

    “He's back.” Lark finished gravely

    Summary

    “You look a little rough there boys,” Rebecca says. Sparrow bristles at the word 'boys.' They’re not boys anymore. They’re men, and men who have money for her.

    “Got in a fight with a raccoon,” Lark says offhandedly, slumping into the diner seat across from her. Rebecca squints at Lark then turns her attention back to Sparrow.

    "$1,200," she asks.

    "$1,200," Sparrow agrees.

    ---

    Lark and Sparrow use their fight club winnings to invest in Rebecca's ice cream company.

    “Believe me,” Trudy nods knowingly, “I understand just how gosh darn annoying periods can be. If you ask me, the worst part has got to be the blackouts.”

    The confusion is enough to distract Kelsey from the pain. “What?”

    “You know, the blackouts!” Trudy repeats helpfully. Kelsey does not, in fact, know.

    Summary

    The most confusing part was that Coach Darnell looked like a normal adult, almost like Grant’s dad, but leaner and taller and darker in complexion. He wore the same ball cap and the same silver whistle around his neck.

    Only then did Grant really take note of the wedding band on his left hand, glinting silver in the sun. Grant squinted into its bright light.

    Summary

    When Grant emerges from the trees about a hundred feet downstream from them, they silently turn to watch him. His sweatshirt hangs off of his thinning frame in a way that almost swallows him whole when his shoulders hunch up to his chin and start shaking. Through the darkness, Nick and Terry can’t see his face well, but the sounds of crickets and rushing water cannot mask the sniffling, heaving breaths coming from Grant.

    Oh. Nick and Terry realize at once. He’s crying.

    But that’s where their thought patterns diverge. Because while Terry is ready to silently creep away and give Grant a wide radius of space, Nick already has his hands up and shouts, “Hey! Grant!”

    --

    As Lark and Sparrow explore Oakvale with the dads, Nick and Terry comfort Grant through an important milestone: your first gay rejection. Grant, meanwhile, dies of embarrassment. Occuring during/after Season 1, Episode 38: Clone Tree Hill.

    Summary

    “I maybe told my dad that you had been staying late in the studios,” Grant explained after a beat and Sparrow sighed before he could even finish. “And he got worried and told your dad, and he got really worried and asked me if I would walk you home to make sure you’re safe.”

    Sparrow closed his eyes, pinching the bridge of his nose with two fingers. He was sure he was smearing charcoal across his face, but he hardly cared. “I’m 21 and we’ve all received combat training, I can take care of myself.”

    Grant snickered and rolled the chair closer, letting his arms drape over Sparrow’s shoulders. “But you’re so little! You’re petite! You’ll get picked up by strangers on the street!”

    “I could kick your ass.”

    “Even without Lark?”

    -

    Going to college was a good thing. Sparrow was living a normal life, he was striving for achievement, and he wasn't sitting around San Dimas with their dad and too many weapons. He was happy here, really. The fact that he missed Lark like a phantom limb didn't mean he wasn't happy.
