The first time we see a different side to Langdon is in the diatribe he delivers to Santos. That serves as a culmination of a very fraught relationship between you two, as well as her putting the pieces together that Langdon had been stealing prescription drugs from patients. Talk to me about that dynamic, and what fueled Langdon to go off on Santos in that moment.
Obviously, the emotions get away from Langdon in that moment, for sure. We just watched a little girl die. We watched a little girl drown in a pool, and we watched a mother sort of keening over the loss of her child. And I think that’s really a really difficult thing to watch. And I think as a young father, I start the episode on the phone with my kid because it’s so tough. I think Langdon is quite triggered from the start. And so whenever we get to that moment, it’s sort of yet another case of Santos not respecting his personal authority, and also the chain of command in general, in this workspace.
I think he pops off in a way that probably is inappropriate to the situation. But I think the logic of it is, “You’ve almost killed a patient earlier today because you did not want to listen. I’m responsible for this patient. And you, yet again, did not call me into the room, because you think that you have nothing else to learn.” And I think that respect for expertise is something that I hold very closely. I know that Robby has institutional knowledge that he has gained over the last 20 years of his time in the hospital, that I hope to gain over my next 20 years. And I think that that respect for experience–I think that’s a very relevant conversation to have in the world at large right now with what’s going on with the White House and the World Health Organization and all that. And I think that respect for experience is something that Langdon takes very seriously, and Santos may not be easily convinced of. But I also think there’s a lot of emotions there that have nothing to do with Santos in that moment that she unfortunately ends up on the receiving end of. [x]
Answer
Precisely. I’ve seen so many of those posts/tags and I’m always like ok you’re being deliberately obtuse. Not only are the moments of him trying to just make eye contact with her all over the episodes, but this blog is FULL of them. And I get that people are not interpreting the situation the same way we are, which is fine, but it is incorrect to say he hasn’t made attempts. Just like it would be incorrect to say she’s not running away from him.
I think it will be interesting in Santos takes Garcia’s advice to heart and approaches Langdon to say her piece before he is able to find a moment between them. It would totally catch him off guard and he’d probably be so flustered that he wouldn’t be able to get out his perfectly rehearsed speech, and he’d have to follow up with her later to actually apologize. But God, I loved that Garcia was very no bullshit about defending her friend and telling Santos that she doesn’t have any interest in enabling her self-victimization (in terms of how much she wants to go over it again and again). ERP is the gold standard for pretty much all fear-based psychological conditions (C-PTSD, OCD, etc….Santos definitely has at least one) and so unfortunately for her, Garcia is right to tell her to buck up and talk to Langdon, because it’s the only one she will be able to move on.

Hell yeah, love it! I feel like I can make any song about them if I twist it the right way lol
Answer
I would really fucking love to see a moment where we can see his sobriety is tested, where he maybe tries to go for some pills or something and then stops himself. We’ve discussed on here before how it seems likely that both Trinity and Frank are going to end up on the roof by the end of the season, just to get away from it all, and maybe that’s when they finally get to talk.
And yeah, I don’t see anything settling between them unless she can put her guard down just enough to let him speak. It’s probably going to be insanely messy as they are simultaneously both very guarded and vulnerable, so I doubt everything is going to be hunky-dory at the end of the season. I don’t blame her for being on edge and while she doesn’t HAVE to accept his apology, it’s obvious from the interaction with Garcia that she’s not going to keep getting sympathy (for something people don’t even know the full story about) about being put off by his presence. Neither of them are let off the hook for their asshole behavior, but they are going to have to work together and there is much more important stuff happening in the ED than their interpersonal drama–ANYONE would tell them that.

very interesting how last season trinity caused a pneumo in a patient, tried to set up for a chest tube and langdon said he doesn’t need a chest tube, he needs a pigtail catheter. this season when langdon rejects the chest tube, trinity goes straight for the pigtail catheter, showing AGAIN that everything langdon ever said to her has been burned in her memory

we might have to add this guy to the ‘wtf is going on between these two’ committee

This line is dangerous fuel. Yes, Frank Langdon is happy to teach Trinity Santos. Of course.

I really hope this is someone just guessing and not some journalist who has seen the ending and is trying to ruin it for everyone. Cause I’m tired of that shit.
But anyway, that would be hella cute and seeing them alone together and feeling comfortable enough to watch the fireworks would be more than I’d even dream of. I kind of lowkey think Garcia’s plans might be with Langdon but this would be better
