Mika, already having a s–t day, owing to her home/van being towed, rapidly turned pissed off by her less-than-stellar stitching and ran to Joe’s to get a tutorial from Helm. (Hello, sparks!) When Arlo’s mother acquired chilly ft, it was Amelia, recalling her expertise with ill-fated Christopher, that modified her thoughts.
After Maggie and Winston pulled off a miracle within the O.R., the marrieds lastly talked about their struggle within the midseason finale (recapped right here).
