Summary
Dana was already explaining: "Mohan was asking if this guy's single," she said, hooking a thumb Jack's way.
Robby lit up like he'd just gotten a gift, turning bemused eyes his way. "Oh, was she," he drawled, enjoying this.
Dana made an indulgent noise. "Apparently she's very taken with our dear Dr. Abbot and wondered if the feeling is mutual." They both looked to Jack then, Dana long-suffering, Robby delighted.
Fuck Jack's life, honestly.

Or, five times they learn to count on each other, and one time they finally figure out what it means that they do.

Summary
An unexpected break-up means Robby ends up going to Pittfest with Jake after all. He asks Abbot to cover half his shift, and Abbot is happy to agree—surely half a day shift can't be nearly as chaotic as the usual night shift. Everything that happens later changes his perspective on plenty of things, from just how crazy the day shift can get, to where exactly he wants to stand with Robby.

Summary
Robby knows it's illogical. Walking into work and seeing Shen at the desk waiting to do a handover with him shouldn't be disappointing. He likes doing the handover with Jack. Beginning his workday with Jack is like downing an energy drink for breakfast; It keeps him going until he can clock out.
Thinking that way when he left Jack sleeping in their bed is why he knows it's illogical.
*******
Robby starts his shift disappointed, and it all goes downhill from there. If you think his day in season 1 was bad, his day is about to get even worse...
