    Summary

    Dennis Whitaker has hated storms for as long as he can remember. From under a pile of rubble with a long shard of 2x4 piercing through his side, he thinks about the massive “I told you so” he’s going to say to his therapist if he somehow lives through the night.

    or:

    Dennis is injured in the field while facing one of his worst fears, and Robby has to deal with the reality that he has feelings for Dennis, that Dennis might not recover, and that it's his fault that Dennis was in the field in the first place.

    Summary

    “I was trying to make breakfast.”
    Jack takes one step into the kitchen, hands on his hip as he continues to blink in disbelief. “Why?”
    “I wanted to do something nice.” Dennis replies, meagre. “Start the day well. For you and Robby.”
    “Well, that went well.” Jack scoffs, not even looking at Dennis.
    Dennis curls into himself even more. “I’m sorry.”
    “Whatever, just leave it to us next time kid.”

    -

    Or sleep deprived Jack tells Dennis off, Robby doesn't help, but they get their shit together eventually

    Summary

    The man squinted stubbornly. “Man, hell nah. Maybe it’s just for show. You know — ring to ward off the creeps."

    Daniel gave him a look. “ You do know you’re literally the creep it’s meant to ward off.”

    Another patient intervened, “Okay, okay. But weirdo with the scar has a point. Dr. Whitaker practically lives here. I always see him when I come back here. How’s a man like that got time for a spouse?"

    Daniel tilted his head. Come to think of it, he always sees Dr. Whitaker working himself down to the bone.

    And looking back at it, there was one person Whitaker seemed... different around. “Maybe,” Daniel said slowly, “he’s married to one of the doctors in here."

     
    TLDR: the patients at PTMC make a bet to figure out who Dr. Whitaker's mysterious husband is.
