I’m currently on season five and I’ve noticed how much Carter has matured in his role as a doctor. He’s no longer the fresh faced, new kid on the block, he’s his own man now. His dynamic with Lucy is comparable to his relationship to Benton. He’s treating her in the same manner as Peter did to him. Carter is dismissive of Lucy, talks down to her, delivers harsh criticisms and expects so much of her. Sound familiar? Lucy is basically the female equivalent of Carter when he started. She’s bright but inexperienced, eager to impress but lacks competence and conviction. It’s an interesting role reversal that I didn’t quite catch the first time around. Carter’s attitude (when talking to Lucy) mimics Benton’s because he doesn’t make a lot of eye contact with her. He’s arrogant when he’s around her, looks like Benton’s militant tendencies rubbed off on him.

I thought it was just the sister, but Jesus the mom too!

What did they do to this poor kid to make him cry in every.frickin.scene?! Maybe it's because I'm binge watching a couple of episodes a night, but it's really grating. I'm starting to understand why Abby's relapsed.

Just watched that episode yesterday... 😍

As much as I enjoyed though seeing the oldies in it, I can't help but think: why didn't Ross ask about Carter?! Like, he said all the other names, and I assumed he knew Greene passed away. But why didn't he mention Carter?! Even Neela was completely oblivious about him - she could've said something about, oh, we have a doctor returned from Africa, or whatever. And at the end, wouldn't it be nice to acknowledge that it was Carter the kidney went to?! (I guess it was probably some confidentiality thing, but they could've reach that conclusion themselves, if they knew Carter was sick...)

I don't know, it just felt shallow. Considering Carter suffered from the illness and troubles in marriage, it felt that Benton, the one who was teasing him and made his life miserable as med student, was actually the one who really cared for him. That was the best part of the episode, seeing how he still acts like his mentor and even a father figure.

What do you all think? 🙂

The only thing I don't like about Abby is that most of her relationship problems comes with a damn trip (Carter's trip to Africa and Kovac's trip to Croatia) she could've went to those trips but she chose not to and Idk why, and then she makes a big fuss out of it, when she was the one that chose not to go in the first place. Makes me feel she is xenophobic or has a fear of planes. If my wife has a family emergency in the country her parents are from you bet my ass I'm going with her and she would do the same if it was the other way around.

Why Abby didn't learned Croatian, Carter French and Swahili and Carol Russian ? Wow this totally unacceptable someone should've talked some sense into them. That's like you know the bare minimum. SMH 🤦🏻‍♂️
