"If you die, at least you'll know there's nobody on earth that could save you."
Let the Lily and Dr. Oliver show begin! Reid gets in a lot of great one-liners all jam packed into one soapy episode so let's continue right along here. This episode just shoves in all the major players in the Holden Killed Damian (Or Did He?) storyline plus some douche named Noah who's still blind and pops in for an appointment.
Dr. House is on the edge of his seat.
Molly is indignant that her boyfriend may be extradited to Malta to stand trial for the "murder" of Damian. Tom Hughes is pretty meh about it in a "these things happen all the time, Mol" kind of way. Molly threatens to get all the bad info on the judge trying Holden's case and we can see that blackmail is a v. v. popular tool for reasoning in Oakdale. All Holden really wants her to do is get Lily.
Luke is determined to get our Dr. O to testify that the body found was not Damian's but someone who had advanced Huntington's disease. This leads to interrupting Reid's exam room while he's with a patient and yelly moments ensue. Before that, Reid gets to be very hilarious while talking to a patient. I dare you not to laugh your ass off. You'll laugh and also realize that Reid is kind of ridic hot in this entire scene most scenes. This is followed by snarky Reid making snarky comments to Luke and Lily resulting in Lily hating him instantly.
Molly grabs Lily because Holden needs her. This results in 30 seconds that could be dedicated to Luke and Reid, kthx.
"You're asking me for a favor. You might wanna cut back on the snarkiness."
That's what happens in the exam room. Plus, Reid calls Lily hot, Luke looks confused, and doesn't really care because he needs Reid to do what he wants and Luke gets what he wants. Luke heads to the police station, tells his parents Dr. Oliver's too busy, and gets a super bitchy look on his face while he says it.
Cut to Reid recording notes about a patient. Then he actually stops to ponder why he's thinking about the dead Maltese corpse. Well, Dr. Oliver, I think that you're thinking about the hot blond guy who took those images to you. Just sayin'.
blind!guy comes in and Reid mentions that he's distracted by blind!guy's hot boyfriend ... but not for the fun reasons where everyone's minds are going right now.
Click to viewNoah mentions that Reid asked them to do things that they didn't wanna do -- translation: I did what I needed to do for me and I asked Luke to go along with it. But, I digress. Noah's voice is like the teachers in the Peanuts cartoons to me right now. All "wah, wah, wah" with no real sounds forming.
Reid tells Noah to GTFO and spends more time contemplating Luke Luke's case.
Back in the police station, Luke tells us how he really feels about Dr. Oliver and he's pouting about the whole thing until who comes into the station to help out? Dr. Oliver! Hallelujah! He uses plenty of medical terms and everyone needs to double check on all the medical confirmations which Reid doesn't think is necessary because he's a genius but meh, he does it anyway.
Luke's v. grateful and Reid needs him to testify at his trial that he did. not. steal Luke's car. Noah still gets his surgery, Reid gets to go back to Dallas, and all is well in both Luke's world and Reid's.
Uh oh! They're shipping Holden off anyway. But, wait! Reid watches TV and sees Molly's v. stiff and unnatural broadcaster voice tell alllllllllllllll of Oakdale that it ain't right to send Holden off. Holden gets to stay pending further investigation.
Reid stays until the end and makes sure that Luke will pay up on the favor he now owes him. Reid asks where's Damian? And ...
DUN, DUN, DUN.
HE'S RIGHT THERE!
Until the next clip rewatchers!
