"I love you."
Well, guys, we've reached the end of the line here at the Luke and Reid rewatch. These are the final clips that we're going to recap because this is our HAPPILY EVER AFTER! Yay! After Reid successfully returns from Bay City with the heart, they immediately go back to Reid's empty pad and have the most incredible sex of their lives. But before we get there? Let's recap.
So Chris's heart is stopping and people are in a panic. Those people are John Dixon, Bob, and Kim. They tell Kim to get out of the room and Luke and Reid watch her. They both make a quick plan. Reid goes back into the room and Luke stays with Kim. Annnndddd go! Hank and Barbara arrive to comfort Kim. Luke stands and watches.
Back in the hospital, The Other Douche who goes by the name of Chris regains consciousness and has a steady heartbeat. Damn. John and Bob inform him that OOPS because you waited too long for all of this to go down? IV treatment is no longer an option. Sorry, Other Douche. Reid stands, watches, observes. He and Luke have a lot in common in this clip. Chris continues to object to options that'll save his life. Douche.
Luke runs into Casey and Alison at Al's and tells them about Chris.
Speaking of Chris, he refuses more treatments to keep his current heart in working order. I can't even, you guys. I can't even. Reid finally talks sense (BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT HE DOES). He calls him a moron and says that if they don't help the heart that he has, the search for a new heart is meaningless. Smart doctor has a point.
Chris: I'm not going to do this to Katie.
Reid: You mean ... survive?
God. I love him so much.
Here we are spending way too much time talking to Chris about HOW HE SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE HEART THAT HE HAS. There are three great doctors in there (which Chris is not) and he ignores their advice. He ignores advice from all of them and Bob asks Kim to talk some sense into her wittle boy.
Every single person on this show shows up to convince Chris to do the treatment. I cannot even believe this epic amount of bullshit. Let's see. Save my life? Die. Save my life? Die. Would you like cake or death? Sorry, we're out of cake. So my options are ... or death? Eddie Izzard's comedy to the rescue.
Chris is not out of cake. He's still. alive. Katie says, "How is dying sooner gonna make it any easier?" I can't believe that they wasted more than a minute of screentime on this. Cut to a shot of John, Bob, and Reid. They're looking like The Three Stooges in those lab coats. See how I'm diverting my anger with comedy? It works for me.

Luke informs Alison and Casey about Chris's condition.
Katie convinces Chris to get the treatment. Well, that took way too long. I'm so glad that Katie was there to make sure that the doctor knew how important treatment for saving his life was! What would he have done if he didn't have her by his side! /sarcasm. Everyone commends her on what a wonderful speech she gave? Okay.
Bob says there's a heart in Bay City!
Reid immediately goes outside because he's going to text Luke about the heart (BECAUSE LUKE IS ALWAYS THE FIRST THING ON HIS MIND, OKAY?) but he runs into him coming into the hospital. And Reid is a texter. I love this a lot. I also can't stop looking at Luke's hand on Reid's arm when Reid tells Casey and Alison the news.
Reid again remains the voice of reason and says that if Chris didn't make stupid decisions he'd never be in this position in the first place. Luke gets him to admit that he's happy for him. Reid says, with smile, "You have no idea." He really is genuinely happy for this guy.
Luke and Reid are having a cup of coffee together (how is this not in a million icons?) and Luke's happy things are working out. Reid reminds him that it ain't over yet.
John gets some distressing news, and Luke and Reid follow him into the room to see what's up. Some hot shot doctor has taken the heart for one of his own patients. Woe.
Luke asks Reid if they'll find another heart for Chris. Reid says maybe but doesn't look all too sure.
Even though he's practically on his death bed, he calls Reid in so that he could be a douche to him. He gives his congratulations to the new chief of staff. Reid tells him to shut up.
He also admits to stealing the grant in med school. I call shenanigans on this one. I don't think that Reid has to steal anything from Chris. Reid is perfectly capable of acquiring a grant on his own merit and intelligence because he has a leg up on Chris when it comes to both of those attributes. To quote my fellow mod, peggin, "The idea that Reid and Chris could be up for the same grant and Reid would need to cheat or cut corners to come out the clear winner is beyond ludicrous. And the idea that anyone could cheat their way into a fellowship and that the people in charge at Harvard Medical School wouldn't be able to figure it out is even more ludicrous." YES.

Reid, determined, marches into the locker area and says he's gonna go grab that heart and put it in Chris. I love his determined, bad ass face. It's pretty bad ass. Luke admits to wanting to kiss him for this but he thinks it's too risky.
Luke: That's weird. I seem to remember another surgeon who's an arrogant, self-proclaimed savior of mankind.
Reid: Yeah. Wonder what happened to him.
YOU'RE STILL THERE, BB. I just like the little nostalgic memory.
They head out to The Parking Lot of Epic Awesome. Luke is still so playful with him, giving him the eyes when he says he wants to go with him. Reid says this is a doctor to doctor thing. I think Reid's heart is in the right place for this because Reid is a doctor who gives a shit. Chris? He doesn't give a shit. He didn't even care about saving his own life. Reid? He fights for his medical license. He fights for patients and patients' rights. He'll fight for Chris's heart even though Chris won't.
Before Reid gets in the car, he turns around, has the sweetest expression on his face and tells Luke that he loves him. They kiss and Reid gives him a playful slap because he's so damn happy. Luke beams hearts, rainbows, unicorns, and puppy dogs at him in a smile so bright that I had to shield myself from looking directly at it.

And they spent every day of the rest of their long, happy life together making each other feel like this:
To be fair, Reid does sometimes makes Luke feel like this:
Or like this:
And Luke sometimes makes Reid feel like this:
But most of the time, they make each other feel like this:
