Summary
Actually, Mel's excited about a lot of things going into the new school year. She’s excited to co-teach with Dr. Mohan and Mr. Langdon. She’s excited to continue supporting the kids on her caseload from the previous year, and she knows writing their IEPs will go so much better now that she knows them and their families a little. She’s excited that her Physics class will be entirely made up of students she taught in Chemistry the previous year; they were a great group.
There are things to worry about, too. Co-teaching with two new people again. The daily possibility that she’s going to do something overwhelmingly embarrassing in front of Langdon. Still not knowing where she should go during her prep periods. That she’s going to be just as alone as she’s always been at work, but with some added disappointment because she’s let her hopes get up, just a little.
There’s no way that she and Langdon can co-teach as well as she hopes. She’s sure her bubble will burst soon enough, that her crush will fade, and everything will settle back to baseline.
(It doesn't.)

"Isn't it too late? I must have missed the RSVP deadline by now."
Carisi shrugged, looking awkward for a brief moment. "Yeah, my plus one fell through so there's a space open. You can come with me."

"There's no sexy way to strangle someone with a belt," Rafael corrected. He had no idea where Carisi got half the ideas in that head of his. Not that they were all bad ideas. Just most of them. And the rest, they were – out there. Different.
"Sure there is," Carisi said easily.

Summary
Frank Langdon should not be touching Mel King like this.
Jesus, this was a bad idea.
But it was just a strap. And then her clavicles. And then his fingertips and nails along her arms, lightly grazing the raised goosebumps forming on her skin. Her body’s reaction to his touch was like a drug. He hoped she couldn’t feel his body’s response. Fuck, he wanted to touch her more.
No. That was it. It had to be. He was not going to ruin this moment. She would never be able to see him the same if he did that, and he needed Mel King not to hate him like grass needed the sun. She was his last refuge in a world that would not forgive him.

Summary
It’s Mel King, who looks absolutely identical to the other times—count them, three—he’s seen her: honey-colored braid, no-nonsense thick-framed glasses, a slightly uncertain expression playing across her face, which Frank already knows hides the strength of her convictions.

Summary
If Elias still had a heartbeat he was sure it would race with Elijah. He let out a soft laugh and relaxed his entire body on the floor, “You were always the stronger one between the two of us.”
Elijah’s eyebrows furrowed even more, “You won’t kill him then?”
Elias snorted, “If you don’t get your ass out of here right now that cracker is gonna kill him first.”

Summary
The sick, muddy feeling creeps further up Stack's throat. It gathers on the right side of his neck, and Stack winces, rubbing that spot, too. His fingers slide slickly, as if aided by the wetness of blood. Stack knows damn well the snake didn't get him. If anything, it'd been Smoke's fingers on the line – Smoke, whose flash of irritation has faded into a quieter concern, disguised from the world by the tense set of his jaw. But Stack would know his brother's face in Braille, and he tries for a smile he already knows won't reach his eyes.
“You said we should put off opening?” he prompts.
OR, Smoke and Stack push the juke joint's opening back a day. It might just save their lives.

Summary
“I swear I’ve mentioned Alex before,” Mel murmurs, frowning down at her phone, still not clocking how she’s short-circuited Frank’s brain. It's a blue screen of death up there. Hi, you’ve reached Dr. Frank Langdon. I’m not available to talk right now, but leave a message, and I might get back to you. Beeeeeep.
The picture continues to shine cheerily up at them, silently mocking Frank. He forces himself to look away and swallows with difficulty. “I think I'd remember if you'd told me about your ‘best friend’ who you ‘used to be in love with.’”

Summary
“Cute, but uh,” Frank chuckled at her act of sudden modesty, slightly mocked her even, “married—” he waved his left hand in the air “—you're obviously going through a lot right now, and plus, it wouldn’t be fair.”
Mel itched to say it was unfair now, with his dumb, tousled hair she wanted to tug, that cruel way he occupied her thoughts, and the fact that she couldn't kiss him without seeing his father’s face. None of it was fair to her. She never had the urge to balance the scales before—her life thus far had been tragedies and exits; she let them all go—until now.
So Mel said the thing she wasn't supposed to say.
“Not too sure if I like my boyfriend how I’m supposed to, or how I like you.”
Mel accidentally falls for her boyfriend's father.

Summary
The problem, she figures, is that she's never been the kind of person to make up her mind one way or the other and stick to it. There's always another option, another way. You don't make it to world-class journalist from teenage pop star without thinking of all the escape routes. (Post-finale fix it.)

Summary
Some nights were, naturally, worse than others.
Nights where Frank laid in bed for so long, staring at the ceiling, that it made his heart start to race with anxiety and his back ache and ache and ache no matter how he positioned himself. Nights where his thoughts spiraled out into worst-case-scenarios that seemed so vivid and inevitable that he would have to get up and go to the bathroom, just to turn the light on and look at himself in the mirror to remember what was actually real.
Those were the nights when he wanted the pills again the most: alone in his guest bedroom, trying to wring sleep out of his body like the last few drops of water out of a dirty dishcloth.
He tried not to call Mel on nights like that. He did not always succeed.

Like clockwork, Yolanda slid dark eyes over to her. "Still ignoring me, Parker? You wound my tender heart."
"That's some low-hanging fruit right there. I think I'm insulted," Parker mused.
Yolanda's grin went sharp enough to slice. "Want me to kiss it better?"
Parker shot her an unimpressed look. Because after everything, she was going there, really? "I know you're not trying to flirt with me."
