Summary
Baran is in the middle of describing the look her ex-wife gave her when Sami's teacher suggested maybe he gets his argumentative streak from home. "It was so pointed, Trinity, you would have thought she was trying to kill me with her eyes, and I'm sitting there thinking, first of all, he gets it from both of us, she's a lawyer for Christ's sake—" She stops. Utterly stalls, mid-sentence and mid-motion, the rolled spinach half under the knife on the board. The hand not holding the knife gives a faint, irregular jerk at her side, fingertips twitching against the grain of the wooden cutting board. For a single disorienting second Trinity thinks Baran has simply lost her train of thought.
It takes Trinity a beat too long, something she'll kick herself for later, to understand what she's seeing. "Babe?"

Summary
Trinity doesn’t think the permanent addition of Dr. Al-Hashimi will change much about the ED. That changes after an impromptu offer to watch her kid for the evening. One night leads to another, which bleeds into a familiarity Trinity hadn’t known she was missing.
Or,
Trinity falls hard. She doesn’t know how to navigate it.

Summary
She does not move at first. Lying still lets her pretend, for a brief moment, that maybe the stiffness is temporary. Maybe she slept wrong and it's not her body reminding her that fifteen straight years of gymnastics will always exact their price eventually. Her lower back gives a deep-tissue, miserable twinge. Every joint in her body is stubbornly reminding her that they exist. Trinity swallows and stares out the window, blinds open into the backyard so that she can watch the rain drip off the plants in the garden. Baran will be happy about that, at least. Maybe it will even outshine her disappointment for Trinity once again not delivering on a promise.

Summary
“You know,” Sam says in a low tone, eyes still on the chaos in the kitchen, “at some point you’re going to have to tell her.”
Lena blinks away from it. “Tell who what?”
“Kara. How you actually feel about her.”
Across the room, Kara stills after she hears that. Not visibly. Not enough for anyone without super senses to notice. But her name paired with the sound of Lena’s heartbeat shifting is enough to get her attention.
On the couch, Lena exhales through her nose, “It’s not like that.” It's what she manages, even though it is exactly like that.

Summary
They’re at game night. Alex is complaining about losing. Winn is pretending not to cheat. There’s laughter in the air, soft and golden, curling around the windows and cushions like smoke.
Lena’s half-listening, caught somewhere between the burn of bourbon in her glass and the curve of Kara’s mouth as she teases Alex.
She almost doesn't notice when Kara leans in, low and fond and a little breathless, and says under her breath, like it’s just for her:
“Zrhureiao.”
Kryptonese.
It lands like a meteor in Lena’s chest.
