8:07 PM. On speakerphone, Romano yells at Elizabeth to get up to surgery. Elizabeth yells back that she'll be there as quickly as she can, and that she's with a critical patient. Romano yells at her to find someone else now. Melted Mask Man has apparently stabilized, and Elizabeth tells Carter to run some additional tests and find him a burn-unit bed. Carter asks, "What about him?" and gestures to Nathan. Elizabeth says, "Yeah, what about him," and brushes past Nathan on her way out. Nathan hurries after her and gives her some test results for Melted Mask Man; he then asks whether she's headed up to surgery on the nec fash. Elizabeth says that she is. Nathan guesses that he can go home, then. Elizabeth says that she's done, but that he still owes eight hours. Nathan says that he's on rounds at 6 AM, but Elizabeth tells him, as she gets in the elevator, "Welcome to Surgery." The elevator doors close, and Nathan gives a tired sigh, then stretches his jaw muscles.
The other elevator doors open, and Terry (Melted Mask Man's partner) walks out. He tells Nathan that he's looking for someone who was brought in, and Nathan tells him to go to Admit. Terry looks confused, so Nathan offers to show him. Nathan asks who he's looking for, and Terry says he's looking for Melted Mask Man. Things are still very busy at Admit, where a nun asks Pratt to be directed to the victims of the fire. Pratt says, "Keep your habit on, my man. You'll get to be with your drag queen friends soon enough." The nun explains that she has food and housing vouchers for the displaced. Pratt apologizes. Nathan gets Pratt's attention and explains that Terry is with Melted Mask Man. Pratt gives a disgusted sigh. Could it be any more predictable that Pratt is a homophobe? Wouldn't it have been more interesting to have Gallant, or Luka, or someone who the audience doesn't already hate, exhibit homophobic tendencies?
