Summary
There was a time, not so long ago, when Arthur would have said that Merlin is… maybe not weak per se, but certainly not strong. He's an untrained peasant, after all, unused to the rigorous training of the sword and shield, the weight of chainmail and plated armour, the endurance built by sustained battle. He doesn’t have the obvious bulk of a knight, nor the keen reflexes lacing his muscles. He’s… well, yes, Arthur supposes he would have thought Merlin weak.
On his honour, he will never call Merlin weak after tonight.

Summary
They’ve been treading so very carefully lately, tension in every interaction, striving desperately for normalcy. Both of them are clearly afraid to rock the boat and ruin whatever progress they’ve made, but the longer Arthur observes Merlin’s sojourns to the woods for some unknown purpose (something worth lying about, again), the more difficult it becomes to hold his tongue.

Summary
Merlin is preoccupied with wiping his eyes, so he doesn’t notice Arthur right away, but Gwen does. She sees how the king’s face freezes at the sight of Merlin’s red-rimmed eyes and damp cheeks, watches as the penny drops and Arthur’s anger abandons him, leaving a distinct look of queasiness in its wake.

Summary
"Frank felt the impact before he heard it—like being punched by fire. His body lurched backward, breath ripped from his lungs as pain detonated in his abdomen and chest.
He hit the wall hard and slid to the floor.
The man screamed.
'Oh my God. Oh my God. I didn’t— I didn’t mean—'"Langdon's attempts to help a struggling patient have devastating consequences.

Summary
It starts, as most things tended to do for Mike, with a lie.
As Mike juggles cases, a run-in with a cabbie leaves him hesitating about who he can depend on.
Mike needs to understand his worth. Harvey needs to understand Mike. The janitor just likes People magazine. Mike also needs to look where he's biking.

Summary
Mike has one job: cut off Trevor. He tries, too, more for the sake of Harvey's approval than his for own success. He texts Trevor and plans to send him off for the unforeseeable future.
Trevor's not alone, though. He has a team made up himself, plus the two guys who chased him out of the office, and they are not happy.
(or: Harvey does have a heart. It just takes a little damage to his associate to jumpstart it.)

Peter pops his neck, runs a palm over his scalp. He didn't ask for this.
This is not the way his day was supposed to go.
