Oh, catching up on J&B. Jesus, the disappointment that Marcus's dad shows and feels. And knowing that Marcus did it, leaving Jack behind to protect Jack. Way more heartbreaking than Grace and Tom.
I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
You in California get paid for the lunch break?
No, not generally. Though it was common in Boston when I worked there in the 80s.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I was thinking of non-hourly workers, Plei. Although yeah, now that I think of it, at several jobs that only gave me 1/2 for lunch, I was paid for it. If I wanted an hour, I wasn't paid for the second 1/2 hour.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Kat -- I don't find the Grace and Tom upsetting at all, because they were way too stupid to keep my sympathy.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
ita what goes on between a doctor and his/her patient is confidential. I've not seen an exception. A parent could refuse to allow a doctor to treat their kid, but once they're there, the doctor (and I don't want to say can't but again it would be unethical if they did) can't share that information. I remember a girl in high school who wouldn't go to the doctor for a UTI because she was afraid her parents would think she'd had sex. She went to see their GP, who couldn't tell her parents what they'd discussed, but told her sex was not the only way to get a UTI. Exactly why you need that kind of discretion.

yes, I agree about the sympathy for Tom/Grace. Seriously. But poor Marcus.

I can see it both ways, Heather. I'm the sort that comes down on the side of more information for the parents, but I had a good situation and few secrets.
Kat -- you know, I had to console myself with "At least Marcus is still alive!" It's not much, but it's more than Jack or Bobby. It was harsh, and well acted.

Heather, this article makes it look like there's some wiggle room, but not as much as the show used.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Sounds like a trip to House of Pies might be in order.
