TVLINE | What sort of thoughts are running through LimР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs mind in the immediate aftermath of the crash? Something is going on here, and something is not quite right, but IР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћm certainly not like this guy.Р Р†Р вЂљРЎСљ ThatР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs all part of the job description, so thatР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs not what the problem is. IР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћm supposed to see illness, IР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћm supposed to see death, and IР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћm supposed to see people getting better. When Lim looks at that, I donР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћt think sheР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs making the connection. I think it would be too on the nose if she stood there and went, Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™Wait a second, I also have PTSD.Р Р†Р вЂљРЎСљ That guy went to war and he saw death in a completely different way - in a very violent way. TVLINE | Do you think Lim ever fully recognized the parallels between BenР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs struggles and her own? ItР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs like, Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™Oh great, tell me more about your pain,Р Р†Р вЂљРЎСљ and at the same time, Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™I feel you, sister,Р Р†Р вЂљРЎСљ because I also feel that. We were both in complete agreement that of course thatР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs how would feel. Antonia and I talked about that while we were rehearsing the scene. Was it a conscious choice to play that unspoken conflict in the scene?

I got the sense that she was sad, but she didnР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћt know how to feel about her ex in conversation with Claire.

When Claire mentioned Melendez by name, there was definitely a look in LimР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs eye. I also have feelings about Melendez and my own struggles that I am choosing not to share. And by the way, do I really want to hear about how someone else had PTSD when that person was also my love? ThereР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs just so many different dynamics at play. Lim struggles with how to receive that and what to do with it. TVLINE | Claire tried to intervene - she even revealed her own PTSD diagnosis, and how Melendez helped her through her time of need - but Lim shut her down. ItР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs a culmination of, and sheР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs cracking. I am not unique, I am not special, I am holding it together.Р Р†Р вЂљРЎСљ As you see in the last scene, she just canР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћt do thatР Р†Р вЂљР’В¦ It all falls apart and this is the beginning of the break. Every hospital, head of hospital and chief of surgery, everybody is feeling this. I have a lot on my plate, but everybodyР вЂ™Р’В does. The first part of this episode is her just feeling like, Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™Look, IР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћm tired, IР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћm overrun, but everybodyР вЂ™Р’В is. SheР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs got quite a large role, and sheР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs in charge of a lot of staff, so itР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs not OK in her mind to have any kind of issue. Part of LimР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs struggle is being vulnerable, which I think is made clear in this episode. TVLINE | Why do you think Lim is so hesitant to admit to herself that sheР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs not OK? Below, LimР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs portrayer, Christina Chang, discusses LimР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs reluctance to seek help and the additional underlying trauma associated with you-know-whoР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs death, and previews how LimР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs crash will impact the character moving forward.
