An anonymous client, huh? I'm feeling pretty solid about my Morgan prediction here, although it would be cool if it was someone else he knew, too. And if the anonymity is a red herring and it really is a stranger, then well played!

It's always great seeing Maggie, and you even worked in a little tease for those of us who have said we wouldn't mind seeing her get a treatment from her tiny brother at some point! I laughed when she dismissed it! That was a nice bit of lighthearted humor.

But it was great seeing them bond in that first segment. Whenever Maggie drops the teasing and shows some serious curiosity, it adds a little more depth to her character. She's extremely likable, too! I don't know Brad, but if Maggie doesn't like him, then fuck him! Thanks God for Karen!

That hug was really sweet, especially since it was highlighted that the Carters aren't a very touchy feely family like that. Such an honest, raw display of gratitude to his sister for not only working so hard but thinking of him while doing it was awesome to see from Ben. He can be a bit dense and stubborn sometimes, but he's truly a good guy!

Well, look at that! Ben finally admitted to himself that he likes Angie! He can never tell Maggie, though; the "I told you so" train would never end! Still, at least Ben can admit that everyone around them knew it before he did, so he's at least partially socially aware! And both the buildup to this grand revelation and him thinking about her afterward really fits well with this truth that he's finally accepted. The way he was thinking of her right before it felt like a real person falling in love!

I'm interested to find out how much Angie knows about Ben's living situation. Does she know his family is poor? Would that bother her at all? Would she feel guilty for going on about her problems when his are clearly more severe? I mean, her complaining about her parents trying to make her go to Harvard and Yale would feel pretty foolish if she knew the one she was complaining to was struggling to even pay college application fees! Ben clearly doesn't feel like her problems are less than hers, but I could see Angie feeling like absolute shit when she finds out the guy she's been crushing on has been struggling alongside his family just to make ends meat/

I bring this up because you really sold the Carters' poverty here. From how grateful they were the nuggets to how thin the walls were and plenty of other stuff, you can really feel how hard things are for them and get a feel for why the Carter women are putting in so many double shifts. 

It was nice to see Kimberly and Dr. Rivera each poke their heads in during this chapter just to check in with us! Dr. Rivera continuing to be impressed with Ben's adaptability to being tiny makes me feel proud of him! He was so worried about it, but it turns out he's a natural!

I'm also glad Ben questioned whether Angie opened up to him on her own or if she did so under his terms. Angie chose to talk about those things, obviously, but Ben was clearly driving the conversation. That's a gray area, at the very least! So yeah, I'm happy that Ben is starting to realize that.

Nice chapter overall! I always love to see Maggie in a chapter, and that admission on Ben's part is actually pretty huge! I wonder what he'll do with it ...

And lastly, if it is Morgan who shows up for the appointment next chapter, I don't think it'll take her long to sniff Ben out. She knows him too well and will be able to recognize his mannerisms. Hell, if it's her, she might be doing this because she thinks this is his new job. She may have even requested the same technician that her good friend Angie had, just to confirm her suspicions ...
