‘Station 19’ features Carina DeLuca (Stefania Spampinato) in a larger role. We see a devastated Carina cowering as she sits fully dressed in the shower. She tells her partner Maya Bishop (Danielle Savre) that she can’t tolerate anything too soft and too comfortable at the moment and therefore she just can’t sleep in a bed.
Sleep, however, is the only thing that can save her from the bottomless guilt that she feels over Andrew DeLuca’s death. Maya tells her to just scream out her pain, she says your brother died, you can disturb the neighbors. Carina says he didn’t just die, he was murdered.
We then see Carina spiraling in her grief. She comes out of the bathroom with a suitcase. She says she has to go to Italy because she has to tell their father in person about Andrew’s death. She says that if she doesn’t tell him in person, she’s not sure how her father who struggles with mental illness, will take it. Maya tries to calm her down and tells her she can’t travel during a pandemic.
Maya then takes over all the other arrangements, including the funeral service and paperwork to prevent Carina from feeling too overwhelmed. Carina then asks her if she can call her father as well for her. Maya tells her that’s one thing you have to do on your own.
