Chapter 178, Field and Medicine
General job: Absorb Bo / Lauren into investigation / internal enforcement and hospital structure.
Connects from 177: Bo / Lauren arrive with skills and relational tension.
Core movement: Bo enters investigations / internal enforcement. Lauren enters hospital. The city gains another bridge between field and medicine.
Must carry: Emma, Kate Beckett, Clarke, Carina, Regina, possibly Lucy / Kate, Cosima / Delphine as structural neighbors.
Must not do: Do not overtake the city’s existing systems. They add muscle and complexity, not replacement parts.
Hands to next chapter: Investigation and medicine are broader, while Summer’s farm needs physical body.
