Adam Levine cracks wise about frenemy Blake Shelton's former throne

'What?'
'Well, those of us who save lives for a living believe strongly that masks minimize risk when it comes to spreading disease and infection. But I want to respect your beliefs, so what do you think? With or without for surgery? Without?'
'Um… I want with.'
'Good call.'
Langdon (Patrick Ball) confronts — and talks some sense into — an anti-masker who earned herself a fight bite in chairs
'You weren't careful with it!'

One does not tell Marie Willis (Tonya Pinkins) what to do — you'd think everyone on this show would know that by now
'I'm just saying, it would be nice to know that you got there safe, instead of hoping you made it safe, and wondering, and worrying.'
'If you weren't worrying about me, you'd be worrying about something else.'
'Yes, but that would be a worry of my own choosing. Not one that you chose for me.'
Cara (Helen Mirren) is adamant that she — and not Jacob (Harrison Ford) — decide what path her anxiety takes
