Random Facts: Under the weather is an expression that means 'to be ill'. 

Origin: Passengers aboard ships become seasick most frequently during times of rough seas and bad weather. Seasickness is caused by the constant rocking motion of the ship. Sick passengers went below deck, which provides shelter from the weather, but just as importantly the sway is not as great below deck, low on the ship.  And hence the term 'Under the Weather' came about.

The title plays off of the fact that Jordan is sick in this episode and that she is literally 'under the weather' when she gets trapped underground in the mines.

Quotes:

Garret: I needed a little time on my own you know.
Lily: Oh you’re entitled.  It’s a big adjustment being back.  Everyone scrutinizing your every move, second guessing you, looking over your shoulder…

Garret: No Jordan you’re sick.  Go home and go to bed.  That’s an order.
Jordan: No sorry.  I’m going to disobey that order.

Garret: I’m sorry.  Am I still the chief around here?
Jordan: Yeah last time I checked.

Garret: Is it me or have I lost my air of authority?
Jordan: You never had it.  At least not with me.  Don’t get a complex about it.  I still think you’ve got the rest of them fooled.

Garret: Nigel.  About how quickly could you set up a video link back to the morgue?
Nigel: About ten minutes ago.
Garret: Right answer.

Jordan: Hey Garret can you hear me?
Garret: Like you’re in my head.
Jordan: Some things never change. 

Garret: For God’s sake Jordan what are you doing?  Going for MVP here?

Jordan: I’m going to stay here and look for Jane Doe’s crime scene.
Woody: No you won’t.
Jordan: I wasn’t asking you.
Woody: Lightening, mud slides, falling trees, it’s way too dangerous out there right now.
Jordan: Sure when it doesn’t concern you it’s really not that important is it?

Jordan: Hey Danny.  I’m Jordan Cavanaugh.  I’m a doctor.
Danny: I hate doctors.
Jordan: Yeah, me too.

Todd: (to Jordan) Are you sure you know what you’re doing?

Danny: You saved the bullet right?
Jordan: (with a smile) Why? You wanna impress the girls?

Todd: (to Jordan) You’re crazy.
Jordan: That’s beside the point.

Todd: Should this have worked by now?
Jordan: Give it some time.
Todd: Well I’m freezing.
Danny: Hey could you stop complaining.  (to Jordan) It’s kind of wet in here.

Nigel: She should have just gone home.

Todd: Cool. (at water rushing out of mine)
Jordan: Now where’s that mine entrance?

Garret: Hold on…just hold on. (to Jordan)

Todd: I’m sorry I was so scared.
Jordan: No, you did great.  I think your parents want to take you home.
Todd: Thank you.

Woody: You never made it home.
Jordan: Ah you know me.
Woody: You okay?
Jordan: Ah yeah fine.  I hear you caught the guy he just confessed?
Woody: Yeah…I gotta get back to the station.  Charges to file…

Garret: That was stupid and reckless what you did, you know that.  You don’t listen to me.
Jordan: Come on Garret.
Garret: You do what you want.  And if you hadn’t this time those boys wouldn’t be alive now.
Jordan: All in a days work.  No big deal.
Garret: I’m still your boss and I’m telling you it was a big deal.  Own it.  I don’t know what I would have done if something had happened to you. (hug)
