That and I'm banking on Nico/Taiga being a thing, at least in the fandom. Seriously, just replace doctor with boyfriend and their last exchange this episode still makes perfect sense.

Of course, I said the same thing about Kaito/Mai and look how that turned out... At the very least they haven't been implying something between two characters who act more like siblings than lovers all series...

Wait, isn't Taiga in his late 20s or something? I mean I guess toei could still make it the pairing work depending on how old Nico is, but for me the age gap makes it seem more like the writers are trying to recreate the Daisuke and Gon relationship from KR Kabuto.
