Asked to move a final round because of a family emergency and spent two days convinced I'd blown it

My dad had a hospital thing the morning of my final round. I emailed the recruiter about four hours before, apologised roughly six different ways in three sentences, and fully expected to get quietly dropped from the pipeline.

She replied in twenty minutes with three new slots and "hope everything's alright".

Rescheduled for the following Tuesday and it went better than it ever would have on a day I was falling apart in a hospital corridor. Posting this mostly for whoever's about to white-knuckle through an interview they shouldn't be sitting for. Just ask. The ones worth working for will move it.
