Just like that, we’ve reached the end of another exhausting shift in “The Pitt.”
Fortunately, the nurses, doctors and EMTs at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center didn’t have to endure another devastating mass-casualty event to close out 15 hours of day-into-night hospital duties.
Still, Season 2’s Fourth of July mayhem brought plenty of its own turmoil — from an unexpected ICE invasion and patient deaths to staff-wide burnout and a cyberattack that forced the already overcrowded hospital to go analog. Meanwhile, the finale culminated in the spiral of the ER’s suicidal senior attending, Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle), who’s still stepping away for a sabbatical he’s not sure he’ll return from.
Newcomer Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi (Sepideh Moafi) was initially brought in to cover Robby’s duties during his absence, much to his displeasure. But after she reveals a condition that leads to seizures — two of which she suffered during the day’s shift — Robby feels even more uneasy about leaving the ER.
Even his longtime ally, charge nurse Dana (Katherine LaNasa), doesn’t have his full trust after the way she handled nurse Emma’s (Laëtitia Hollard) coked-up attacker with that mysteriously handy sedative at the 6 p.m. hour.
