The Pitt - 2x11 - 5:00 P.M." - Episode Discussion

Noah putting on an absolute masterclass with the slight shift in his facial expression and then subtly looking down. Gut punch.

once i saw the motorcycle in ep 1 i thought he'd get in an accident, but they have to do some sort of swerve with the "hes gonna kill himself" angle thats become quite apparent.. don't see how dr robby can get written off here

When did we hear this?

i also noticed this - great eye. i thought maybe he knew the kid or mom, but could point to a relapse later on

Yes! I was like that was a weird shot… then remembered his back

I feel like people underestimate how much "do not be me," is often genuine advice.

Wasn’t his baggage from inside the hospital though?

Hey now, that was *inside* the workplace baggage.

People were gang piling on him calling him misogynistic and sexist and hypocrite and all kinds of shit and im like.. hes a fucked up human being. JesusFC. Just because he's the protagonist doesn't mean hes a perfect saint.

Wow it's almost like he knows from experience the way it effects people

Also, bringing in your pal to your hospital to get checked-BY YOU- which is never a good idea as was already pointed out in earlier episode. And now his friend is in trouble and Robby - they need to cut off his roof access.

I saw some comments pointing out he's got the same sort of NA bracelet as Langdon has on, so, probably he's using that as an excuse to avoide opiates.

Damn, if I ever dislocate a joint, shoot me up with the maximum you can ethically use on me.

Getting Cutchs 300th stolen out of your hands can really build in some traumatic responses.

at a PITTSBURGH PIRATES game. congrats on having local pride but bro it’s not going for that much lol

Reminded of Lucy immediately. I really hope there's a happier ending though.

not having a comma after F*** really made me dislike you hard for a bit there.

The Lannisters send their regards

She also wrote Louie's death episode.

St. Denis Medical.

Scrubs!

Jeopardy!

Stumble!

Scooby-Doo

Def agree with Scrubs as the perfect chaser. Really brings the silly with enough of a tone shift to feel lighter and let the pulse slow lol

After that particular episode? I think even Requiem For A Dream might just about lighten my mood.

A rapidly emptying bottle of wine.

Going back through Futurama. ZOIDBERG!!

More Pitt!

Shrinking or Leverage redemption

I’m knees deep in Pokopia after watching the episode. These Pokemon cannot hurt me or make me stressed.

Good luck

Good luck. Lost my grandfather to a ruptured aortic aneurysm. The mortality rate on a ruptured aortic aneurysm are no f****** joke so I'm glad you're getting it treated. Hopefully they can schedule you for a surgery quickly and you heal well.

Agree. People generally don't like Santos, and she blames that on the fact that she turned Langdon in and not on her personality, which can be an irritant. If Langdon confessed to everyone and most people forgave him, it would drive Santos nuts. Also, I have to double-check, but I think she said only three people in the hospital know what Langdon did. Didn't she also tell Garcia?

This show does such a great job giving everyone things to like and being annoyed at them about. Very 3 dimensional. Santos is right to have some hesitations about Langdon, but she’s also a hothead and not respecting the hierarchy in general.

I honestly just hate her lol she has a few good moments but is a jerk with basically everyone and blames Langdon for it 10months later. She didn't even know he was going back to the ER until he showed up. Even her gf told her to get her shit together and be professional. Now if after apologizing (when you clearly can see Langdon is trying to get better and what not) she fucks with him or something happen I will be so piss!! Robby said rehab and meetings (he's doing it!)!

What does "right to transparency" even mean? She's just holding a grudge against him and wants to see him suffer. Her wanting him to "confess" to everyone isn't about justice; it's about wanting him to be embarrassed. > shame could act as a deterrent for others with similar ideas That's silly. Shame is not a deterrent. In fact, shame has the exact opposite effect. What you want is for people to feel happy and nurtured, and then they're able to make good choices. Plus I don't think that there are a large number of employees on the cusp of getting addicted to medication and stealing drugs from the hospital, so this doesn't even make sense. > there is a precedent set for transparency all around No there isn't. No one's really entitled to the personal information of anyone else. There was a whole plotline about that in the last couple of episodes where Mel wasn't entitled to know anything about her sister's medical treatment. Yes, you are entitled to know if your coworker is unable to perform their job, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. To the contrary, *Santos* is the one who appears unable to do her job because of her emotional outbursts. > here is some extra work to make up for it, I really don't think they would be allowed to or would want to give him "extra work" as penance for stealing drugs from the ER. That makes no sense. > I think what she wants is for him to become a pariah. I think that's a shame because it doesn't help her, and she seems like a good doctor who could be great if she got out of her own way. Bingo! I should've read your whole comment before I started replying. It has nothing to do with justice. That's why when that surgeon told Santos off last episode for acting like a child, Santos instead ignored that advice and kept on with her grudge. Santos is extremely immature and is throwing tantrums at work. I agree 100% she *could* be a good doctor, but she needs to grow up. I really hope we see a more mature version of her in Season 3. Fantastic character to watch on screen.

“Bottle it all up as tight as you can”

That didn't bother me as much as Dr. Mohan saying something like "maybe I don't belong in the ER" and him just... Not saying anything. As if showing that he also thinks she shouldn't work there.

He always had that issue, no?

Pretty sure that was the point

I can’t believe Robby gave them as much leeway as he did. Definitely expected him to insist on them unmasking.

John Wells himself talked about HBO's request.

When the credits rolled yelled "no!" I was so immersed.

To keep it nice, I already didn't like ICE before this and this made me like ICE even less. I knew it was going to make me angry, but I underestimated just how angry.

>Al hashimi reminds me of a velociraptor. You could say she's a.... clever girl

She’s always just around the corner, or right behind you.

Maybe that explains why I have the hots for her.

I watched with my wife (a nurse) and our 22-year-old daughter. We all saw the combative drunk guy waking up and said, "Oh, sh\*t!"

and an a******

I've never seen someone rock a nose piercing that well.

Dont remind me, I am trying to function over here

At least they don't make us wait three years for a new season.

I guess because he was sedated and due to the chaos of everything missed restraining him 🤷 or that he would freak out more when awakened as he’s drunk angry. Don’t think waking up and immediately putting a nurse in a headlock was high on the list

This could have been a toned down version considering how hard the writers like to go on certain topics tbh lol

Tbf showing agents willingly take someone to a doctor is showing .01% more humanity than is believable

I mean, the ICE agents took the woman to the ER and even removed her handcuff for the exams, that's much nicer than the trigger-happy ones that are roaming around in real life.

Maybe the person thought the ICE agents should have started gunning down everyone in the ER.

I mean, it was balanced if you ask me, they show us why only certain people join the ICE, they are bullies, they might have felt "weak" so they just chose to terrorize and torture people, the tall dude was also offended when robby made him understand how people feel about them.

Yes!! I saw that and immediately was like "Ooh this is where the 'Dr J. TikTok' stuff was leading!" I'm so interested to see what's going to happen with that!

It was bound to happen, she puts to much time of hers into " protect her" that she doesn't make time for her to have a life.

Technically this is still the day she got flirted with by that robber, and had to admit she doesn’t really have a life outside her sister. That was at 8am and this is her 5pm. I do wish the show wouldn’t make it seem like she’s incapable as a doctor. That patient she’s been avoiding is even more fucked now that Jesse is gone. I was VERY worried they were going to shoot Jesse and have the ER team work on him. This was filmed before Minneapolis, I wonder if they would have decided on that if they wrote this episode two months later. Jesse basically did exactly what Pretti did, even said the same thing.

Idk if she was jealous so much as afraid of being left alone after she tries so hard to be a good sister

But she loves that restaurant! 🙄

Not a nurse, a clerk, but I said the same thing when I saw it too.

Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t he order more than the dose that the patient needs and that extra is what he stole? Iirc that’s how Santos noticed in the first place, the questionably high orders. So it wouldn’t be technically affecting his work treatment wise (if I’m not misremembering)

I didn't even think about the fact that he was stealing drugs from patients, and I definitely didn't realize that only a few people know about the stealing. All season I've been rolling my eyes at Robby and Santos, but now I realize they have good reasons for feeling as they do.

It’s a good highlight that shows how some of us want restorative justice, while others just want blind punitive justice.

I’m waiting for which screw up will knock her down a few pegs this season. It’s going to be the charts or Langdon saving her from some massive mistake, I’m sure.

If there's one thing this season has shown, it's that Robbie plays favorites, and he treats his favorites very differently from the rest. 

Mohan is a senior resident, she is held to a higher standard.

On the one hand, she was right to report Langdon. He was a danger to the hospital. On the other hand, holy cow, I think she is so projecting her own insecurities on him. Almost everyone knows why Langdon was gone already. Robby, Dana, McKay and Garcia have shown that they know. You know busy bodies Perlah and Princess dug around to find the truth. The only ones who probably don't know are Mel and the newbies. I bet even Whitaker knows because he lives with Santos and she probably griped about it. Calling him a "golden boy" when so many people are walking on egg shells around him. When Robby is shunning him. She is using him an excuse on why people are snubbing her. Never once does she ask herself, "Could it be that I just suck?" Nope. Instead, she snips, snides and rolls her eyes at everyone.

The radiologist was also missing… hmmm
