I saw a season 1 review from a doc awhile ago and they described Santos and Langdon's relationship as "this is what happens when two specifically different types of annoying toxic people enter eachother's orbit" and I think that still stands.
Saw a tiktok that pointed out the look on Langdon's face as he was carrying the hot car kid in was probably back pain I really hope he doesn't relapse but the combination of the pain / overall stress of being back in the pitt / Santos's treatment it wouldn't surprise me if next couple of episodes show him at the very least wrestling with the temptation
I am ok with The Pitt doing a "major character becomes a patient" storyline, but I got a feeling they might do it with more than one character in the span of a few episodes. That I think would be overkill.
Of all the subplots here I am really into what Javadi is going to do with her career. I really hope she picks neither ER or Surg, and goes with psych residency.
The show is littered with examples of the doctors becoming "patients" / getting medical treatment, just mostly in very small ways (compared to something like Gray's): Dana when she was punched, Garcia when Santos dropped the scalpel on her foot, Collins when she had the miscarriage, Joy cutting her finger with glass, Mohan last ep when she had the panic attack. Even stuff like Ogilvie having to take TB meds just from being exposed to it. Plus, even though it happened prior to the start of season 1, we already saw an extremely dramatic bigger version of it through Dr. Adamson's death! So I really hope they just keep it like that and don't make someone some huge Adamson-level life-or-death case. Working in an ER comes with all sorts of dangers and risks as it is, no need to exaggerate it
Just saw someone point how very purposeful it was of The Pitt writers to have a male nurse be the one getting arrested by ICE for trying to protect a woman (Alex Pretti)
There’s no way that scene was written/shot *after* Pretti got killed. That was less than two months ago
You could be right. Filming for season 2 wrapped 4 days before the Pretti shooting. I thought it could have been a thing they added in last second during filming for a relevant beat. Maybe their research made the show that prescient like they did with Measles in season 1.
Noticed this instantly and had to rewind and point it out to my wife. I was like "oh no." I hope he doesn't regress as a character.
It’s his first day back on the job, I think that gets overlooked in the whole premise that he might relapse later in the season. I mean I know it could certainly happen IRL but to relapse on the first day back seems a bit much from a writing standpoint.
Alex Pretti happened in January and this was certainly written and filmed way before that. Edit: According to Rolling Stone that scene was filmed in November 2025.
ICE abuse has been an issue for years and has been all over the news this past year in particular. It just doesn’t seem that wild to me that they would think of the plot of “ICE comes in and are shitheads to a patient, and one of the staff stands up to it and ends up suffering for it” in that context even before all of the Minneapolis stuff
