WARNING: spoilers for The Pitt season 2 episode 7 forward.
I knew it was solely a matter of time till the Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle) and Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi’s (Sepideh Moafi) tentative rivalry spilled out into the remainder of the ER. Though The Pitt season 2 has softened the bond between them, the choice to hurry in procedural modifications has backfired.
Not solely is that this barely disappointing as a result of it was so clearly arrange — the hit HBO Max present is traditionally good at blindsiding us — however as a result of the episode’s ultimate moments took the impression out of an integral earlier scene that was simply probably the most delicate, emotional and weak in The Pitt‘s historical past.
The Pitt season 2 episode 7’s cyber assault scare detracted consideration from Dana’s sexual assault affected person
Final week, episode 6 put the nurses’ humanity and timeless empathy within the highlight, with the workforce spearheaded by dream lady Dana (Katherine LaNasa). This week, she’s liable for the welfare of a sexual assault sufferer, strolling her by means of the method from the second the affected person steps foot within the door.
It is uncommon that we get to see one thing not often spoken about portrayed so precisely on a public scale. The lady in query is terrified, making an attempt to placed on a courageous face and whistle by means of the method as quick as she will be able to. Dana is precisely the comforting face you need on this state of affairs, retaining her voice calm whereas speaking by means of each motion she makes.
Even when the lady instantly panics, claiming she would not wish to undergo with the assault package as a result of the suspect is “only a pal,” Dana stays unfazed. For these of us watching who’ve by no means been in that state of affairs however continuously have the worry of it behind their thoughts, it was a worthwhile training.
As a substitute of letting us sit within the second, The Pitt instantly launched the specter of a cyber assault, quashing any emotional introspection that the prior scene let construct up. It is one thing that simply may have been left till episode 8, but it surely’s clearly too tempting to create a soap-opera worthy cliffhanger.
I hope Dana, her workforce and her sufferers get as a lot airtime in The Pitt season 2 episode 8 – not simply as an appreciation for his or her work, however usually for being the very best individuals on this godforsaken hellhole. Hopefully the present would not sensationalize one thing else as an alternative…
