Have no idea how these things actually work but, the preparation seemed pretty impressive. Having Robby and Abbot there probably avoided a lot of confusion.

This was literally my favorite thing about this episode. I don't think anyone outside of those working in hospitals have any idea how prepared we are for all types of crises. My hospital is a small post acute and we drill and plan a ton. A large trauma center does an unbelievable amount of drilling and plan for these types of events. We do mock drills, table top drills, and there are plenty of small events that stand up incident command. I'm sure every hospital out there has called a lockdown for some reason. The EOC (Environment of Care) and Safety committes for every hospital are no joke. Every major weather event (especially our hurricanes) has incident command. Every single time all our departments report how many days supplies we have, deal with emergency staffing issues, etc. A hospital's preparedness level for emergencies is just below the police and fire departments.

I loved how they mentioned central supply and EVS (environmental services) in this episode. They are a very important part of keeping everything going and I don't think I've ever really heard them mentioned in a medical show other than people making out in the supply room on Gray's.

I also don't think Langdon by any means "saved the day." The only reason he didn't get kicked out is there was too much going on to deal with him.

Whew

Oh my god.

This really is the best show on tv at the moment .

Robby has held it together all day for the most part but his castle is crumbling quickly

He’s getting an Emmy nomination for sure.

Poor Dr. carter! Gonna make him start taking pain pills again.


On the real what a great episode! Better than the last. So sad about Jake's gf. Abbott is a a bad arse, Whitaker is kinda goofy and dumb but I like him, Santos is a good doc but hard to like. Im glad no one lost an arm like the doc on ER getting the blood. Not sure if David is the shooter. Langdon was acting a bit odd this episode. Im curious what they do to him after the chaos settles.

Max CEO announced a reasonable wait for season 2 compared to the other popular shows.

"The second season will premiere in January of 2026, a year later than Season 1. This model of more episodes cuts down on the gap between seasons. On the platform, we have shows like 'House of the Dragon,' 'The Last of Us' and 'White Lotus,' which, because of how they’re made, can take two years to make. What I love about something like 'The Pitt' is, I can get 15 episodes in a year. That’s a really great addition to what we’re already doing on the platform. And I’d like to do more shows in this model.

Way too much carnage for one person.

Not even close to what 1 guy did in Vegas.

Another great episode. Jake was being a bit of a bitch though.

I was coming here to post that same thing. His character is really unlikable.

Way too much carnage for a teenager to pull off would have been a better way to word it.

He didn't seem to know what he was walking into, I didn't think.

So, did the kid do ANYthing?

Who DID do the shooting? Angry, punching patient? Someone that hasn't been on screen yet?

[quote]Robby runs through every person he’s had to watch die today before he even gets to the gunshot victims[/

In his breakdown he said to Jake (after he asked Robby how he let her die - btw wtf?):

“I’m going to remember Leah long after you’ve forgotten her.”

That was some serious acting there. Best show in TV right now for me.

Wouldn’t be shocked if the season /shift ends and we don’t know the shooter

In terms of the show, it’s irrelevant, the show is about the heroes and the team and how they saved the victims and the show must go on

Reddit theory is that it was Langdon.

I don't agree with that theory. But, I did find it odd that multiple times last night it showed him looking around.
