Season 1\u2019s climax was marked by the horrific Pitt Fest shooting and the absolute chaos that unfolded in the ER as a result. There\u2019s nothing quite so dramatic on tap this year. Instead, our deeply disshelveled doctor heroes are simply dealing with the lingering impact of the ransomware attack and trying to finally make it home to celebrate what remains of the Fourth of July holiday. It\u2019s a disappointing change of pace in some ways, but one that also makes room for some terrific character moments.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Obviously, this episode is a big one for Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle), as it becomes even more clear not all is well for him psychologically. This time last season, Robby was in the throes of a major panic attack and melting down due to COVID-related PTSD. Again, nothing quite so overtly dramatic this time, but there\u2019s still the sobering admission that he\u2019s harboring suicidal thoughts. It\u2019s a reveal that both builds on the blowout fight between Robby and Dana (Katherine LaNasa) last week (where he walked away telling her, \u201cI might not come back.\u201d) and places a lot of his Season 2 behavior in a new light. Even his callous approach to the plight of Orlando Diaz (William Guirola) makes more sense now (though I still agree that Orlando probably attempted suicide). <\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-2228525885\"\/><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">The Biggest TV Shows Coming to Every Streaming Service in 2026<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"The Biggest TV Shows Coming to Every Streaming Service in 2026&#10;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#10;New Year, new tube.

One man is confronting his own mortality, while the other wrestles with the fact that he doesn\u2019t really want to be alive anymore. As much as these recent episodes have managed to deflate the show\u2019s carefully constructed sense of tension, scenes like those bring their own sort of dread to the table.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Speaking of tension and dread, one medical case rises above all others in that department in Episode 14. I found myself gripping my chair throughout much of the sequence where Langdon (Patrick Ball) and his team were responding to the patient with the dislocated vertebra. So much could have gone wrong there. In the end, it proves to be a triumphant moment for a character who really deserved a win at this point.    <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Those scenes aside, Episode 14 hearkens back to the earliest chapters of Season 2 in that it\u2019s surprisingly humor-focused. Again, not the best for building tension, but that\u2019s clearly not all the writers are interested in at this stage in the endgame. And in some ways, the humor does make sense. These characters have just served through a shift from hell. Anything to relieve some tension and get through these last, agonizing minutes. <\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\">\n<aside class=\"card jsx-1339469126 jsx-1178573261 box jsx-2627838217\" data-cy=\"aside\">\n<h3 data-cy=\"title3\" class=\"title3 jsx-12333944 jsx-3517023867\">What We Thought of The Pitt Season 2, Episode 13<\/h3>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-313219616\"><span><img alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image article-image article-image-full-size jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/span><\/figure>\n<p><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;The Pitt Season 2 finds itself in a bit of a weird place in Episode 13. Rather than moving toward any sort of dramatic crescendo, the series takes a big step back and allows the tension in the ER to ease off. We can hope that this is all part of some larger plan for the final leg of the season, but it&#8217;s a bit frustrating nonetheless. Still, there&#8217;s plenty to enjoy this week, particularly with the renewed focus on the Orlando Diaz case and the big blowup between Robby and Dana. But can the series restore its momentum in the final two episodes?&#8221; -Jesse Schedeen, 04\/03\/2026<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Click here to read our full review.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">And even amid the humor, there are moments where the facade cracks and things grow darker again. Case in point: Whitaker (Gerran Howell) blowing up at Langdon in the break room. Langdon isn\u2019t necessarily the character who most deserves to be the subject of Whitaker\u2019s wrath, but even this good-natured farmboy can only be pushed so far before he finally snaps. It\u2019s a rather startling shift for a guy who just last week was seen patiently coaching poor Ogilvie through his own psychological breakdown.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Episode 14 ends with a welcome pivot back to the subplot concerning Dr. Al-Hashimi\u2019s (Sepideh Moafi) health. It\u2019s good to see we\u2019re finally going to address that little crisis head-on, though I worry it\u2019ll be a case of too little, too late in the end. One of the bigger flaws with Season 2 has been the show\u2019s reluctance to properly flesh out the new doctors and med students. Dr. Al-Hashimi hasn\u2019t been given enough attention, and what she has received has often placed her in an unnecessarily antagonistic light. I\u2019m hoping the season finale can address that problem as much as possible and round out her storyline on a positive note.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/the-pitt-season-2-episode-14-800-pm-review-recap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warning: This review contains full spoilers for The Pitt Season 2, Episode 14!
