The Pitt - S02E13 - 7:00 P.M.

·1 hr 50 min·5 clips

Jim and Aaron debate whether Noah Wiley is leaving the Pit for good or secretly planning a dramatic return.

Jim and Aaron return to discuss The Pit Season 2, Episode 13, titled '7:00 P.M.' They open by addressing Noah Wiley's character arc, theorizing his sabbatical is a 'trial separation' from the hospital rather than a suicide risk. The episode's central plot involves Orlando Diaz, a diabetic patient who fell 30 feet, suffering a skull fracture and increased intracranial pressure. The hosts analyze whether Diaz's fall was an accident or a suicide attempt to relieve his family's medical debt. They delve into medical terminology like 'halo sign,' 'Cushing reflex,' and treatments such as mannitol and hypertonic saline. Another major case involves Grady Barnhill, a teenager with severe asthma where intubation risks are explained. The hosts critique a subplot where a woman, Miss Davis, suffers liver damage from excessive turmeric use, highlighting societal distrust in medical expertise. They also discuss Dr. Javadi being pressured by Robbie to assist in neurosurgery, seen as a career-defining moment. New night-shift doctors are introduced, including Dr. Cruz, an ultrasound specialist, sparking speculation about a potential season 3 focus. The episode touches on smaller cases like Digby, a homeless patient receiving compassionate care, and a teenager with magnetic earrings stuck in her septum. Doctor drama includes tensions between Robbie and Dana, Whitaker mentoring Dr. Ogilvy, and Dr. Al's possible absent seizures. The hosts compare Season 2's slower, claustrophobic feel to Season 1's high-pressure events, noting fan reactions. They conclude with thoughts on character developments, such as Duke's aortic aneurysm and Vivi's interactions, setting up future episodes.
