[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well I for one am excited that it's Pitt day. Whatever people might think about this show and the timeline stuff or weird inconsistencies, I look forward to it every week and am heavily invested in the characters.

This week I'm hoping Abbott comes back with the overweight patient, because I love Abbott and also like that patient and am rooting for him. Also hoping we get more of a focus on Robby this week. I feel like his story has been kind of on the fringes of everything all season, with indications that his mental health is bad and that people are concerned about him but also walking on eggshells a bit, and it seems like it's time to start focusing a bit more on that.

Also hoping for progress on Baby Jane Doe. [/quote]

You got your wishes, except for Baby Jane Doe!

The overweight patient is so sad. That actor is excellent. [/quote]

The scene where Howard (the overweight guy) speaks to his sister on the phone before surgery really got me. When they are rolling Howard back into the hospital and you can just hear his sister's disembodied voice saying "I forgot to tell him I love him." Oof.

I really, really, hope Howard makes it. Both because I am just rooting hard for that patient, and also because of the scene after Howard went up to surgery where Abbott is confidently saying that their excellent surgical staff would save him, and Robby says nothing but just looks skeptical. Abbot and Robby both have trauma, both deal with dark thoughts. Abbott has his vices and certainly isn't just a ray of sunshine, but he works hard to maintain his fundamental optimism even in the face of a tough job that isn't always conducive to it. Robby is clearly on the edge of a very dark place, and his cynicism and almost nihilistic attitude is eating him up.

ALSO did anyone else catch that moment when Robby was kind of between patients and sort of stops and looks around and then sneaks into the bathroom? Maybe it was just a callback to Season 1 when he had to pee for like two full episodes but kept being pulled onto urgent cases. But something about it felt ominous and I was a little surprised the camera didn't follow him into the bathroom. Compare this to a couple episodes ago when Dr. Al-Hashidi had a similar moment where something seemed off about her and she went in the bathroom, but the camera followed her and showed her calling her neurologist. I feel Robby and Al-Hashidi are being set up as foils of one another, not only in their management and doctor styes, but also in how each of them is processing and handling past trauma while working in this stressful job. We know Al-Hashidi is handling it by seeking out medical attention and calling for help when she feels she needs it. How is Robby handling it? We are only getting hints so far and most of them aren't good.[/quote]
