Unfortunately for those of us who have become accustomed to getting a little dose of the supremely hot Dr. Robby on our TV screens every Thursday night, The Pitt just aired its season finale. While the show’s first season contained a perfectly respectable 15 episodes, it’s made me yearn for the halcyon days of the early aughts, when a single season of television was 28 episodes long (or some other such ludicrous number). I mean, what am I supposed to do now without The Pitt? Watch 15 hours straight of Grey’s Anatomy? Ugh, fine, twist my arm.
Naturally, I couldn’t let The Pitt’s Season 1 finale go by un-remarked-upon, so below, please find literally every thought I had during the run of the episode:
- God, I love these lo-fi opening credits.
- Damn, McKay is still handcuffed! These cops coming down on her for busting open her ankle monitor DURING A MASS CASUALTY suck soooooo hard.
- Dr. Robby said ACAB!
- Seriously, watching Dr. Robby chew out useless police officers and get McKay’s case dismissed (or whatever) is insanely sexy to me.
- Gloria, stop bothering my precious doctors while they work and go make yourself useful and pick up a stethoscope or something!
- In many ways, I am on the doctors‘ team.
- In many ways, the doctors are asking me to leave the ER because I am “a blogger” and “don’t know how to intubate a patient.”
- Oh, this anti-vaxxer mother is grinding my damn gears.
- I know she’s grieving her son’s serious illness, but I can’t wait for Dr. Robby to go ballistic on her.
- An anti-vaxxer mom who’s also against her son playing football…I guess a stopped clock is right twice a day?
- “I’m an asshole who’s trying to save your son’s life.” Listen to him!!!!!
- SANTOS TIME!
- Man, this whole storyline with the potentially abusive dad whose wife is secretly spiking his coffee with progesterone to keep him from harming their daughter is…rough.
- “Pelvic crush injury” does not sound fun, either.
- Nor does wearing a “pelvic binder.”
- Victoria looks fried. Which is quite fair, given that her first shift included a mass shooting and a measles outbreak.
- And, worst of all, her crush not being into her!
- Victoria’s pink hoodie has seen war.
- Where are my queens Princess and Perlah???? I need the Tagalog-subtitled gossip!
- DANA! GO HOME! You got punched in the face today! Get in a bubble bath! Light a candle and wine-mom out!
- “Doctors. Always with the me, me, me.” Hell yeah, Dana.
- Dr. Samira Mohan, you need to marry me.
- The incel kid doesn’t look any happier about his involuntary psych hold, but I get that, I guess.
- I love Santos getting roasted for her terrible bedside manner.
- Ooooh, Robby vs. Langdon smackdown!
- “I was never high, I was just treating my own withdrawal symptoms.” OK, babe!
- Ah, the classic confronted-addict move of pointing out everyone else’s problems instead of focusing on your own.
- If I were a Pitt patient in the immediate aftermath of a mass shooting, I would not be comforted by the sight of two doctors screaming at each other about which of them is more mentally and emotionally messed up.
- Oh, Dr. King, my sweet angel with the weight of the world upon your shoulders, I just want you to be able to rest!
- Are Mohan and Ellis…going to kiss?
- And what of Santos, the third probable lesbian on the show?
- Medical polyamorous triad?
- Okay, I know nobody is going to kiss on this show, because this is famously not Grey’s Anatomy, but let me believe!
- Okay, for all the jokes about Santos’s bedside manner, she’s doing pretty well with this potentially suicidal young man!
- I wish I weren’t mid-toast-bite for this close-up shot of intestines oozing out of a body.
- Finally, the anti-vaxxer mom’s husband is standing up for his son.
- Not well enough, unfortunately, because they’re transferring him to another hospital.
- Is there an anti-vaxx hospital in Pittsburgh? And is RFK Jr. on the board?
- Dr. Mohan, no! Don’t cry! I’ll fix it! I’ll fix everything!
- “I don’t require much sleep and I have a fast metabolism.” Must be nice, Dr. King!
- Robby staff speech time!
- Wait, is the day shift…over already? My heart!
- 112 mass casualty patients in four hours? My God, how are these people not already at a bar drinking heavily?
- Oh no, not Dr. Robby crying! I’ll fix everything for you too, babygirl!
- Wait, Mateo is asking Victoria out now? NOW?
- Okay, it seems like it might be friendly, but of course my girlina Victoria is daisy-fresh and ready to flirt after perhaps the most traumatic first day in history.
- IS DANA QUITTING? I will riot!
- Maybe she’s not? But she just took down all of her personal photos!
- Honestly, I’m glad this show is underscoring the massive and specific toll that the current healthcare crisis is taking on nurses.
- Not-so-fun fact: It’s estimated that 42 out of the 50 states in the United States will likely experience shortages in nursing staff by 2030!
- So, you know, if you need hospital care, try to fit it in before then. LOL. Sob.
- Santos with her hair down? As I live and breathe!
- I AM ABSOLUTELY SCREAMING and LOL-ing at Whitaker psyching himself up with a little shirtless dance.
- Such Callie Torres-living-in-the-hospital-basement energy!
- Santos and Whitaker as roommates? Oh, we are so back for Season 2.
- Oh no, Jake storyline resolution time.
- Bitch, it’s time to forgive your ex-stepfather or whatever he is. (As Cher Horowitz’s dad said in Clueless, “You divorce wives, not children.”)
- “You’re not my father, so fuck off.” Are you nine, Jake?
- Aw, Dr. King finally picked up her sister! Need a spinoff about these two queening out over pizza and spaghetti.
- This DoorDash driver who will deliver pizza and beer to the roof where the doctors hide out for an extra $20 also needs his own spinoff, IMO.
- I love a guy-to-guy pump-up speech.
- Kiss!
- Damn, Myrna’s back and all glittered up!
- Oh God, the rats are back.
- And they’re being chalked up to figments of a patient’s hallucination!
- Do doctors really just drink beer in the park after their shifts? Sounds fairly chill!
- Dr. Abbott uses a prosthetic leg? Did we know that?
- I forgot Victoria isn’t even 21 yet. Jesus.
- Everyone’s going around in a circle making fun of Whitaker, and all is right with the world…until an ambulance pulls in.
- Dr. Robby getting in trouble with the cops for his road beer would be very fitting.
- “Tomorrow’s another day.” That has never sounded more like a threat, TBH.
- Beer in hand, headphones on, little walk home unlocked. That’s our boy!
