44 Thoughts I Had While Watching ‘The Pitt’ Season 2, Episode 3

Okay, this week’s episode of The Pitt wasn’t the best one I’ve ever seen (not enough Dana, maybe? Definitely not enough Santos-Garcia lesbian energy!), but even a mid episode of this show is so much better than half the swill out there right now. Plus, there was a genuinely lovely subplot this week that I won’t spoil yet, but know that it’s being talked about. Below, find absolutely every thought I had about Season 2, Episode 3 of The Pitt:

1. Oh no, it’s the yelling guy from the end of the last episode!
2. He’s still yelling!
3. Did he have a breakdown while studying for the bar?
4. Likely thing to happen!
5. Well, at least the…priapism guy is okay now.
6. As are the fighting cousins whose whole deal I never entirely figured out.
7. Damn, they let an ASL patient wait this long without an interpretor?
8. “Use the system. It’s what it’s there for.” I mean…sort of?
9. Not to get all anti-capitalist, but I feel like the system is ultimately there to exploit its own failures for money.
10. I want this potential child abuse case to resolve favorably, and I feel like it’s not going to 🙁
11. In retrospect, I wish I weren’t drinking a smoothie during that up-close blood shot.
12. Mmm, cool, that’s…an exposed brain.
13. That’s right, Robby! Don’t ride your dumb little motorcycle anymore!
14. Garcia’s here!!!
15. Aw, I love this sweet Walmart greeter who’s trying to Walmart-greet all the patients.
16. I want a more interesting storyline for McKay this season.
17. Okay, learning from my past mistakes and putting down my smoothie for this fluid-draining scene with Louie.
18. “Sharing meds which haven’t been prescribed to you is actually a real big no-no.” OH REALLY, LANGDON?
19. Is the antagonistic vibe between Robby and Al-Hashimi turning………..sexy?
20. Ah, one of my Russian countrywomen!
21. Emma, girl, you don’t know what a samovar is? Get thee to a Russian restaurant for some borscht and pelmeni, stat!
22. Obsessed with this Russian Jewish queen interrogating Robby about his single status.
23. And MacGuyvering her own burn with honey?
24. That’s my сестра!
25. Wow, this Tree of Life reference is making me unexpectedly emotional.
26. Oh shit, Kylie, the potential abuse victim’s dad, is (finally) here.
27. Hate this dad, even if he’s not an abuser.
28. Oh my God, this kid is so cute.
29. Hey, I know what “idiopathic” means!
30. Thanks to Scrubs!
31. Why is this patient’s wife allowed to be in the room while they work on him?
32. Wow, this pill grab bag goes crazy.
33. Ugh, I love Mel.
34. Watching a bead be sucked out of this child’s nose is weirdly satisfying.
35. On another note: how do you stop a child from shoving beads up their nose?
36. I mean, I can handle it in a babysitting capacity, but if you’re a parent, there are 24 hours in a day when your child could be huffing beads. I don’t like those odds.
37. Aw, daddy convention!
38. Obsessed with Al-Hashimi using a negative tox screen to shut down this racist creep security guard.
39. Okay, this scene with Perlah where the Tree of Life survivor thanks her for the work the Muslim community of Pittsburgh did to help after the shootings is really nice.
40. Girl (Robby), stop threatening to go on sabbatical and just go on sabbatical!
41. “You’re middle-aged man. Don’t be stupid.” Yana is legitimately my QUEEN.
42. “50-ish-year-old man on a motorcycle. Very sad.” Get him again!
43. Oh God, Code Black at Westbridge.
44. Things are about to get craaaaaaaaazy!
