We’re not ready to say goodbye to this season, but alas, it’s time to power through the season finale.

If you’ve checked out our The Pitt Season 1 Episode 15 Review, you’ll know just how much we loved this episode.

But for now, let’s break down every scene of the hour.

They still have my girl McKay in cuffs, and I am livid already, and we’re only three seconds in.

She makes her plea, and Abbot lowkey looks like he’s about to go to war when Robby comes up, tired and weary, trying to figure out what’s going on.

The cops holding McKay are kinda rude and being ridiculous. Fortunately, the cops who were still there for their friend who got shot walk up when Robby is reasoning with the cops, and Robby tells them to do something since they wouldn’t have been able to save their friend without McKay.

The cop agrees and tells the others to let McKay go as long as she handles everything tomorrow. Our girl isn’t going to the clinker.

We also learn that she only has this stupid ankle monitor because of a custody dispute and them thinking she was a flight risk. Are you kidding me?

Gloria walks up after the kerfluffle, asking if she even wants to know, and she asks what the status is of everything. Robby runs everything down. Gloria says she’s impressed and that they have to turn patients over to the night shift now.

The ER is back open for walk-ins.

Robby asks Mel if she’s ready to give the Peds patient to Shen and go home, but she wants to stick around. She talks to him about the parents and their behavior.

Robby eventually asks to speak with the father outside. He hopes to get through to him so maybe he can do something.

Robby walks him through the hospital and to the morgue, where all the bodies still are. It’s another attempt for Robby to make his plea, and the father gets upset and says he’s an asshole and leaves.

Santos is still working with Ellis on a patient where she wonders if he hurt himself.

Langdon comes up to Robby and wants to talk and thinks he can convince Robby not to report him.

Robby and Abbot help a victim with a crush injury. He was unloading equipment when he got pinned.

Ellis and Shen come in to see the two of them work. They’ll stabilize the guy while they handle what’s happening at the front.

Santos talks to Max, Blue Boy, wondering if he took something and that’s what poisoned him or if he tried to take his own life.

Santos suspects it, but he won’t open up about it.

Javadi and Mohan are in the elevator together and Javadi is shocked that Mohan still seems so energized and ready to go all in, but Javadi may be put off medicine for good.

Hector, the Crush victim, isn’t doing good, and he’s bleeding out. They still don’t have blood.

Dana and the night shift charge nurse checked through all the patients, and one of the patients wasn’t in the bed where they thought.

Dana talks to Whitaker and Mel about it, where Whitaker gives the most “stating the obvious” line about not being their Asian female patient ever. Whitaker is truly a gift.

Dana puts him in charge of finding the patient since she claims he’s the closest they have to a bloodhound. Not because he looks like an adorable, if perpetually exhausted puppy, but because he was great with the rat.

Langdon tries to talk to Dana while she’s still trying to figure out where the missing patient is when he finally convinces her to talk to him in private.

Langdon, beloved, we don’t have time for this. He asks her what she’s been hearing, trying to determine whether she knows about his drug issue.

He presses her to see what she knows, and she admits she didn’t know anything and she didn’t ask. She tells him to go home and get rest and she asks for her to have his back.

She tells him that she’s not even sure she’ll be coming back after tonight because she’s done. She’s getting too old for all of this. Dana is tapped out.

Langdon pivots to telling her that she can’t quit. He asks her to vouch for him since Robby thinks he’s a drug addict.

She asks if he is, and he denies it, and he admits that he screwed up and he’s scared. Dana tells him to trust Robby and that he’ll figure it out.

The measles patient’s parents ask how he’s doing, and the mother says that they’re making moves to ship him to their family doctor. Mel tells Robby, who says to let them, while Shen tells him to hold things off.

Abbot is ready to head out since it’s still supposed to be his day off, and others take notice that Mohan seems too energetic as she goes looking for new patients.

She doesn’t want to go home, and McKay tells her that she’s running on an adrenaline high and will crash. She reminds Mohan that this job shouldn’t be her life.

McKay goes in to talk to David again. He’s still upset that he’s not the shooter but he’s still stuck in a hold. He asks her to let him out of there.

She opens up to him about how it feels to be afraid every day for your physical safety. He admits he had a taste of that today, but she tells him that she feels that every day for half the people she meets because that’s every woman’s life.

Santos talks to him about the hit list against women. He denies it at first, but she continues telling him that he has to act like an adult now because they’ll treat him like one, and this is his chance to turn things around. She wants him to figure out why he wrote what he did and work on himself.

Robby sees McKay in there talking to David. He asks her about it. He still doesn’t seem to agree with how she’s handled things, and he tells her to go home and not come back tomorrow until after she’s resolved the ankle monitor situation.

Santos tells Ellis that she thinks Max, Blue Man, needs a psych evaluation. She wants to stay to talk to him again because she doesn’t want Max to slip through the cracks.

Langdon finds Robby outside and thanks him for letting him come back. Langdon mentions that he was never high; he was managing his own withdrawal symptoms, and he didn’t want to go through the official channels because he didn’t want it on his record. it affected his career and when he tried to get jobs.

Robby reminds him that he could’ve and should’ve come to him. Langdon pleads with him because he doesn’t want to lose his medical license and mentions second chances. Robby comes in heavy with tough love, saying that Langdon needs rehab, random drug tests, and mandatory AA.

Langdon lashes out at him and says that Robby is messed up, too, and has complete meltdowns. Langdon brings up the breakdown in Peds and mentions that a night shift nurse saw him in there. He uses that to jab at Robby when Robby tells him that the job will screw them all up if he lets it, and Langdon lets it.

Robby is heated and angrily goes back inside. Langdon didn’t make a strong case about not behaving like an addict with deflection and lashing out. Oof.

Langdon may have earned Robby’s impassioned “Fuck you” before he heads inside. Just saying.

We’re not in half an hour, and I’m emotionally drained, but Abbot checks in with Robby and tells him he maybe shouldn’t have taken a patient into the morgue. But Gloria comes in saying that the two ER Cowboys need to talk to the press now. LEAVE ROBBY ALONE!

The crush patient, Hector, is now unstable, so the “cowboys” are back in it. Walsh says they made a mistake. Walsh needles Robby about not training residents right. OK, I take it back. Walsh is starting to get on my nerves, and I’m kicking her out of the Kickass Night Shift Club.

Whitaker find his patient, who was apparently out for a smoke. Something he doesn’t approve of, while the measles patient’s father tells Mel that they’re going to do the spinal tap. Finally!

Ellis apologizes for giving Hector too much blood, and he sends her out of the room as they try to figure out how to save the patient. Robby seems totally out of it when he says that, maybe he’s thinking about Leah and that he coudl’ve given her too much blood.

Ellis tells Mohan that she needs to go home because she keeps trying to help, but she needs to unwind.

Santos tries talking to Max, Blue Boy, again. She asks if he witnessed the shooting and that he was in the parking lot. She opens up to him about a good friend who went through some stuff with her.

An older person took advantage of both of them, and her friend took her own life. She expresses being grateful that she didn’t do the same, but she hates that she couldn’t stop her friend. She says life is hard, but it gets better.

Max finally admits that he doesn’t want to be alive anymore, and Santos grabs his hand and tells him that they’ll get him to help.

Santos gets a win, and I respect it.

Abbot and Walsh perform a procedure on Hector. Shen and Robby watch. Meanwhile, Mel and Ellis are doing the spinal tap on Fynn.

They find out when the mother comes in that she doesn’t want the spinal tap; the father does it without her. She angrily leaves, and the husband apologizes for her.

Others still notice that Robby is off, and Abbot tries to cover for him.

Robby stops to talk to Dana. She says the cops called her and said that they arrested Doug Driscoll and wanted to know if she would press charges.

He asks her if he learned anything about him today. He’s paranoid about the breakdown comment.

Ellis calls Abbot in for a teenage girl who fell and has a fork stuck in her nose. Abbot says they’ll call in Shen, the utensils expert, and Ellis gets a photo for “official” but not really records.

Mohan is in the bathroom crying, finally coming down from that adrenaline high. There’s still blood in the bathroom leading out the door and other things.

Mel asks if Mohan is okay and she admits that the day is catching up to her. She wonders how Mel and the nurse are still going, and Mel says she doesn’t require much sleep.

Dana assembles the day shift folks so Robby can debrief. He gives a speech commending everyone for their great work and rising to the occasion. Robby tells them how proud he is, and he starts getting emotional. He thanks them for everything. He tells them to go home and let themselves cry, as they’ll feel better with grief leaving the body.

Mateo asks Javadi for a drink after work. He says that some of them grab a beer in the park across the street after work.

David appears to be talking to someone finally. McKay leaves and talks to her son.

Santos notices Whitaker hearing somewhere else, maybe to the roof? When she’s trying to leave.

Dana packs up her area and takes some of her photos. She may be really done this time. She gives the room one final look and gets emotional as she heads out.

Dana finds Robby in the hallway staring at the memorial wall at his mentor’s picture and living if he did something wrong then. Dana reminds him that his mentor would’ve been proud of him. She tells him to give himself some grace, the same grace he gives other people. Robby says he’ll see her on Monday, but she doesn’t answer.

Santos followed Whitaker to a room where he apparently seemed to be living or sleeping on an abandoned hospital floor. She found him cleaning up, dancing, and singing.

Santos realizes that he doesn’t have a place to live and a car, either. She offers up her spare room at her house. He says he can’t afford to pay rent, but she says that she would just need him to clean and fix things. He can move in.

She tells him he can move on that night.

Robby checks in with Jake. Jake is still angry and says they aren’t friends, and Robby isn’t his father, so he tells him to fuck off.

Leah’s parents are at the hospital, so Robby has to go talk to them. He braces himself for this exchange. We don’t see it; we just hear them crying as Robby walks out, and he’s truly on the edge now. He heads upstairs towards the roof, crying.

Mel picks up her sister. Her day isn’t even over, as her excited sister mentions that they have to keep up with the tradition of going out to eat and watching a movie that night. They go for spaghetti, bring home pizza for takeout, and watch Elf for the millionth time.

In a full circle moment, Abbot finds Robby on the roof in his spot. He mentions that GrubHub won’t deliver to the roof, but a doordash he has a deal with will bring him something up.

Abbot commends him on the speech and says he wishes he would’ve given it but then says he wouldn’t have. Abbot says he finally understands why they keep coming back; it’s in their DNA, and it’s what they do. They’re the bees that protect the hive.

Robby denies it, thinking that he broke. Abbot tells him that he didn’t break.

Abbot gives Robby exactly the talk that he needs. I love them so much with my whole heart.

Abbot tells Robby how much of a rockstar he was that night — they all did. He tells him to accept the compliment, but Robby just wants to stay quiet. After a moment, they agree to have their drink.

The ER is full as they’re leaving, and they bump into a cop who brings Myrna back in because she had a seizure. Myrna is back with the levit and all is right in the world.

Abbot shares that he’ll be right back to work around 2. When Robby asks if he’ll ever give up the night shift, he says no. He says his therapist thinks he finds comfort in the darkness. Ha!

He offers to give him the number to his therapist. Initially, Robby thinks he’s joining, but Abbot reminds him that he hasn’t jumped yet.

Robby and Abbot meet the nurses in the park and get their beers. Abbot sits on the park bench, rolls up his pant leg, and takes off his prosthetic leg. This man couldn’t be more badass if he tried. This is insane. I love it!

They toast to the Pitt crew and all the people they saved and to those they couldn’t save. They hope they don’t have to go through another night like that again, knowing they probably will.

Javadi, Mohan, and Mateo show up too. They give Javadi her first beer even though she still isn’t old enough and agree not to tell her mother.

Princess gives Abbot wet wipes to wipe all the blood off of his prosthetic leg and sneaker.

Robby starts laughing and when they ask him why, he says he’s just remembering that it was Javadi’s first shift. Abbot calls it Baptism by Fire, and they tell her that the next one won’t be like that.

After seeing the ambulance go by, Robby says he’s headed home. He takes a beer for the road, tells everyone tomorrow is another day, and puts his earphones back in and walks home.
