Did they not outright state that they were a prostitute and a pimp? I guess not.
They strongly suspected it, but couldn’t prove anything.
I believe it was necrotizing fasciitis.
I’m betting that Robby does nothing with the baby. That feels like a Grey’s Anatomy plot. Maybe in season 3 there is one line about how the baby is doing well. Or the mother came forward and she got the baby back. Something like that.
Because the show takes place in real time, so to speak, the writers get much more room to leave stuff unresolved. They can set all sorts of things in motion in Episode 1 that they have no idea how to resolve, and work out cool resolutions for 75% of them, and dumb resolutions for another 10%, and no resolutions for the remainder. If they get called on it, they shrug and go, “Hey, life be’s that way sometimes. It would be unrealistic if every plot line tied up neatly within 15 hours.” But it’s not as if they intended all along for those plot lines to be the ones they never get resolved.
It’s even more than likely that they spun a few scenarios in the writers’ room, like a scene of Digby finding and hiding Whitaker’s badge, even filmed it, and then decided it didn’t work, or they didn’t have the time to show that scene, and that’s how it got on the cutting room floor, rather than “Hey, it would be way cool to cut to Digby wearing the badge and wheeling around the dummy.”
It’s really strange how hung up you are getting on a simple gag.
They showed Santos at a kareoke bar in normal clothes but didn’t show her changing or driving there. Unresolved storyline!! How did she get there if they didn’t show it?
This interview has some good previews for S3 from Gemmill. Including: no, the baby’s not getting fostered/adopted by Robby.
The Pitt Season 2 Finale Explained — Season 3 Cast And Time Jump Confirmed
I don’t see why he wouldn’t be back. He had one bad day.
Because of the logistics of the show there doesn’t seem to be much left to chance. It’s very well planned out before they start shooting. If you look at any of the behind-the-scenes footage of all the equipment and prosthetics and effects they need it’s pretty clear why.
The Digby ending was planned from the beginning. The actor who plays him put on social media that he grew out his hair for the role. All of the exteriors in Pittsburgh were filmed between episode seven and eight so he had to get his haircut before then. For the rest of the season until they showed his haircut, he was wearing a wig. So the finale of episode 15 was filmed between episode seven and eight. Most of the show was filmed sequentially but that had to be done out of order because of the exteriors.
We had guys quit on the first day of the police academy after years of hard work trying to get hired. Sometimes you find out something isn’t for you. Having his arrogance crash into reality and not being able to handle it won’t seem too unreasonable to me.
I read the initial thought was to have him quit but at some point before filming they decided to film it like that.
There are other medical specialties that Ogilvie might be better suited for. Perhaps something less high pressure?
He’s only a student. This is just one rotation of many. But he does have to get through this one.
One of my mother’s friends is a woman whose late husband was an emergency department doctor. I remember once he sat at our kitchen table and described how he would come home from the hospital wondering if he’d followed the correct course for his patients. So the pressure on doctors is real.
Like Loach mentioned, he’s a med student. He has 4 weeks on ER rotation, whether he likes it or not. Unless he wants to drop out of med school altogether.
Aren’t the fourth-year rotations electives, meaning he can choose another one instead?
Yes they are generally electives, but once you’re in, you’re in. It’s 4 weeks, tough it out and then decide if ER medicine is really for you or not. At least at the Med School where my wife was registrar, that’s how it worked. It was almost unheard of for a student to switch out a rotation once started, except for extreme situations.
He chose that rotation and chose there. He’s now committed for the month. No longer. But for the month. A senior will choose a electives based on what they want to go into and an away rotation (as this is for him) will be chosen to try get a foot up in match process at a top of your list program. Maybe he decides nah on the specialty. Or nah on that specific dysfunctional program. And there are lots of medical students trying match at different programs …
My mantra, repeated at least once per episode: “I couldn’t do this job for all the money in the world”.
I would kill myself going through all my decisions time after time fearing I did something wrong and harmed or killed someone.
I would freeze when having to take life-or-death decisions in seconds.
I’m very very glad that people exist who can do that kind of job.
Not at all. That’s just my example of an issue they left unresolved (or if you prefer, “deliberately and partially unresolved.”) The larger point is the way TV scripts get written–typically, the writers will write 150% of the running time, an hour or so for a 42 minute show, like that. Then some of it gets eliminated as being unessential to the strict necessities of the plot, some of it goes due to performers speeding up the pace unexpectedly or a prop malfunctioning, or something of that sort, or the scene simply not working as cleverly as the writers had imagined it would. In this case, I suspect the writers had envisioned and scripted and possibly had seen filmed a bit about Digby filching the badge and that scene either was cut in the writing stage or in the performing stage, likely for reasons of the show running long. But they always film more scenes than they intend to use–it’s the only way to prevent the disaster of finding themselves running short.
I don’t think so. Remember the show happens in real time, no flashbacks or anything. So we would’ve had to see Digby take the badge before Whittaker spends all that time looking for it, which would’ve ruined the joke.
Exactly. It was just meant as a throwaway joke. I don’t think it landed as funny myself, sort of bugs me to use the mentally ill guy living on the streets as the punchline, but nothing more to it.
