Howre we doing,Pittcrew?
Ill tell you how Im doing.
Not because the season-one finale ofThe Pittwas bad.
Its the opposite, in fact.
9:00 P.M. is about as satisfying a finale a show like this could deliver.
I am reveling in the wonderful television weve been treated to in this episode, and all season long.
But Im also bereft.
The credits came up on the finale and I said aloud, Im really going to miss everybody.
For the record, I do have friends and a life outside of television (sort of).
I just really loved getting to spend 15 hours with these people.
The PittFest shooting is mostly wrapped up at this point.
The last patient going upstairs to surgery is on their way.
Several victims are processed and given actual beds in the ED.
We learn that the PTMC team saw 112 patients throughout that ordeal and 106 are going to live.
Nothing short of incredible.
Even Gloria thanks the staff.
Its all quite nice.
You should know by now thatThe Pittis just a never-ending stream of trauma and stress and occasional heartbreak.
Thats what we do here and we like it!!
PTMC might be closed to trauma at the moment, but trauma does not give a shit.
Trauma finds a way.
Ive got to say, Im kind of digging the vibe between these two.
Hes a cowboy who practices medicine with military sensibilities, shes a surgeon who plays by the rules.
Plus, this man has barely sat down in 15 hours.
The exhaustion is all over his face.
Hes still super harsh in the way he talks to McKay about the David situation.
She does wind up fixing things as much as possible.
Later, she spots him reluctantly participating in his psych consult.
Its all very messy, but I think McKay can go home feeling good about David in the end.
Where Robby really goes wrong is with the measles kid.
And yep, she still sucks so hard.
But again, this doesnt excuse Robbys actions here.
They couldnt save them, but they could save Flynn.
Mr. Edwards calls him an asshole, and he isnt wrong.
Robby certainly crosses the line here, but the move does have the intended effect.
Later, Mr. Edwards finds Dr. King and tells her they want the spinal tap.
Mr. and Mrs. Edwards will definitely be getting a divorce, but this feels like a win all around.
Dana trusts Robby here and reminds Langdon that he should do the same.
Robby will always do whats best for him.
Well, he definitely wouldve, until Langdon finds him outside and really fucks things up.
The only second chance Langdon is getting now is a nice, long rehab program.
Although, Robby does end their fight with a loud FUCK YOU!
so who knows if the guy will have any chances after this evening.
Even as a recent Langdon apologist, I cannot feel bad for him now.
As if we havent all cried enough this shift!!
The wistful look she gives the ED as she packs up her things.
The little quiver in her chin.
And right now, her heart is broken.
She tells him to give himself grace.
She is a true hero to the very end, that woman.
Alas, Robby has no room for grace at the moment.
Now, serious question: Can we burn the family viewing room down to the ground?
It brings only harm!!
After these two interactions, Robby can feel another breakdown coming on.
Robby instead decides to take his emotions to a higher elevation he goes to the roof.
I will be watching this scene repeatedly for the next few days, it is so good.
he tells his friend.
Its fast and its dark out and yet the gesture makes such an impact.
And the fact that this is two men being vulnerable and emotional and supportive of each other?
Its the least intense moment of the series and a perfect way to send our people off.
They toast to their colleagues and to the patients they lost.
I really fucking hope so, she responds.
Just another person heading home at the end of a long, long day.
Mel King, once again, too good for this world.
Im so happyThe Pittgives Santos some truly redeeming momentsin the finale.
She couldnt save her, but she wants to help Max.
She finds him dancing in a towel after their shift.
And then she does something completely surprising: She offers him the spare room at her place for free.
Having her decide to finally, for once, socialize after work is a nice button.
I knewThe Pittwould not leave us hanging on the Myrna front.
Our babe is back in handcuffs and back at the hospital for seizures.
Shes an institution now, and if she doesnt return in season two what are we even doing here?
