Stop reading now if you haven’t looked at “The Pitt” Episode 14, “8:00 pm” – Spoilers are in front.
In the 11th episode of The Hit Max Original “The Pitt”, the doctors of An emergency room crowded by Pittsburgh (including Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch, played by “is” veteran Noah Wyle) Gétrez that there is an active shooter in a local festival called Pittfest, and immediately, they all prepare for the impact. Waves of seriously injured patients then flood emergencies, some of which do not even go to the hospital. Before a long time, doctors find themselves in a situation where they are so low on the supplies and blood that they must find seriously unconventional solutions to the problem (like, for example, act like bags of human blood and give blood directly to patients while they treat them).

In episode 14, which “takes place” at 8 pm, we learn that the shooter was neutralized. Here is the thing, however. It is not the teenager in detention, David Saunders (Jackson Kelly), whose mother found a disturbing list of women whom he planned to harm potentially, and it is not the dissatisfied patient Doug Driscll (Drew Powell), who was waiting for so long for the emergency medical care that he hit an accused nurse Dana (Katherine Lanasa). We were all wrong, and it was really a random guy. When someone in the emergencies asks who the shooter – who found a self -inflicted ball injury – was first of all, Dana, always wearing a black eye graceful with Doug, intervenes, “Is it important?”
According to TVInterview with Wyle, no; It doesn’t matter at all. “It has absolutely nothing to do with the horrible nature of the work that these [doctors and nurses] I have to play the day after that, so why give him attention? “Asked Wyle (and he was right, honestly).” This will certainly make no difference at this stage in one of the lives of the population who are in our environment. “”

Noah Wyle says that the wrong direction involving David on the Pitt sends an important message
However, as Noah Wyle told Ryan Schwartz de Tvline, the show supposed To poorly orient his audience. He wanted them to assume that the shooter was either David – who disappears from the show after his first episode and is finally detained by the police in the episode “7:00 pm” – or Doug, on the basis of the fact that they both seem to have violent trends. (They both have the hatred of a kind, whether David and his derogatory opinions on women or the pretty racist remarks that Doug makes while waiting to be seen in emergencies.)

“That said, we enjoyed the wrong direction to have a lot of people who think it was David or Doug Driscoll or … you know, I even read more wild theories on this subject,” admitted Wyle to Schwartz before explaining that the bait-and-room was all about David:
“But that had to underline the scenario that we really wanted to explore with the character of David, who is a question of misunderstanding at all levels. Try to connect, but miss the crucial moments when this connection must really be in place. Otherwise, he can trigger suspicions, paranoia, panic, over -influence, a laps of judgment – wake of our bias, our interpretation of criminal and our mistreatment of David. “

At the beginning of “The Pitt”, David’s mother, Theresa Saunders (Joanna Go), drinks Ipecac to make herself sick so that David brings her to the emergency room – because after finding a list of girls he apparently wants to injure, she cannot find any other way to bring him closer to certain professionals and the first speakers. What ends up happening is that the David cops cuff and emergency staff stick it in an examination room, although Dr. Robby and his colleague Dr. McKay (Fiona Dourif) do not radically agree on this subject. (Robby thinks that it is too hard of an approach, while McKay feels that he is an immediate danger that must be neutralized.) He then revealed that Theresa signed a petition to institutionalize it according to the list it found.
“Are we wrong to intervene? Maybe,” continued Wyle. “But we were wrong, in this particular case, to assume that it was 1 to 1. I think that is another important lesson to withdraw from this – that even if crimes of thought are not crimes, they can make cries to get help or needs for attention or analysis, and I think it was an important message to convey.”
Episode 14 of the Pitt presents a new set of crises after the carnage of mass shot finally slows down
Just because the victims of mass fire no longer influence Dr. Robby’s emergencies at the end of “8:00 pm”, this does not yet mean that anyone is out of the woods. Far from it, in fact, because everyone in the emergencies takes breathing, a young girl and her brother need immediate medical care. The boy, Flynn (Ivan Fraser), cannot breathe and presents a rash throughout the lower body, how his sister Georgia (Kayla Anjali) tells doctors that she had similar symptoms recently. Dr. Robby, who is a little older than medical students and residents working in the emergency room, immediately clocks what’s going on. Flynn has measles, so when his parents show up – they were in a film while their son fell ill – they tell Robby that not only did they not vaccinated Flynn, but that they hesitate to give him medical care, like a necessary spinal tap, now that he is in the emergency room.

Robby correctly assesses the situation and says that because of the state of Flynn, the urgency can have an epidemic of measles on the hands. At this stage of season 1 of “The Pitt”, it is an understatement to say that Robby is at a breakdown; The girlfriend of her substitution son died during the shooting despite the desperate attempts of Robby to save her, so the idea that the situation of Flynn could have been prevented and can Being treated now is too much for him. There remains only one episode of the first season of “The Pitt”, so we may see how the new emergency resolves when it is broadcast on April 10, 2025 at 9 p.m. HNE. Hopefully, We will not have to wait for season 2 to discover.
