The Watchers are back at PTMC for Season 2, Episode 13 of The Pitt. It’s “7:00 P.M.” and after a full 12 hours of watching the day shift slowly disintegrate, Jodie and Andrea are more than ready to sink into the night crew's warm, competent, extremely chill embrace. We meet the very welcome Dr. Crus Henderson (Crus Control, bay-bee!), spend not enough time with our dearest Dr. Shen (who really just needs some cake), and say goodnight (goodbye?) to Emma and Ogilvie. Meanwhile, our day shift team continues to stress us the hell out. But honestly, right now, while we're here in these show notes together, let's just ignore them for a few minutes and remind ourselves that we've still got two more hours with Abbott and the After Dark team. There now, doesn't that feel nice?

If you're reading this, that means you've probably got your podcatcher of choice open right now. It would be SO helpful if you gave our little show a follow. If you like what you hear, you could even leave us a review.

Finally, time for handoff! What could possibly go wrong? It's Season 2, Episode 12 of The Pitt, and Andrea and Jodie are making their “6:00 PM” rounds. This hour is a little light on patient stories and a lot heavy on interpersonal mess, as Dana and Robby finally say some of the things we’ve wanted them to say all season, Santos and Whitaker remain in their own little platonic rom-com, and Joy does some teaching of her own. McKay lays the smackdown on a golf asshole, we get a little lesson on the difficulties of rural medicine, and an elderly couple gives Mel and Mohan the chance to just be good doctors together. Plus: we meet Mateo After Dark, Javadi attempts to put her TikTok fame to good use, and we get a visit from a very patriotic lobster.

Here’s the Nurse Dana’s Admin Blood Donuts sticker we mentioned in this episode!

If you're reading this, that means you've probably got your podcatcher of choice open right now. It would be SO helpful if you gave our little show a follow. If you like what you hear, you could even leave us a review.

Time for The Pitt, Season 2, Episode 11: "5:00 P.M." Sorry for the delay on this one. How about we blame these cyber assholes? (Yes, I’m writing these notes while watching Episode 12.) We only need about a million more listeners before Andrea and Jodie can retire, at which point we can spend our dotage talking into microphones about TV shows, and Andrea will never be late again.

It's time to make our rounds on Season 2, Episode 10 of The Pitt. It's "4:00 P.M." and, honestly, Andrea is way behind on her charting and doesn't want to end up like Santos, so we’re keeping these notes short. Inside: Mel and Robby’s VIPs, waterslide patients, including Andrea's least favorite injury of the series so far, Al-Hashimi might actually be cool as hell?, and we make our predictions as we head into the back third of the season.

The Watchers are back at PTMC to recap Season 2, Episode 9 of The Pitt. It’s “3:00 P.M.” and we’re given one of the most PSA-ass PSAs of the series so far (it’s also one of the most gratifying, so we’re fine with it), meet Dana’s Dana, and mark the first two stops on Robby’s Farewell Tour. We check in on our patients, track what’s unfolding across the department, and break down some extremely important Jersey connections.

The Watchers are back at PTMC for Season 2, Episode 8 of The Pitt, just in time for our “2:00 PM” rounds. And finally, it’s chaos o’clock, baby. Jodie and Andrea celebrate the return of clipboards, patient charts, and the sweet siren song of a fax machine (Abbott is thriving like the office supplies girlie he is). We check in on our current patients, meet some new faces, and watch as the department starts to feel like it’s bracing for something bigger. Ellis and Mel definitely don’t have a conversation, Ogilvie (who is on THIN FRIGGIN ICE) and Javadi team up for some competitive genius nonsense untijavadl cool, calm, and collected Joy steps in, and we see which of our doctors-in-training have the capacity to learn from their mistakes.

The Watchers are back at PTMC for Season 2, Episode 7 of The Pitt, making our “1:00 PM” rounds. This hour takes on a difficult, often sensationalized subject with quiet care, thanks to our queen, Nurse Dana. And while things within Dana’s radius remain steady, the rest of our doctors have honestly kinda gone Muppet mode.

Abbott shows up early and immediately challenges our feminist values. Robby goes from Chief Attending Physician to Chief Attending Gossip. And Santos proves (once again) that we were obviously right to love her from day one: a statement that is technically untrue but spiritually correct.

Also: the computers will be down next week. Prepare accordingly.

The Watchers are back at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center for Season 2, Episode 6 of The Pitt. It’s “12:00 P.M.,” and Jodie and Andrea clock in for our recently-requested Nurses’ Episode. We say goodbye to Pittsburgh’s greatest groundskeeper, watch Dana’s armor crack just enough to let the light back in, and generally celebrate the nurses who keep The Pitt–okay, maybe not totally ON the rails, but at least rails-adjacent. There’s a Liberty Bell pin mystery that may never be solved, annoying A.I. shenanigans, and a move from fucking Ogilvie for which he will never be forgiven. Most distressingly, though, Robbie comes dangerously close to giving us the ick.

The Watchers are back at PTMC for Season 2, Episode 5 of The Pitt, making our “11:00 AM” rounds. Jodie and Andrea check in on Ogilvie’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, Whitaker’s continued quiet glow-up, and Santos as she gets closer to investing in Dr. Al-Hashimi’s AI startup. Plus: a gridlocked granny, some extremely Pittsburgh sports fan behavior, and why Donnie’s sink hole bet might not be as foolish as Ahmad thinks. We also dig into how this season is less about one big dramatic event and more about the less sensational long-term effects of trauma. And Jodie asks the most important question of all: if you ended up in this emergency department, which doctor would you actually want treating you, and why is it Dr. McKay?

Sorry for the late post on this one, folks, but The Watchers are back on duty! Jodie and Andrea are clocking in for another shift at PTMC to recap Season 2, Episode 4 of The Pitt. We make the rounds on our patients, learn more than anyone should about what Whitaker's getting up to on that farm, and try to determine whether Robby's dad jokes are a coping mechanism or a cry for help. Zoom zoom.

Join us every Monday as The Watchers break down each episode of The Pitt, the HBO medical drama from Noah Wyle and the team behind ER, which, may we remind you, is just a coincidence.
