Spoilers The Pitt on Max

So many people I want to see get their comeuppance in this show…but I also know it’s not that kinda show.

As fitz said, the over all story was better served by it not being the kid or related to in any way to the ER. Now we have one more episode to go.

Agree that the story was well served by the way it played out, but stand by my statement that it being 'obvious' that it was the kid wasn't the reason. Though I also probably overreacted to fitz's choice of that word in the context of his comment.

It was also a great choice to not make it someone else we'd seen in the ER that day (before or after the shooting). The show also did a good job hinting against it being the kid after the initial suspicion and tied up the kid's story in a very satisfying way. Looking back, the specifics of the kid's story didn't really gel with the facts of the shooting, and they would have been forcing things to make it him.

Santos. Mckay’s ex-husband. Angry waiting room guy.

I think McKay's husband got his comeuppance via watching the chaos and McKay working to save lives. Also the actor who played her father, her actual father.

Holy crap, was that Brad Dourif?! I didn’t even recognize him! That’s so awesome!

I got into this show recently and just binged it like crazy. One of the best things I have seen recently, holy crap is this thing awesome. And while its got some holes to poke on the medicine, by far the most accurate medical show I have ever seen on screen.

I appreciate how balanced the characters are on how those traits are both rewarded and punished at different times. All of them feel very human, very real.

I am very happy they chose not to make the kid the shooter. It showed the tough ethics of that situation, McKay was the classic defender of women in this example, and in a world where school shootings are a way of life now a days, its easy to go "well you always report no matter what". But we got to see the other side, McKay was wrong and now a kid who hasn't done anything wrong is having to suffer consequences (maybe major consequences if any of his peers find out). But in the moment, you feel for both Robbie and McKay having to wrestle with that situation, its messy, and the show let us see why its messy rather than have the kid be the shooter and put it all in a clean little ethics bow.

I am proud of myself I caught the Langdon drug situation right at the beginning. I noticed how hyped he seemed and wondered if he was tweaking on something....and turns out he was! But it was well done how in the first few episodes he was jittery, but then calmed down after a few more and then by the middle of the day was more mellow as the drugs settled out.

Love this show. 1 episode- 1 hour of the shift is great. It cuts down on time for soap opera interpersonal relations most medical tv shows are full off. We see in "real time" effects of their decisions and how it impacts characters.

My only gripe with that is the outcome of that situation wasn’t that Robby was right, nor was McKay wrong. Just because the kid wasn’t the shooter at the festival doesn’t erase the fact that he did create a list of girls he either wanted to target or felt hurt him, he was acting strangely, he did go completely incommunicado - all the signs that someone is legit in crisis, and that did not change regardless of who ended up being the shooter.

Kid definitely needs help, and as much as he might not want it right now, he's much more likely to get it after this. I think Robbie was wrong to yell at McKay over it. He can disagree with her approach all he likes, but it wasn't unreasonable.
