The Pitt season 2 premiere: The Robby, motorcycle, helmet mystery

We know that throughout The Pitt season 2 on HBO Max, there will be a number of great topics of conversation. For the sake of the premiere, though, there is one in particular that we feel is worth having pertaining to Dr. Robby — why is he not wearing his motorcycle helmet at the start of the episode?

Back when some previews surfaced online for the season, some of the questions started to surface. However, what makes it even more interesting now is knowing that Noah Wyle’s character did actually have said helmet. This was not an instance of him forgetting it. Rather, it is something that he consciously chose not to do and with that, he put his own life at risk.

This is one of those shows that does tend to think about everything and with that, they are actively plotting out something regarding this motorcycle as well. Speaking about it further to the Los Angeles Times, here is what executive producer R. Scott Gemmill had to say about it:

The motorcycle goes back to some part of Robby’s past. We don’t really talk about it, but it has a link to his father, and his father being a tinkerer of old cars and Robby needing a vacation, a hiatus of sorts. Pennsylvania is a no-helmet law [state]. And some of us who have motorcycles sometimes enjoy riding them without a motor helmet. It’s not a smart thing to do, and it speaks to Robby’s current attitude of a certain amount of carelessness on his part.

So why be so careless? We’re not going to go so far as to say that he has a death wish, but his job is clearly running him ragged. He may also want to feel free after spending so much of his day confined, but what is the cost?
