The Pitt season 2 episode 7 spoilers: Noah Wyle on Robby’s perspective

As we do look ahead now to The Pitt season 2 episode 7 over on HBO Max, it makes sense to be frustrated with Dr. Robby — and for good reason.

After all, there is no denying that he is is good at his job — also, he has shown time and time again that he is willing to be caring and compassionate. Consider all of that, but then question why we have yet to see any of that when it comes to Langdon this season. By the disconnect? Is it hypocrisy, or something else entirely?

We have gotten a small sense of how Noah Wyle feels about the dynamic here and there throughout the season, but why not take a larger look now? Speaking to TVLine, the actor did his best to break it down further:

“That’s complicated … That’s the stuff we worked through over the course of the season. You want to believe in the beginning that it’s a sense of betrayal and dishonesty that’s at root there. And then you get a sense that it might be a little bit of tough love. Like, ‘don’t come back here and think that everything is going to be hunky-dory. You kind of have to earn your keep again.’

“Then there’s another aspect of it: 20 percent of the people that come back relapse … [That could make Robby wonder] ‘Are you going to be that one in five?’ And then part of it is, ‘You didn’t fail me, I failed you. I’m the teacher. You’re the student. This happened under my watch. I was supposed to be looking out for you.’ So, how does this reflect on me ultimately? All of that complexity is in addition to the fact that Langdon is now coming back from having walked the therapeutic road. He’s humbled himself. He’s faced his demons. And he’s come back to rebuild his life — none of which Robby has done yet. That’s kryptonite to Superman, and until Robby’s willing to admit that he could use a dose of kryptonite, he doesn’t want anything to do with it.”

So really, there is so much going on here beyond what we are seeing on the surface here, and we’re not sure that all of it will even be hashed out on-screen. While we know that Robby and Langdon will spend some time together in episode 7, so much of the series is about medical crises — there is not a lot of room for personal conversation along the way.
