The Pitt season 2 episode 3 spoilers: The Mel – Langdon dynamic

We know that for many fans out there of The Pitt on HBO Max, the relationship between Mel and Langdon is always worth watching. There is such an enduring kindness and rapport between the two, but it is also fair to say that some things are now different.

In many ways, don’t they have to be different? We would argue so, largely because of what Langdon has gone through in the past ten months. He spoke to Mel about his recovery and addiction in episode 2, and she seemed to take it reasonably well. However, at the same time, it is clear that their dynamic is not the same.

Is Mel still feeling a certain type of way towards Langdon over what happened? Not so much. As Taylor Dearden herself explained recently to The Hollywood Reporter, what we are seeing between the two of them is, at least for right now, the direct result of personal change:

“Mel sees the best in everyone, and pretty much only sees the best in everyone, and even if there’s a dark spot, she’s like the first to forgive, and I don’t think the news affects her at all … I think the only thing that is different is that she’s a different doctor now. She’s not someone who desperately needs someone to to be there for her. And she’s more independent and trying, and she’s excited to reincorporate Dr. Langdon back into her professional life and as a friend and a mentor.”

We imagine that there are going to be more great moments coming between the two over the remaining 13 episodes, but here is a reminder that incorporating them is sometimes hard. After all, how much joy is there often in a hospital with life-and-death issues around every corner?
