The Pitt season 2 episode 5 spoilers: Has Whittaker changed?
As we prepare to see The Pitt season 2 episode 5 on HBO Max in a handful of days, there are so many stories worthy of follow-ups. A part of what makes this show so strong is that because there are 15 episodes a season, there are legitimate opportunities to dive into almost every major character. For now, that includes Whittaker, who has shown himself to be more of a leader and a teacher this time around.
So what has brought about this change? Is it that time that he’s spending on a farm with a woman who lost her husband in season 1? Not necessarily.

In a new interview with TVLine, Gerran Howell (who plays the character) notes that more than anything, this new-found part of his life could get him in trouble:
“He might be stretching himself too far … It’s kind of a crazy thing to do, and a little bit inappropriate … I don’t think it’s that that’s given him the confidence. I think that is just him going a bit too far.”
Instead, Howell notes that some of his character’s mindset right now may be very much do to what is going on in his job, and the responsibility that forces him to be confident:
“I think it’s more about him having to teach people now … It’s a big thing for him. It’s another plate to spin, for sure, and more stress. But it’s kind of given him more reason to be competent. He has to be, you know?”
At the moment, we would argue that Whittaker is the person at the hospital best suited to become the next Dr. Robby. Yet, at the same time we recognize that this within itself is not a guarantee that he is going to turn out that way. There a long day in the hospital still ahead here…
