that rooftop scene in the finale was actually so important.

the rooftop is the setting in the pitt where people have these big emotional beats in which they reach out and attempt to find community. this is established in season one between jack and robby. in the beginning of episode one, we see jack facing the void and turning away from it to follow robby back to safety, robby does the with jack at the end. season two reaffirms this interpretation.

all of these women we saw on the roof were on the brink this whole season. samira was personally and professionally adrift. mel was facing her malpractice suit and sister’s independence. perlah was facing national xenophobic sentiments and the pressure of being a highly capable nurse. dana was reeling from her assault and crumbling under the pressure of her position. mckay was realizing the depths of her emotional detachment. victoria was dealing with her insecurities and lack of freedom. trinity had the situationship and the frank confrontation and the child abuse trigger and the loss of dennis’s company.

all of these women were facing a profound loneliness, a profound void, a profound lack of support. they were all alone in this all day, briefly brushing against each other in moments that chafed and soothed in equal measure.

and just like jack and robby have each other to pull them back from the edge, these women can find that with each other in the exact same spot.

the pitt uses setting very well. the peds room represents the loss and gains of family. the bathroom represents the humanity denied to healthcare works. and the roof represents the community these providers find within each other.

they all have moments where they’re correcting, snapping, or disagreeing with each other this season. samira judges cassie for talking about her lack of intimacy, victoria and trinity have a more sarcastic relationship, mel flat out said trinity has a personality disorder, dana has been short with just about everyone. but in this one moment, they band together. they process the day, feel awe and exhaustion and sadness and wonder all at the same time, all together. they build an imperfect community out of tragedies.

it’s just impeccable story telling.

possibly the only pitt take of my own i will make after that episode, but as someone who has worked in fucking congress since the start of trump’s term and primarily works on casework involving ice and uscis to try to locate individuals who have been detained and ensure that their constitutional rights are being upheld, i can PROMISE YOU that there is not a governing body in this country except for those at the VERY top of the executive branch who have ANY oversight over ice and their detentions and their detention centers. EVERYTHING you have seen on the news is barely ten percent of the stuff that actually goes on. EVERYONE in that hospital was as helpless as you or me watching in the presence of ice. however dangerous you think ice is, it’s worse, and there is no one alive who can protect you from them

[divorcedfranklangdon]

just a reminder that it's fuck ICE forever

[hoss-bonaventure]

al-hashimi pulling robby to the side just to be like "hey get it the fuck together and stop being an unsympathetic jerk" is the most important thing anyone's ever done on this show. like yes girl, kick him again. matter of fact...pull out the gun.

[deadprose]

Alright i wasn't going to make my own post of this but after thinking some more on it, here's my two cents.

Mohan is a direct parallel to Robby's younger days.

We see Mohan scared about her job, wondering if she truly fits in the ER, becoming, snappy and dismissive with her coworkers and despite being a very competent doctor feeling all that unnecessary pressure from her boss.

I think all that Mohan is now is what Robby used to be when he was younger, and like a lot of other people here have commented, he sees a reflection of himself in him.

He's giving her "tough love" as he says because that's how he was treated when he was still a newer doctor.

I fully believe Mohan is supposed to be that insight to Robby's personality when he was younger. And I'll even go as far to say that Mohan could become Robby, whether personality wise or an attending like him in the future, and Robby knows she's a spectacular doctor and wants her to be emotionally prepared for all that this jobs being.

Having said that, he's a dick for treating her like that

and on that same note, I've seen people mentioning that Robby gives Whitaker the treatment Adamson gave him and I disagree. I think how he treats Mohan is how Robby was treated by Adamson. We only know Adamson from Robby's memory and often when someone we admire dies we put them on a pedestal and make them an angel in our head.

“how can robby criticize mohan for having a panic attack when he had a breakdown at work during pitt fest?”

guys i fear we are running head first into the point.

everything he said to her was something he has most likely said to himself in the past (except maybe the mommy issues thing idk)

she is a reflection of him!!! he is being unkind to her because he’s unkind to himself. it doesn’t mean that he isn’t in the wrong (because he absolutely is) but it was written this way intentionally.

“how can he tell her to keep her personal issues out of the workplace when his personal issues are affecting his work”

THATS THE POINT. the hypocrisy was intentional

[deadprose]

i dont know man, Robby was raised by his grandmother, I think the mommy issues are 100% there.

[ashoss]

i miss my father and daughter

[cbartonscoffee]

Digby's just the best by the way. "I can give you guys some room." And he pushes his bed away from Mrs. Burns' so that they can indeed move more comfortably. And then he hits them with genuine joy and the "Nice. Very nice." and double thumbs up combo and he makes Perlah smile. Talk about a scene stealer.

[puppiegracie]

[str4wbsstuff]

that moment when your attending fully implies that he will be killing himself after giving you his house.

Jewish baby named Edgardo Mortara is seemingly about to die in Bologna, 1851

Catholic nanny secretly baptises him to save his soul, which she’s not exactly the kind of authority who can do that, but w/e, it’s interpreted by the church as valid later

Kid survives

1857 her secret gets out, a baptising makes a kid a Catholic according to the Church and a Catholic can’t be raised in a non-Catholic household in the Papal States, so the church authorises the police to kidnap Edgardo from his family

Raised personally by Pope Pius IX, Jewish family not allowed to take him back due to Church doctrine, this action destroys the family with grief and despair

This case gets international infamy with the Pope not understanding why everyone’s shiting on him for doing this, including allies

Emperor Napoleon III shifts from opposing Italian unification to supporting it as a direct consequence

Bologna falls the next year, 1859

Kingdom of Italy forms 1861

By 1870 Rome is lost to the Italians and the Papal States are no more

(Edgardo Mortara goes on to become Father Mortara)

(He dies in Belgium in 1940 three months before the Nazis occupied the nation, which if he’d have lived he would’ve been persecuted as a Jew)

Wikipedia confirms

Mortara case - Wikipedia

[bonyassfish]

Fun fact: the Catholic Church did not stop doing this after Edgaro Mortara. During WW2, many Jewish children were put in convents or catholic-run orphanages for their own safety. Sounds nice right? Except after the war ended, when parents or surviving relative went back to claim their children, the church went, “uhhh, actually they’re catholic now, no take backs!”

The most infamous of these cases was the Finaly affair. Two Jewish children in France, Robert and Gerald Finaly, were placed in a Catholic nursery in 1944 in anticipation of their parents being deported to Auschwitz, where they were both murdered. Their aunt, Marguerite Fischel, survived the war and went to find the boys so she could take them to live with her. However, the nun who had custody of the boys, Antoinette Brun, adamantly refused to give them up, reportedly saying that “The Jews are not grateful”

What followed was a years long custody battle where despite being repeatedly ordered by courts all over Europe to return the boys, Brun took them to many different countries and hid them, with the support and help of other nuns and priests. It was suspected at the time, and later confirmed by documents released in 2020, that Pope Pius XII had supported the effort to keep the boys away from their surviving family and have them be raised Catholic.

Thankfully, after negotiations between a sympathetic cardinal in France and the chief Rabbi of Paris, the boys were finally recovered and reunited with their aunt.

The Pope, the Jews, and the Secrets in the Archives

Documents reveal the private discussions behind both Pope Pius XII’s silence about the Nazi deportation of Rome’s Jews in 1943 and the Vatic

I wish I could say that the phenomenon of the Catholic Church kidnapping children and keeping them away from their families for the purposes of forcefully raising them Catholic is unique to Jews, but it’s not. From the mid nineteenth century to the mid twentieth century, the Church ran hundreds of residential schools in the US and Canada where indigenous children were kidnapped from their homes and forced into these cruel and inhumane “schools”. The children were forbidden from speaking their own languages or practicing their own cultures and religions, their hair was cut, and they were subject to emotional, verbal, spiritual, physical, and sexual abuse. Many of the children died due to malnutrition or medical neglect, their bodies buried like dogs beside the schools. The Catholic Church was not the only Church to participate in this, but they’ve been the most reluctant to fully acknowledge and apologize for it. It was only in 2022 that Pope Francis apologized on behalf of the Catholic Church for their part, but some people found the apology inadequate.

Idk what my point is here, just that there’s such a clean link between evangelizing, cultural/religious imperialism, and how damaging and horrifying a religion can be when it is thoroughly convinced of its own superiority. And that unless an institution is forced to change, it probably won’t change on its own.
