The Pitt season 2 episode 7 sets up the cliffhanger we all knew was coming — and it's ruined the show's most vulnerable moment to date

WARNING: spoilers for The Pitt season 2 episode 7 ahead.

I knew it was only a matter of time until the Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle) and Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi's (Sepideh Moafi) tentative rivalry spilled out into the rest of the ER. Although The Pitt season 2 has softened the bond between them, the decision to rush in procedural changes has backfired.

In The Pitt season 2 episode 2, Al-Hashimi wants to implement an automated patient processing system. Everything from note taking and organizing to diagnosis and treatment plans will be taken care of through the cloud-based system, leaving doctors more time to improve patient relations, as she puts it.
