Happily, there hasn’t been much other attrition at the Pitt. Dr. Mel King (Taylor Dearden) is still treating patients with openhearted thoroughness, though she’s anxious about the deposition she’ll have to give, in the afternoon, after being named in her first malpractice case. Dr. Trinity Santos (Isa Briones), still brash but now an overloaded second-year resident, reminds Mel that such lawsuits are a standard occupational hazard, and that the hospital protects her from liability. With her 21st birthday looming, the prodigy Victoria Javadi (Shabana Azeez) continues to resist her star-surgeon mom’s (Deepti Gupta) pressure to train in surgery. Just returning to the ER, a rehabbed and humbled Dr. Frank Langdon (Patrick Ball) is desperate to earn Robby’s forgiveness for the nearly career-ending transgression of taking a patient’s meds. But his former mentor isn’t ready to absolve him, banishing Langdon to triage in a transparent act of avoidance.
