WARNING: spoilers for The pit Season 2 episode 1 ahead.
January may be universally terrible, but at least we have The pit season 2 to help us get through it. The new episodes of the HBO Max show are set over the Fourth of July weekend, 10 months after the events of season 1.
However, even though she's busy trying to assert her authority, we can already see a weakness developing, and it has a lot to do with the abandoned baby found in the waiting room bathroom.
Dr. Al-Hashimi knows more about the abandoned baby in The Pitt Season 2 Episode 1 than she lets on.
As The pit As Season 2, Episode 1 progresses, the team finds an abandoned baby and takes it to the ER to be checked out while they try to figure out who it belongs to. From the beginning, Dr. Al-Hashimi shows a strange interest in the baby, insisting that he undergo a laborious number of additional tests to rule out any possibility of fever or malnutrition.
Sure, you could say she's just a doctor at the top of her game doing the best job she can… but the faraway look in her eyes tells us she's hiding something. At the very least, it's triggering a wounded memory in her psyche, but I'm convinced she's linked to a patient in the waiting room who could very well be the baby's mother.
During the episode, we get multiple cutaways of patients waiting to be processed by the medical team, including the homeless man who everyone else is rudely offended by. In the crowd is a young woman who looks incredibly healthy, but she doesn't know that the administrative staff is calling her to the desk.
Because? Because she is deaf; We know this because the tumultuous noise of the emergency room fades into silence from his perspective. Since we see her several times throughout the episode, she has to be more important than the story lets on.
This is the part where you need to please me. I propose that our mystery patient is related to both the abandoned baby and Dr. Al-Hashimi. There's enough physical resemblance between the two women for them to be related, and we know nothing about Dr. Al-Hashimi outside of her new role in the ER.
All I'm saying is that this trio might be worth keeping an eye on. We'll definitely get answers at some point… I just have no idea when.
