The Pitt's first season depicts a full shift at a Pittsburgh emergency room, one hour at a time.

The 11th episode’s devastating cliff-hanger revealed the answer: a mass shooting at a nearby music festival.

Noah Wyle : "You can look at the first 11 episodes as one series.. and then it becomes a whole other show in its final act".

The Pitt’s 12th episode finds Dr. Robby reaching his breaking point.

His stepson, Jake , was at the music festival where the shooting occurred, along with his girlfriend.

In the episode, medical professionals attach slap-band charts to each new victim of the shooting.

Wyle and Gemmill created a look book with breakdowns of all 109 patients.

This episode showcases The Pitt at the top of its game.

This episode moves so quickly that though the script ran 76 pages, its final runtime came in under 40 minutes .

Even amid the chaos, each of the show’s main characters gets a spotlight.
