Last season, the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center was thrown into disarray in the final few episodes because of external factors.
Seeing how the second season has focused more on the characters’ internal conflicts, several doctors will likely reach their breaking points in episode 13.
Santos is likely to repeat her self-harm pattern after she was seen quietly taking a scalpel kit.

Similarly, Landgon will be forced to prove he has truly overcome his substance issues after Al-Hashimi learned of his crimes and froze him out.
Robby has the most demons hanging over him as he prepares to wrap his final shift before sabbatical. However, fans fear it could be his actual last shift, given how jaded and exhausted he has become.
An official logline for the episode reads:
“As the night shift begins, Mohan’s AMA patient is brought back to the ER, Langdon doubts his place in the Pitt, and Robby gets Duke’s results.”
