The Pitt Season 2 Episode 5 Review: The System Is Broken, But This Series Isn’t

The Pitt Season 2 Episode 5 ’11:00 A.M.’ is an hour jam packed with healthcare workers’ struggles against a system that sets them up to fail, then blames them and their patients when they don’t succeed. As we explored with Dr. Mohan’s patient Orlando Diaz in Episode 4 and continue to explore here, there’s an affordability crisis. Programs meant to relieve that particular bit of suffering aren’t sufficient, to the point where in many cases, they provide a damaging sort of false hope that, once reality sets in, leaves sick people and their families even more hopeless than before. At least in the context of this series and people like Dr. Mohan and student doctor Kwon, unrelenting patient advocacy and brilliant creativity can save the day.

But that’s not the only place where out-of-the-box thinking is necessary. The staff also needs to try a “MacGyver move,” as Dr. Robby calls it, to help close the wounds of new arrival Gus Varney who was assaulted in prison. Normal suture techniques are failing because, as Mel puts it, “he has the skin strength of an 80-year-old.” This is on top of doctors not even having easy access to assess and treat his injuries, thanks to a guard who won’t just do as they ask and remove his cuffs. Nevermind that the poor guy wails in pain and can’t fully open his mouth due to a broken jaw, or the bloody mess of his face, or the multiple fractured ribs. Indeed, they can’t even transfer him from the EMTs’ gurney to the bed in his trauma room without a carefully-choreographed cuffs on, cuffs off, cuffs immediately back on dance.

It’s so bad, and the guard so uncaring, that both Mel and Whitaker get about as irritated and disgusted as I think we’ve ever seen either of them, much less both at once. Then, there’s Mohan who, in multiple different shots, looks like she’s about to get herself jailed for cutting the guy. How are doctors supposed to save a life in these conditions, when the justice system no longer treats inmates as if they’re living, breathing people at all? It’s a question that The Pitt Season 2 Episode 5 demands us to consider. The hour refuses to let up on this point, revisiting Gus with vivid images of the man’s suffering, new diagnoses — including poor nutrition from the prison food — in each scene, and that same sadness and shame in John Lee Ames’ performance that we’ve seen from other cases so far this season, like Mr. Diaz and Digby.

For those viewers who want to shrug it off as “eh, well. He’s a criminal” and echo the guard’s “he’s cuffed for a reason” mindset, the staffs reactions make a great counter-argument. Supriya Ganesh, Taylor Dearden, and Gerran Howell all do an excellent job of balancing their characters’ concern for the patient with their irritation with the guard. And, if the doctors happen to also have a conversation about other things in the middle of it all, well, that’s just a matter of them being human, too. That’s something we’ve known all along, though.

Unfortunately, the lack of affordability and the criminal (in)justice system’s BS aren’t the only things that have us questioning how healthcare workers are supposed to do their jobs, in the current climate or otherwise. McKay and Javadi treat a patient whose prolonged suffering from cancer is heartbreaking to witness, especially as Roxie (the patient in question) very clearly doesn’t want to be a burden and tries to make things easier on her loving, hovering husband while she’s slowly, painfully dying. As their characters care for their patient, that wordless communication between Fiona Dourif, Shabana Azeez, and Kristin Villanueva speaks of an overwhelming amount of compassion and grief. They know how helpless they are against her disease. McKay seems almost hesitant to touch Roxie for fear she might break, Javadi’s at a loss, and Princess…is so very…different. With everything these three have seen, this is unbearable.

The Pitt Season 2 Episode 5 is a powerful look at Roxie’s agony, and Gus’, and Mr. Diaz’s — and so much more. It’s thought-provoking, upsetting, and even occasionally inspiring, and the way it exposes these systemic issues, while still treating the people used to represent them as individuals is as excellent as ever. The same goes for how well the series, and the hour, continues to develop its main characters and crack open their personal struggles. It’s tense at times, wildly entertaining at others — Whitaker and Santos are a hilarious pair of roomies — and always just great TV.

“Interrupted? Sucks to be you!”

The Pitt Season 2 Episode 5 sees Dr. Santos sitting down to work on her charting, only for some person or another to interrupt her before she can even get started. It happens multiple times, and in case anyone ever had a doubt, this hour proves that Trinity isn’t behind on this part of her job because she’s been slacking. She can’t keep up because it’s not humanly possible with her being pulled in so many directions. So, why Dr. Al-Hashimi keeps singling her out, when we see everyone overworked all the time, I still have no idea. Does she see the ego and the bullying that we’ve come to realize is a protective exterior and think she can put Santos in her place? Is she just trying to force her AI on the easiest target? Or what.

I’m not sure if we’re going to get that answer any time soon, if ever. Even if we never do, the whole Santos vs. Charting war (Santos’ Charting vs. Interrupters?) still makes for some really interesting TV. In the first place, it gives us more hilarious insight into the roommate situation with Whitaker. We transition from a shot that’s fully focused on Dr. Santos, echoing her focus on her work, to that blurred Whitaker in the background, basically manifesting himself in her peripheral. She tries to block him out…and fails. Bam. There he is. Before we can even blink, Isa Briones’ matter-of-fact, technical manner of speaking is totally obliterated. Its replacement? An irritated AF “Jesus Christ.” Insert Gerran Howell’s totally-confused face, best described as “???” in my notes, here.

Then, a totally clueless Dennis tries to figure out why his roommate and friend is upset with him. He tries to empathize, saying he knows the second year of residency can be stressful, offering to help any way he can. It’s all very well-meaning, yet clueless. Santos has no time as it is, and he’s wasting it. So, Trinity stays closed off the whole time he offers her support until, finally, she winds up cocking her head just so and giving him an extremely pointed look. Howell’s timing is excellent when he pauses for Whitaker to react to that expression before the “like stop talking?” Briones plays very well off of that with the “that’s a great idea.” And then, that upbeat “yeah” that sends Whitaker on his way is a nice comedic exit for Howell.

But Dr. Santos doesn’t get a moment’s peace after that. Now, Dana’s interrupting to tell her a patient needs her. And the way that Briones leans into that “I’m” as Santos starts to explain she’s behind is brilliant. So, too, is Katherine LaNasa with Dana’s tough love, don’t care, “cry me a river.” (And everything, really.) As Dana explains about the patient with abdominal pain needing help, it’s like the walls are closing in on Santos. Not only does LaNasa physically walk in Briones’ direction, but the camera also gives us this sense of Dana getting in her face, coming at her, creating pressure. But she’s Dana, so she’s not really trying to be mean. It’s just…there’s the work. And Santos is overwhelmed by it.

Never thought I’d say this, but it’s like Santos is whining as she asks Dana to do her a solid. At one point, the way Briones fidgets — that hand tap-tap-tapping on the desk — speaks to far more anxiety than even the begging lets on. And despite Dana coming up with the solution to have her teach (push some patient care off on Ogilvie) while she charts, The Pitt Season 2 Episode 5 sees Dr. Santos increasingly frazzled. She takes some of that out on Ogilvie with her crappy attitude. Then, there’s her mean glee when she realizes she can make both him and Dr. Whitaker a little bit miserable because an elderly patient needs a digital disimpaction. There’s a certain inspired look in Briones’ eye when Santos tells Ogilvie she knows “just the guy” to teach him how to do it. Immediately after, there’s that absolutely devilish grin.

Notably, there’s one time Santos doesn’t lash out or otherwise show she’s cracking under the pressure — when Robby’s the one to take her attention away from her ever-growing pile of work. Briones and Wyle have a certain effortless dynamic whenever they share the screen, implying a closeness between their characters that’s about her bringing the Langdon issue to his attention as much as, if not more than, having worked together for 10 months. If Whitaker is Robby’s favorite now (and I’d argue he is) Santos an extremely close second.

But when Santos minimizes the whole charting situation and is easy-breezy casual in describing Ogilvie’s issues over the course of the hour, there’s more at play than just having a strong mentor/mentee relationship. She wants — needs — to impress her attending and look like she’s more capable than she actually feels. Fake it ’til you make it, if you will. If she’d actually admit to her vulnerabilities, no good leader would hold them against her. After all, she’s actually a pretty good doctor and an outstanding (if sometimes, um, inappropriate about it) advocate for young patients. But when your confidence is shaken and you’re as rundown and pulled in a zillion directions as Santos is, you don’t see any of the ways that you’re a success. All you see is that you’re a failure, who will never, ever be enough.

It’s easy to realize that that’s where Santos is in The Pitt Season 2 Episode 5 because Briones does such a good job of the varying, unique negative reactions to all those interruptions. The character’s strength is buckling under all of that weight; she’s drowning in paperwork, expectations, and this fear of failure. So, she resorts to punching down to feel better about herself. And, when the one person who she knows has a good opinion of her is there, yeah…Of course she lies a little bit about how manageable everything is. Come to think of it, Robby knows what that’s like, huh.

But hey! Charting isn’t all bad. At least it gives Dr. Santos an excuse to continue avoiding Dr. Langdon.

MORE: If you’ve ever wondered why Santos is the way she is, our interview with Isa Briones from last season might help with that.

“You can go.”

Over the past few hours, Dr. Langdon has slowly started to settle back in. There’s nothing really specific in one episode or another that gives that impression all at once, yet if we were to go back to the season premiere, the Langdon we see in that first hour of the shift would be nearly unrecognizable. Some of that’s a matter of the more technical visual cues — shots that isolate him a bit less, pacing that feels more natural in the moment — and a lot of it’s down to how Patrick Ball settles himself in with the character, no longer holding himself quite as…at odds with his own skin, for lack of a better way of describing it. But, as The Pitt Season 2 Episode 5 makes very clear, there’s one key area where the discomfort is, if anything, worsening over time instead of improving: the situation with Dr. Robby.

Debbie was one of the first patients, if not the very first patient, Langdon saw on his own out in Triage today. With her back and in much worse shape, and after Dr. Al-Hashimi (rightly) brought the resident to the back instead of wasting him like Robby was doing — out of purely personal, “Robby likes to avoid his issues until they explode,” reasons — Frank and his former mentor have to work together. And, to his credit, he tries. He really, really tries. But his very presence, not anything he could possibly say or do today, is the problem. And, well, he can’t do anything about that.

As Robby lets his frustration blend in with the justified urgency he feels about Debbie’s case, Langdon speaks up and explains things to her. He’s honest about the dangers of her situation but tries to project a calm and a sense of safety as he translates all of Robby’s medical jargon into words the patient can understand. It’s almost as if he’s the student still trying to look out, and cover, for his unwell teacher. (Season 1 and, we can only imagine, many months before, all over again.) Ball plays those moments like the human equivalent of taking a deep breath or counting to 10, a centering or a reset so that both his character and the others present in the scene can process the moment and regroup.

At other times, rather than project the exact opposite of Noah Wyle’s frustrated, insecure, neurotic, and emotional buzz, Ball meets his energy. Langdon tries (unsuccessfully) to explain how the patient originally presented and that anyone would’ve treated her the same way he initially did. When the characters first confront each other in The Pitt Season 2 Episode 5, he’s noticeably tense. Afraid. He may as well be a kid who’s been sent to the principal’s office, despite not actually having done anything wrong at all. And, no matter what else occurs for the rest of the hour, whether he’s trying remain calm and in control, a little bit more timid, or just stunned and hurt, we always know that Frank Langdon knows what a Michael Robinavitch on edge looks like and what that can lead to.

Wyle, of course, plays every one of Dr. Robby’s heightened emotions, as well as this general hum underneath the surface — the sense of a caged animal, pacing back and forth, desperate to be let out — as well as ever. Not a single line gets wasted. In every interaction, his tone is clipped, pointed; in many, it’s dismissive. Physically, the way he snaps those exam gloves on and off tells us everything we need to know about the character’s mental state. (And um, it’s not good. He may or may not give the impression he wants to toss Langdon out just as swiftly and sharply as those gloves.)

After Langdon questions him one too many times, Robby gets up in his face to tell him “there are other criteria.” In the moment, Robby doesn’t have to actually touch him. And, yet, I kinda got the impression physically shoving him out of the way might have been less deliberate and combative. Ball’s reaction here is superb, as well. Langdon’s shock, as well as the sense that Robby did smack him, are both palpable.

What might be even more remarkable, from both Wyle and Ball, is how well they relate to each other and create this all-consuming, oppressing sense of friction even when they’re not directly interacting at all. Throughout The Pitt Season 2 Episode 5, there are these looks in each other’s direction. Sometimes, it’s a glare. At others, it’s something sadder. The only thing I can compare it to is two exes who went through a bad breakup and still care deeply for each other. Somewhere, deep down, they both want to go back to the good times — but one can’t get past the betrayal, while the other…knows what kind of explosion he’s likely going to cause if he pushes the issue.

Speaking of explosions: It’s pretty easy to see that, while Robby probably would’ve gone off on the surgeons after waiting so long and seeing Debbie’s case go from serious to deadly serious while Garcia (and Shamsi, Miller, and Walsh) were nowhere to be found, he might not have gone so hard if not for having Langdon also involved in the mess. But, at any rate, that’s another great moment for Wyle. Kind of a low point for Robby as a physician, considering how he just jerkily tosses that betadine all over Debbie’s wound and then slashes it open. Dude doesn’t consider the person attached to that leg, whatsoever, there. But still. Physically, it’s great work from Wyle just the same.

But then, the end of The Pitt Season 2 Episode 5 shows us something completely different. When Louie’s monitors start going off and Dr. Langdon starts scrambling to try to help him after realizing he didn’t just pull off his pulse ox again, Dr. Robby hears those alarms at nearly the same time. Langdon, already trying to save a patient we know that department sees frequently — and that viewers have now come to know and love during both seasons — is clearly terrified. Not only does he care about Louie, but there’s a certain sense of horror at the idea that Robby might blame him for this, too.

Regardless of what might happen next, though, this hour ends on a promising note. (For the doctors’ ability to make amends, at least. Definitely not for Louie.) Instead of everything that’s happened between them — all the lies, all the nasty words once Robby knew the truth — forcing them apart when they come into contact, now, muscle memory kicks in. They’re back in an old, familiar rhythm. An attending physician and his favorite resident, drawn together, shoulder to shoulder, working to help each other save a life. If only anything else about that closing scene was at all hopeful. And if only these actors weren’t so good at playing all that bad blood between them.

More The Pitt Season 2 Episode 5 reactions

“I don’t know that you’re going to make it back to work today.” …or ever, at this rate.
That sassy look Robby gives Langdon when he admits he’s the one who treated Debbie. Snarky AF “things have definitely gotten worse.” We get it, Doc. You and Frank are never, ever, ever getting back together.
No, but seriously, just give me a Santos/Whitaker comedy spinoff.
“Cry me a river. Old lady with bad abdominal pain. Somebody’s gotta see her.”
Children making correct choices: Scared Ogilvie being all, “yes, ma’am” with Dana.
“Doctor, tell him.” “Your wife’s right.” 10/10, no notes.
“And I’m sitting here and making sure he doesn’t move.” It’s the way Lorrie crosses those arms and pointedly sits there with her “don’t F with me” look for me.
I still go wildly back and forth on what I think of Dr. Al-Hashimi, but Sepideh Moafi is so incredibly well cast. She and Noah Wyle just play off of each other so very, very well. Like, take a look at when Dr. Al says she’s going to just observe, then almost immediately starts answering Debbie’s questions. All Wyle has to do is barely lift his chin and look grumpy. Moafi takes just the right amount of time to pick up on that before Dr. Al’s “sorry/” I can’t get over how well such a tiny interaction between the two of them just works. It stands out, despite so much going on and even with the way more developed Robby/Langdon drama unfolding right before our eyes.
Another major systemic issue: Folks needing to stay in sh***y jobs, with even sh***ier bosses. The woman’s in the emergency room, with a major infection, getting stuck with needles…and the boss is still trying to demand that she come in. F that guy.
Langdon isn’t the only one on the receiving end of the Robby glove snap: Check out that force before he takes that phone and goes off. “This is Dr. Michael Robinavitch. I am the Chief of Emergency Medicine at PTMC. If you fire her, she will sue you, and I will testify on her behalf.” And the way Wyle builds that intensity while still keeping Robby hyper controlled? Pitch perfect. Friends, methinks we’re getting more awards season nods next time around.
“You have every right to be upset, and you should absolutely pursue accountability. But right now, we are taking care of your brother, and you should really take care of yourself.” We have no choice but to at least temporarily stan Dr. Al.
Could someone please come to support Jayda Davis while she looks after her brother, though??? She can’t even go take time on her own without that worried backwards glance until Javadi promises to text her. And at that point, it’s like…she’s suddenly so worn out. Protect her!
“If there’s any change in her condition, come find me — I mean any change” Glove snap, glove snap. Right up in his Langdon’s face to toss the gloves…and Langdon’s reaction is basically “WTF just happened.”
“Is that — is that necessary?” No, we can clearly see that it’s not.
“Where were you when Mr. Varney got assaulted?” “I just move ‘em. I don’t get to know ‘em.” ACAB.
“What else can I do?” “I think you’ve done enough.” Ouch.
“You two kiss and make up yet?” “I think someone needs to smoke a cigarette.” “I’m trying to quit!” The way Dana rears back and looks all offended and is like…”hey, low blow” kind of voice…and he still has more to say. Also, like, you really want to send Dana out for a smoke after that was where she was when she got punched??? WTF, my dude.
“Everyone’s glad to have you back.” Robby walks past, pouting, glaring daggers. “Well. Not everyone.”
It’s actually really good that Langdon doesn’t participate in the betting pool. Nobody in recovery should be looking to get involved in something that can also lead to addictive behaviors.
“Gridlocked Granny.”
“Oh, come on, D, it’s like every time I get a moment to chart, I barely get a sentence out before I get — …” “…interrupted?! Sucks to be you! But trust me, it sucks worse for the poor gal in 16.” The timing.
“I’m beginning to think you enjoy torturing me.” Dana, unbothered, writing on that clipboard, glasses down, pointedly not even bothering to look at her, “perks of the job!”
Whitaker no. You stepped in it.
“Well if you have a sec, I — …” “I don’t.” Watch how Wyle just starts moving faster to get away and leaves Ball standing there. Langdon’s totally stunned, uncomfortable in his own skin, much less the space. And that’s after trying so hard to work himself up to saying anything in the first place.
“Do you ever consider quitting?” “You ever considered minding your own business?”
Also: “You got time to let us do that?” Dirty look over her shoulder, up at him, down, up. “Where the f*** else you think I gotta be?” LOVE HER.
The Pitt Season 2 Episode 5 really said, ACAB and F cancer, all in one hour. Good.
Everything hurts about Roxie saying “I’m sorry” to her worried husband. Also, they remind me of the O’Brien family in ER‘s “Such Sweet Sorrow.” All we need is for the kids to show up.
Ok but hear me out. On the one hand, we do not undermine Dr. Mohan in front of others. But on the other? Joy is a total and complete genius. Period.
“Food poisoning in the hall’s asking to leave, wants to take her kids to the water park” “Thoooooooose places are cesspools.”
Yes, Robby. You’re totally being smooth covering up your flirty little conversation with Noelle by getting on your knees right in front of her. Because you just had to stop right there to tie your shoe. Fool AF man.
That entire interaction between Dana and Noelle, on the other hand, is some freakin’ good TV. First off. “Motorcycle Mike.” Then, you have the way Katherine LaNasa plays Dana’s usual tone as she pointedly, like, indulges this lady’s gossip. That is, of course, until the comment about the TV in his bedroom, at which point she’s just absolutely scandalized she has to hear this. And her tone on “I really don’t think I needed to know that.”
Also: Poor guy really has to keep the noise on the TV in order to avoid the ghosts and drown out the noise in his head, huh. (Go to therapy instead of your mid-life crisis trip, Motorcycle Mike.)
“And, for the love of God, mask up when you move her.” What if they just…masked up, period? Wild, I know. Why wipe out a whole flu strain when you can keep playing games with your lives and everyone else’s, eh? Normal!
Not sure I needed the translation to know Perlah thought Mr. Dry Ice was stupid AF.
“Doesn’t seem like Robby’s all that happy I’m back.” (Understatement of the century?) “Well. He’s not going to be here. And I’m happy you’re back.” I’m fascinated by how Ball plays this. Langdon’s obviously shocked, yet grateful. But overall…I’m thinking he’s just as confused by this as I am? Why is she being so kind to him, specifically? Is Dr. Al trying to play “nice mom” to Robby’s “mean dad” energy with Langdon or what???
“You can just leave them off, man. He’s clearly not moving on his own.” EVEN HUCKLEBERRY HAS HAD ENOUGH OF THIS. That tone of voice on the second sentence, plus the way he throws those hands up slightly and looks at the guard dude like he’s disgusted…wow. How y’all going to even get Huckleberry in this kind of mood?
“We follow protocol. For his safety and yours.” Except if this b**** cared about Gus’ safety, he wouldn’t even be here. Or, at the very least, he’d let the doctors work unimpeded.
“If I ignore a problem for long enough, it just goes away, right?” He gets me.
“…only because I was already the assigned physician. But yeah, now I feel like an a**hole.” Poor guy’s like…explaining this/begging to be heard on it, but Langdon’s the one who needs to hear and internalize this. (Not anyone in that room.) Also: Again, he gets me. Dude’s anxious about something he said a few minutes ago, even as he’s dealing with all of this.
“Langdon’s fine. He went to rehab, he’s working the steps, and — hopefully — it’s all behind him.” In Dr. Mohan we trust. There’s a reason we all love her.
“Do you want me to call Langdon?” “No.” Clipped, short, no.
“Did you bring Langdon back here?” “No. Al-Hashimi did. You banished him to scut purgatory. He did everything you would’ve done with that cellulitis patient. And if you think he missed something, tell him.” Oh, Dana has had enough. I love this relationship. She’s easy with him earlier in the hour (and day). But eventually? Nah. No more. Robby’s going to hear what he needs to hear.
Again with Moafi and Wyle being super scene partners: That combative exchange about Robby treating Al-Hashimi like one of his residents. WHEW. The smooth, self-assured, smirking way she throws his words back at him and gets him totally, like, sheepish is everything.
…if only she’d STFU about generative AI, we could fully stan.
“My husband, cracking jokes while I’m dying. See why I married him?” She finds it funny, grins at him all lovey-like…and he…looks down when she says this because he wasn’t actually joking. Just slipped up with that “life saver” comment about Lena.
Not Donnie and Langdon being dumb boy bros watching that video.
“Jesus Christ. Go get anybody else from your service down here. Shamsi, Miiller, Walsh…” “I don’t know any of those people, but —…” “DON’T TAKE ANY OF THIS PERSONALLY! I JUST NEED A F***ING GROWNUP DOWN HERE!!” Ok but hear me out. It’s a bit much, yet I get it. Also, he totally froze there for a second to try and not do…well. That.
“Does a…Dr. MacGyver work here?” “I don’t know.” Hi. I’m old.
“Relax. You can take the mask off.” And then, “70% of doctors in training at urban hospitals get exposed to TB and wind up on meds.” WHAT IF WE DIDN’T RECOMMEND TAKING THE MASK OFF THEN FFS. Basic airborne infection control sounds much less “inconvenient” than this!
“Time to dig in.” Uh…
I hate that Joy went through that with her grandma, hate that the Diaz family is struggling financially…but love that we get this moment between her and Dr. Mohan. Mohan’s just, like, genuinely interested in how she came up with the idea, 100% sympathetic after she hears that Joy’s grandma died…and very confused when she hears the student doctor, on her ER rotation…knows she doesn’t want to be around dying people. Here’s hoping nobody needs her to help with Roxie.
Dennis Whitaker knows when things are about to get messy after his first day went…like that.
…but do we really need Ogilvie to continue being “not Whitaker” with so many weird similarities, though???
“For chrissake. Robinavitch. Robby, WTF are you doing?” A question.
“When do you start your sabbatical?” “Tomorrow.” “Not a moment too soon.” She looks like she wants to cut him, but like. He’s right that they don’t have time to wait? Anyway. That “thanks for coming down” is said more like, “ F you, going home!” than an actual thank you as he just…leaves.
I love how Alexandra Metz plays moments like that. So good.
“Sure, AI will make doctors more efficient, but hospitals will expect us to treat more patients — without any extra pay, of course. All the while eliminating staff positions for attendings and residents.” He’s right. And Dr. Al is ridiculously naive.
Dana just casually grabbing that cooler of beer and moving on to the next thing as she tells shoulder guy he can’t drink in the hospital. (Also, he can’t eat before surgery. Which they already told him.)
“I know somebody who could really use a drink right now.” “In the hospital?” “As a parting gift?” The (old school) shrug emoticon arms, though.
“Must be backed up.” “Or there’s a July 4th sale at the BMW dealership.” Ohhhh, look out, Robby. Based on that impressed look, you’re about to lose your favorite son.
This woman’s pain. And, for whatever reason, Princess just gently rubbing the back of her shoulder through all of it about broke me.
…clearly, Lena working as the death doula means she has to get the husband out of there so Roxie can feel comfortable just…being uncomfortable. Ouch.
Langdon having to be the one to find Louie just. Hurts.
Also: NOT LOUIE. PLEASE.
