Shawn Hatosy on Abbot's unexpected arrival and the Al-Hashimi clash

Season 2 of The Pitt opens with the episode "1:00 P.M.," which reveals Westbridge Hospital's "Code Black" is caused by a cyberattack that forces The Pitt offline and sends patients to PTMC. In that hour, Shawn Hatosy's Dr. Jack Abbot rolls in with a SWAT team in fatigues, arriving just as the ER prepares for the worst.

Hatosy recalls Abbot's last moment with Robby on a rooftop and says the character is checking in on Robby's mental health this season, even urging therapy. Abbot's unexpected entrance comes from moonlighting as a SWAT medic, and his arrival brings him face-to-face with the new attending, Dr.

Al-Hashimi, as Robby plans a sabbatical and the two leaders overlap. Sepideh Moafi describes the early scenes with Noah Wyle as a joy to play: two strong leaders with different approaches.
