'The Pitt' Season 2 Episode 7 Sees the Return of Dr. Jack Abbott

Episode 7, "1:00 P.M.," picks up midshift as The Pitt’s doctors cope with a surge of patients after a nearby hospital is shut down by a cyberattack. Among the arrivals is Dr. Jack Abbot (Shawn Hatosy), the beloved night-shift attending who played a pivotal role in Season 1; he returns not from home but straight from the field.

Abbot appears in full SWAT uniform, bringing in an intubated officer wounded in a warehouse robbery. Though it isn’t his shift, he immediately takes the lead and earns the trust of new attending Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi (Sepideh Moafi), who recognizes his competence and the kinship of shared warzone experience.

The episode underscores Abbot’s restless dedication. He continues SWAT work by day, combines medical and combat experience, and even offers to pay to help a patient when the hospital cannot. He struggles with trauma and resists asking for help, but a quiet moment with Dr.
