Dr. Robby Robinavitch, played by Noah Wyle, heads up the day shift at the hospital in The Pitt, a critically acclaimed TV show from 2025, alongside a team of doctors and nurses. A major change happened during the first season with the departure of senior resident Heather Collins (Tracy Ifeachor). After the episode “Quyen Tran,” she disappeared from the show. She had confided in Robby about a past pregnancy and abortion that he was unaware of, and was also dealing with the recent loss of another pregnancy. Robby encouraged her to take time off to cope. Shortly after, the team responded to a mass shooting at a concert. They tried contacting Dr. Collins, but she had followed Robby’s advice and turned off her phone. She didn’t reappear for the rest of the season, and it was later confirmed she wouldn’t be returning to the show. It’s currently unknown how her departure will be explained in future episodes.

Early viewers enjoyed the movie’s humor and emotional depth, but IGN’s Matt Donato wasn’t impressed, giving it a poor 4 out of 10. He felt the film failed to live up to the charming cheesiness of the original 1997 movie, and despite its unique premise, it felt predictable and relied too heavily on crude humor, obvious music cues, and over-the-top action reminiscent of Tropic Thunder.
Carol feels relieved learning The Others won’t force her to join them. They need her stem cells to make a virus tailored to her, but they won’t perform any risky procedures without her permission due to their peaceful beliefs. Believing she’s safe, Carol decides to enjoy the breakdown of traditional ownership and relax.
