Did Robby finally tell Langdon what he really thinks?
The Pitt's second season sees senior attending physician Dr. Robby and senior resident Dr. Frank Langdon, respectively portrayed byNoah WyleandPatrick Ball, navigating their ruptured relationship.
Langdon was ousted from the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center in the show's first season after he was caught stealing drugs. Now that he's back in the ER following a brief stint in rehab, he has been attempting to reconcile with his boss.
Robby, however, wants nothing to do with him, and he makes that clear in the Feb. 19 episode.

The two have a tense encounter while heading to the roof to escort a new patient who was transported to the hospital via helicopter. They look at each other during their elevator ride, but otherwise remain in silence.
Robby and Langdon engage in small talk while walking to the roof, with Langdon noting, "I picked a hell of a day to come back, huh?" He then asks for an update on Robby's former stepson, and receives a curt answer.
"Okay, I'm just going to say it," Langdon shouts over the noise of the incoming helicopter. "I'm sorry. I betrayed your trust. I betrayed our patient's trust. And I'm really f---ing sorry. It'll never happen again, I swear."
Robby briefly looks away before telling the resident, "I'm really glad you got the help that you need." He proceeds to drop a devastating kicker: "But I don't know if I want you working in my ER."

What does this mean for Robby and Langdon? Will the two ever make up? Langdon has already made amends withcharge nurse Dana Evansand the patient he stole from, but will he be able to regain Robby's trust?
While Langdon's apology could've been delivered at a better time, given the chaos of the moment, he has made multiple attempts to talk to Robby throughout the season. Robby, in return, has simply banned the doctor to work in triage, away from the main team.
Ball, 36, teased thefuture of Langdon and Robby's relationshipin an interview with PEOPLE ahead of the season 2 premiere.

"There's a lot of damage that has been left in his wake, and I think there's a lot of shame that he carries surrounding that," the actor said of his character.
"I think there is a major conversation to be had with Robby," Ball adds, "and I hope we get to have it."
