The Pitt Season 2 returned to HBO this Thursday, and it begins ten months after the first season. Now, the season 2 premiere reintroduces us to almost every character from the first season, with some new additions. However, one character did not return for the second season: Tracy Ifeachor's Dr. Heather Collins.
The hospital staff finds an abandoned baby in this episode. They perform regular check-ups on the baby. The closing minutes feature a major revelation about the health condition of the baby, but we are not told the diagnosis. This revelation will probably be revealed in The Pitt Season 2 Episode 2 next Thursday.
"THE PITT is a realistic examination of the challenges facing healthcare workers in today’s America as seen through the lens of the frontline heroes working in a modern-day hospital in Pittsburgh."

What happened in the season 2 premiere?
Like The Pitt season 1, this season consists of fifteen episodes that will unfold over Independence Day. The first episode sets up major plotlines for this season, such as Kylie Connors's mysterious injuries, the abandoned baby, and Robby and Langdon's fractured relationship. Noah Wyle spoke about Robby and Langdon's relationship in the Deadline interview after the season 2 premiere:
“Langdon really wants to be validated by Robby again, and Robbie really doesn’t want to have anything to do with Langdon. We think that it is because Langdon is the disappointment, you know, the student who betrayed him and lied to his face. And as the season progresses, you start to see that in some ways, Robby blames himself for Langdon’s behavior more than he blames Langdon, because he was the teacher, and it happened on his watch. Langdon was his star student, and that was more of a moral failing for Robby than it was for Langdon. Some of his hesitancy to be around him is like Superman being around kryptonite. He now represents somebody who has gone down the therapeutic road, faced their demons, made amends, humbled themselves, and come back to try to rebuild their life—but Robby’s not there yet. So it’s an interesting situation the two men find themselves in.”
Therefore, it seems that the two men will probably resolve their issues soon in the upcoming episodes of The Pitt Season 2.
