SPOILER ALERT: This post contains spoilers for “9:00 pm,” the Season 2 finale of “The Pitt,” now streaming on HBO Max.

The final two episodes of “The Pitt” were extremely heavy as Noah Wyle‘s Dr. Robby admitted he wasn’t sure he wanted to be alive anymore — but in the end, it was coming face-to-face with Baby Jane Doe that changed him, for good.

“This has been a very cathartic exercise for me as well, and I feel like I am getting to honestly offload some things that I’ve been feeling, that everybody’s been feeling,” Wyle says about Robby’s mental health struggles this season. During the penultimate episode, Robby admitted aloud that he isn’t sure he wants to be here anymore, a line that Wyle wrote after a real doctor told him a story in which he’d said something similar to his wife, which prompted him to get help.
