The Pitt Episode 14 “8 PM” on MAX delivers another shocking twist for its audience. When the police arrive at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital, their presence isn’t related to troubled teen David (Jackson Kelly) or the sneaky reporter infiltrating the ED; they are there to arrest Dr. Cassie McKay (Fiona Dourif) for interfering with her ankle monitor during the mass casualty incident.
**Spoilers for The Pitt Episode 14 “8 PM,” now streaming on MAX**
Fans of The Pitt will recall that medical student Victoria Javadi (Shabana Azeez) noticed McKay’s ankle monitor at the beginning of the season, hinting at a past criminal offense. It was later unveiled that it was connected to a confrontation McKay had with Chloe (Jonetta Kaiser), her ex’s irritating girlfriend and the proud wearer of a “Bonus Mom” t-shirt.
“There was a specific incident that caused the ankle monitor that I think is pretty teased out,” The Pitt star Fiona Dourif explained to DECIDER. “It’s very clear in my head.”
“I think it was bullshit. Unfair and quite embarrassing. I think that’s basically how McKay thinks about it.”
When McKay’s ankle monitor starts malfunctioning in the middle of the mass casualty event, it causes stress and consternation for everyone around her. Dr. Langdon (Patrick Ball) even says the noise is making it impossible for him to think.
McKay then uses an EZ IO drill to break it so everyone can continue to work.
“Are you gonna to get in trouble for that?” Whitaker (Gerran Howell) asks.
“Probably,” is all McKay says in reply.
Well, not even an hour later, and trouble has found McKay. Two police officers arrive at the hospital and promptly place McKay under arrest. So does this mean Dr. McKay is going to jail? Here’s what you need to know about the end of The Pitt Episode 14 “8 PM”…
When DECIDER spoke with Pitt star Fiona Dourif last week, we asked her how worried fans should be about the potential for Dr. McKay to wind up in prison in the finale.
“Um, they should be very worried about everybody,” Dourif said. “Yeah, I mean, you’ll find in episode 15, a lot of knots are tied with every character, actually.”
“I thought that script was my favorite of all of them that were written. I think [showrunner R.]Scott Gemmell did an incredible job of writing in, I would say, frustration, humiliation, and resolve for McKay.”
So no spoilers here, but it definitely does not look good for Dr. McKay right now. There are multiple witnesses who saw her tamper with her ankle monitor. That said, those same witnesses saw her doing so to save lives.
You’ll have to tune in to next week’s Season 1 finale for The Pitt to find out what happens next to McKay, Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle), and the rest of the crew…
