In the emergency room, time is usually the enemy, but during The Pitt's devastating hour, the threat was tactical.

The Pitt trades silicon for scribbles in its ninth episode of Season 2, and the result is a pulse-pounding hour of analog anxiety. With the hospital still crippled by a ransomware cyberattack, the staff at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center is forced to ditch their digital systems and go fully analog.

And honestly? It makes for one of the season’s most human episodes yet. Here's a recap and review.
