On the March 12 episode of HBO’s The Pitt, titled “4:00 PM,” the hectic medical drama saw the good doctors of Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center’s emergency room deal with the fallout of a slide collapse at a local waterpark on the July 4 holiday.
Among the chaos of carnage of the poor folks caught in the calamity, audiences are also introduced to a new character, motorcycle engineer Duke Ekins, played by Jeff Kober, whom Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle) has been waiting patiently for since the beginning of the season. Duke gets the red carpet treatment at Dr. Robby’s insistence to have his throat checked out.
