Gotta sneak in that jab on medicare cuts. God forbid taxpayers don't subsidize the entire medical system.

The good bits of this episode felt like a pilot for a night version of this show.
The rest... felt messy. Some of it intentionally so and some of it because we haven't had the time to breathe and deal with some of this interpersonal stuff so I get it.
Some casting news today for season 3:

Some casting news today for season 3:
Ayesha Harris, left, who’s recurred as senior night shift resident Dr. Parker Ellis since season one of “The Pitt,” will be upped to a series regular in season three, but Supriya Ganesh, right, who’s played senior resident Dr. Samira Mohan since season one, will depart the series after season two.
TV Talk: Cast members staying on, leaving ‘The Pitt’
It was bound to happen that some of the series regulars on “The Pitt” would not stay with the show for the entirety of its run. After all, the fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center is a teaching hospital, a career steppingstone for most, not a destination. Variety reports Supriya Ganesh,

If the writer's were more clever they could have used the human trafficking plot point from season one to introduce a nuanced moment during the ICE interaction.
*ICE obstruction shit goes down then settles out a bit*
*Pitt staff talking loudly, and the names Dr. Mackay and Nurse Evans gets mentioned*
*ICE officer's ears perk up, and he pulls out a note pad and starts checking information*
"Excuse me, did here someone say Mackay and Evans? "
*Mackay and Evans identify themselves*
"Incredible, by chance, several months ago, did you give a pen with a hidden number to patient being trafficked?"
"I didn't know if it was truth or a story, so I wrote down the names she gave us who helped her, but the lady was able to use the number and the people from the number ultimately contacted higher ups in ICE and we were able to follow the leads and bust that human trafficking operation. Because you gave her the number we were able to rescue several dozens of women and children from a major sex trafficking ring, and arrest those responsible. If you are indeed the Mackay and Evans. Thank you."
Or something along those lines. But probably too grey and subversive to modern expectations, where portraying ICE as something more than evil gestapo thugs is too complex a view.

Looks like it'll be a topic for season 3:
Noah Wyle wrote this episode, and thought it was one of the best of the season. That Langdon redemption bit might be one of the best scenes of the series - I just hope he comes back clean. A normal TV show would set that up for disappointment, a finale with 'hey, we need to talk about this drug test' cliffhanger or something. They've seemed to avoid those rather than indulge in them for the drama - but they've been hinting at this ever since he carried that kid in (winces here and there, leaning on things). I hope we just get the clean redemption and we can move on.
TVLINE | We've seen a lot of these characters struggle with mental health in ways they can, at least theoretically, manage. With Al-Hashimi, you introduce something far more definitive — a diagnosis that could take emergency medicine off the table entirely. What did that open up for you, storytelling-wise, that the other struggles didn't?
We've seen these characters struggle with mental health, but we haven't really seen them deal with a physical issue like this — something that could derail a career. With Baran, it's that classic "physician, heal thyself" question. What kind of patient is she going to be? Is she in denial about what she's facing? It certainly seems like she's been pushing it to the edge, and now she's confronted with the reality of whether she can continue to practice medicine. It's a really interesting situation, and we'll continue to explore it in Season 3.
