Ahead of a new episode of The Pitt, some of the stars from Season 2 are unpacking the “nightmare” scene from the second episode. Many fans were quick to recognize Christopher T. Wood in The Pitt Season 2 as the Chili's Manager from The Office who kicks Pam out for being too drunk. Wood plays Ian Randall in The Pitt Season 2, a man who comes into the E.R. at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center with an erection he can’t get rid of after taking a double dose of ED medication.

Sepideh Moafi, who plays Dr. Al-Hashimi in The Pitt Season 2, recently sat down for an interview, and she recalled filming this scene. “I’m in that scene. I remember that scene very well,” she said. Continuing, “I have nightmares about that scene. I saw [the prosthetic] in the hair and makeup trailer, and I was like, ‘Who’s having fun between shots?’ I was like, ‘What is happening?’ And then I quickly realized what it was.” Supriya Ganesh, who plays the beloved Dr. Samira Mohan, also chimed in, “Every day I thank my lucky stars that I was not in that. I don’t think I could have kept a straight face.”

The Pitt creator R. Scott Gemmill also teased that there will be “some more terrible stories we’ll get to eventually,” saying that “some of them are pretty nasty.” It’s hard to believe the team at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center is only two hours into their day, and there’s no telling who, or what is going to come through the door before they all get to go home.
