Did you work out Abbott is a single-leg amputee in The Pitt ? If you did spot the shocking finale twist a mile off, you weren’t the only one. The binge-worthy TV show ended with the day shift trying to decompress from the shift from hell. Amidst the spontaneous debrief, Abbott is revealed to be a single-leg amputee, missing his right leg from the knee down.
We already knew the medic was a military veteran, with hints about his past outside the ER dropped in throughout Season 1. We still don’t know too much about his army days, and judging by the response of his co-workers while watching him take off his leg, they don’t either. Before The Pitt Season 2 can dig up more dirt on Abbott, there’s a nine-month wait in store.
But for some fans, this shocking twist was something they always saw coming. The Pitt fans sensed Abbott amputation reveal days before the finale Three days before The Pitt Season 1 finale aired, fans took to Reddit to muse , “What is the finale ‘reveal’ about Abbott? I’m wondering if we’ll learn that he has a prosthetic foot as a result of his time in the army.” How did they guess? “I seem to remember seeing a curious BTS shot of him with one foot wrapped in a bright bandage you might use for CGI.
” On top of this, Abbott was seen in earlier episodes with a blood bag strapped to his leg, suggesting something was wrong with his physical self from the jump. Another fan agreed, “It could be? Wouldn’t be too surprised, though we could probably go back and look at the leg shot when he’s giving blood maybe verify?” “Interesting theory. I’ve heard nothing of a reveal on him, but if there is one I could see a missing limb or appendage from battle,” a third weighed in.
Related The 1923 Season 2 finale episode is coming sooner than you think If you missed what actually happened at the end of The Pitt Season 1, here’s a quick recap. As Robby and Abbott clock off and join some of the others in the park for a beer, Abbott is seen taking off a prosthetic leg. His right leg has seemingly been amputated from the knee down, with Abbott giving no explanation while he whips it out in front of everyone.
While the junior medics around him try not to gawp in surprise, we also learn Abbott would rather be working nights. Whether this is something that is picked up in Season 2 remains to be seen, but we’ve got a lot more personal background we need to get through first.
