Does Dr. Mohan ever decide on an elective?
Throughout The Pitt's second season, Supriya Ganesh’s character, Dr. Samira Mohan, struggles to decide on an elective for medical school while also juggling personal issues with her mother. With the departure of the actress, 28, being announced shortly before the finale aired, viewers have wondered how her storyline wraps up.
Episode 15, which aired April 16, sees Noah Wyle’s Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch approaching Mohan in the ambulance bay at the end of their shift on the Fourth of July. The senior attending physician, who is planning to leave on a three-month sabbatical after he clocks out, asks her if she’s decided on an elective.
She says she hasn’t but mentions “maybe I will go into geriatrics” in reference to his earlier suggestion.
“It’s a smart choice,” he reassures her, before telling a personal story. “I know that life can be challenging, especially when it doesn’t work out the way you expect it. I thought I would be married with two kids in college by now, maybe have some property with a pond. We could play hockey on it in the wintertime. And yet, look at me now. No wife, no kids, no pond.”
“It’s never too late,” she replies, and the doctor asks, “Do you really believe that?” She says yes and he says, “Only for me or for you too?”
“Okay, I see what you did there. Was that true or something you just said to make a point?” Mohan asks Robby, who admitted to his friend in the previous episode that he was experiencing suicidal thoughts.
Robby avoids the question, instead asking her, “Have you worked things out with your mom?”
“We’re not talking," she says.
Mohan then apologizes for letting her personal issues “distract me” at work, given that she and Robby clashed over her panic attack earlier in the shift. “She was treating me like a child and I was letting her,” the doctor said about her mom.
She then tells Robby, "Have a good trip. Please be safe. We need you here, even if you can be a dick sometimes. Good luck."
Mohan is last seen on the rooftop watching fireworks with the other day shift employees.
