HBO on Tuesday released the trailer<\/a> for Season\u00a02, which sees Dr. Robby\u00a0preparing to go on sabbatical.\u00a0The trailer opens with\u00a0a quick mashup of trauma cases and\u00a0Dr.\u00a0Robby\u00a0walking into\u00a0the Pitt\u00a0for another 15-hour shift,\u00a0appropriately\u00a0sighing,\u00a0\u201cAnd so, it begins.\u201d\u00a0It also reveals that\u00a0the\u00a0center\u2019s charge nurse,\u00a0Dana (Katherine LaNasa),\u00a0is back to\u00a0make sure things run\u00a0smoothly\u00a0after she considered calling it quits last season, and that Dr. Frank Langdon (Patrick Ball) is also\u00a0reentering\u00a0the mix after\u00a0abandoning his favored, senior\u00a0resident position\u00a0for\u00a0rehab in\u00a0Season 1.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
