It’s a new era on The Good Doctor, and the shake-ups we see may keep this show from becoming stale.

With two kids in a life-threatening condition due to a shooting, it puts into perspective, not just child-rearing but also how different belief systems clash.

As Clair and Asher share a moment and Morgan and Alex, Lea eclipses them all as she and Shaun make you glad this isn’t the season finale.

As Shaun, begrudgingly, enters a supervisory role, Morgan continues to push Claire and Alex’s buttons – and ends up discovering Alex’s secret.

So, “The Good Doctor” decides to end its third season in a very dramatic fashion in ways which may make it unrecognizable in season 4.

Alongside a hint as to what’s next for Dr. Lim, Shaun decides to tell Lea how he feels, and her reaction is…

A familiar face reappears this episode as Shaun deals with everyone pushing him to feel anxiety or be nervous over his first lead surgery.

The unexpected happens for Shaun in a multitude of ways, including him taking the kind of leap we’ve been waiting for a long time.

Guilt and regrets are prominent themes and emotions in “Faces” as old, and new, faces enter the characters’ lives.

Everyone’s baggage becomes an issue and while some unpack and deal with it, others barely unpack and just try to not let it hold them back.
