The Good Doctor decides to tease multiple characters being written or killed off because ending things on a happy note is not an option.
Shaun and Lea feel the pressure of being put on a pedestal as Clare tries to decide if Dr. Lim should remain on one in her mind.
Alongside the marketed surprise appearance, Sophie asks Shaun and Lea some hard questions, and another nurse gets to step into the spotlight.
With everyone on magic mushrooms, by accident, quite a few begin expressing repressed feelings as Shaun, Jordan, Morgan, and Dr. Glassman try to hold things down.
In a feel-good episode, siblings, mothers, sons, Shaun and Lea, and Alex and Morgan make progress in their relationships through some healthy conflict management.
As Shaun and Lea try to figure out how to reconnect sexually, Asher starts contemplating life outside of focusing on hooking up for intimacy.
As Dr. Andrews handles the post-Salen transition, Shaun finds himself forced to deal with a precocious 10-year-old whose barrage of questions forces him to open up about feelings he seldom speaks on.
The war against Salen reaches its peak as many doctors make it clear you are either with them or against them – no one can sit on the sidelines.
Anti-Salen sentiment grows as she punishes Dr. Lim and implements another change many, especially Shaun, doesn’t think is good for the hospital.
Shaun finds himself questioning if Lea settled for him as Dr. Lim preps for war against Salen, who creates a David vs. Goliath dynamic.
The most exciting season of The Good Doctor ends its first half with an unexpected person of Dr. Glassman’s past and a devasting ending that may change everything.
It seems Dr. Andrews may not be the only one prepping for Dr. Glassman’s eventual absence, though everyone isn’t seeing his exit as a means to get a leg up.
As the first round of results from Salen’s client reviews come in, some take it as a matter of pride while others are devastated. Alongside that, Salen takes a major risk.
As Salen’s presence forces Shaun out of his protective bubble, it forces the man who created that bubble to reconsider his priorities.
As Shaun’s issues with Salen’s changes reach a fever pitch, many seek out Dr. Glassman to intervene due to being unwilling or unable to talk to Salen and change her mind.
It’s a new era on The Good Doctor, and the shake-ups we see may keep this show from becoming stale.
While it seemed the major storyline would be Shaun and Lea getting down the aisle, a new character may make that a secondary issue.
The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
