Tensions rode high in this week’s episode when Isabelle, who returned with a recast, brought a couple pregnant with sextuplets ready to be birthed 11 weeks before their due date. The struggles of keeping the newborns healthy and alive went hand in hand with the doctors’ personal worries.
Shaun and Lea were ready to try for a baby again but learned she might have yet another miscarriage due to Asherman’s syndrome. Isabelle and Andrews reunite while Park and Morgan work together to search for a sperm donor for her child.
1. Episode 8 Synopsis/Speculation
Shaun, Asher, and Aaron meet a patient with an infected surgical sponge left in their abdomen. Meanwhile, Morgan must face her own past when she treats the victim of a horrific assault.
This week’s episode opened an emotionally traumatic wound for Shaun and Lea Aswell and next week’s episode will do something similar for Morgan. We’ll finally see her revisit and heal from the trauma of being an assault victim.
The accidental sponge in the abdomen indicates that the victim could file a suit against the hospital shortly, which may give way to The Good Lawyer spinoff.
This week’s episode doesn’t properly deal with Shaun’s despair over learning about Lea’s condition and their ability to have a child successfully. We’ll definitely see further implications of this new detail in the upcoming episode.
Isabelle’s return to Marcus’ life may be the show’s way of showing that sometimes couples can find love again. We’ll just have to wait and see if the divorced couple has some chance of union or not.
The next episode will also deal with the animosity between Dr. Lim and Dr. Murphy that aggravated during her surgery in the previous season.
Morgan’s decision to work with Park, looking for a sperm donor, will cause them to reconcile after their breakup. what if it works too well? Will they get back together? You’ll have to wait till the next episode!
