[Warning: The following post contains MAJOR spoilers for Doctor Odyssey Episode 9, “Shark Attack!”]
There are quite a lot of gnarly accidents incurred on the most recent episode of Physician Odyssey — and we don’t simply imply the shark bites, both. Max’s (Joshua Jackson) ego additionally will get bruised immediately when Avery (Phillipa Soo) provides him a reasonably extreme tongue-lashing on the seashore.
After he asks her the place her thoughts is at together with her being pregnant, she snaps, “I’m not sure that you’re the one which I ought to be speaking to.” However why? She elaborates, “We have been having enjoyable. We’re not courting. We’re not dedicated. I don’t count on you to be the daddy. That is my determination, and it’s a giant one, and I would like time and house to determine it out. Please let me have that.”
The dialog is already over at that time, however particularly so when Tristan (Sean Teale) drags Spencer Monroe (Marcus Emanuel Mitchell) onto shore with a large shark chew on his leg. From there, the medical crew will get to work to save lots of the primary officer from shedding his leg — first, by eradicating the tooth from his flesh after which by cooling his physique in order that he can stave off the an infection that’s threatening to take over.
Because the ship races to achieve a port with a hospital for Spence, they’re diverted by a misery name from a sinking boat that’s surrounded by sharks. On board is a trauma surgeon-turned-captain named Brooke (visitor star Adrianne Palicki) who’s already triaged the others. One affected person requires a double amputation, and the surgical suite is tense as Max and Brooke navigate who’s the lead on the case, with Avery aiding.
After the process, Brooke goes again to his room for a bathe, and, after a little bit of playful banter, she makes it clear to Max that she’s keen on taking off her towel proper then and there on his sofa. We don’t get to search out out whether or not Max reciprocates her curiosity earlier than Avery knocks on the door. Avery is shocked to see Brooke’s state of undress, however when he tries to clarify and guarantees he would’ve declined Brooke’s advances, she attire him down: “It’s very clarifying,” she says. “This morning you mentioned you needed youngsters and a household, presumably, probably with me. After which later, I noticed you surgery-flirting with scorching shark physician. And then you definately invited her to take a bathe in your room. I’m unsure what that each one means, nevertheless it’s not nothing.”
We’ll have to attend and see how this all unfolds — particularly now that the ship has been stopped due energy failure, and it’s surrounded by a pod of indignant orcas — however what do you assume? Ought to Max simply go for it with Brooke? Or ought to he maintain out hope that Avery comes round to him?
