Spoiler alert! This story discusses Physician Odyssey’s Could 8 episode, “The Wave,” which might be streamed with a Hulu subscription if that you must catch up.
The season finale of Physician Odyssey is lower than per week away on the 2025 TV schedule, after a debut that has put the fictional cruise ship within the path of sharks, tsunamis and attractive spring breakers. Nonetheless, there’s been no official phrase from ABC on whether or not or not the Ryan Murphy sequence will sail once more. After the season’s penultimate episode, I’m beginning to surprise if we must be involved concerning the destiny of Dr. Max Bankman.
Why I’m Apprehensive Physician Odyssey Would possibly Kill Off Max
Physician Odyssey left Max (Joshua Jackson) in a reasonably dire state of affairs on the finish of “The Wave” — stranded on shore serving to others whereas The Odyssey sought deeper water to flee tsunami waves. Capt. Massey (Don Johnson) selected to interrupt protocol to return for the ship’s physician, at the same time as aftershocks continued to pose a menace, and the rescue will proceed within the second half of the two-part finale. The trailer provides us a style of what’s to come back:
Watch On
Regardless of Avery (Phillipa Soo) insisting she’s not in love with Max, she appears to be main the efforts to seek out him, and the top of the preview reveals her looking out the church the place we final noticed him earlier than yelling, “Max?”
My first thought upon seeing this was, “Do they actually count on us to imagine they’d kill Max?” However then virtually simply as rapidly I puzzled if that’s precisely what’s going to occur. Give it some thought: Ryan Murphy simply proved to us he’s not afraid to unalive his fundamental characters, with that surprising 9-1-1 loss of life. Then there’s the matter of Physician Odyssey not being renewed or canceled by ABC but.
What if that is all a part of a much bigger plan?
What’s Been Mentioned About Physician Odyssey Season 2?
Physician Odyssey stays one among ABC’s solely reveals in purgatory, as much more renewals got here down the pipe on Friday. Community exec Craig Erwich beforehand mentioned they had been taking their lead from Ryan Murphy and persevering with inventive conversations.
Nonetheless, what if the choice has already been made? What if the plan is to kill Joshua Jackson’s character and finish the present, however they’re not telling us that but as a result of they don’t need to spoil the finale?
I perceive that I’m spiraling a bit, however this idea isn’t extra far-fetched than the entire fever dream idea that means none of that is actual and that Max — aka COVID’s Affected person 0 — by no means recovered from coronavirus and is caught in a coma.
That may be fairly thrilling as nicely, however I really feel like we’re dwelling in a TV age the place no person’s protected, and that appears very true for a sequence whose destiny hasn’t but been introduced.
Will Max and the remaining survive “The Wave, Half 2”? Is ABC ready for the season finale to tell us their resolution on Season 2? Will we ever get that musical episode? Fortunately, we have now lower than per week earlier than we discover out. Physician Odyssey’s season finale (sequence finale??) will air at 9 p.m. ET Thursday, Could 15, on ABC and might be streamed the subsequent day on Hulu.
