For as soon as, Morgan wasn’t probably the most obnxious particular person within the room.
Her dilemma was sympathetic on The Good Doctor Season 3 Episode 18, whereas Shaun acted like a jerk for many of the hour.
There was a ton of drama within the penultimate episode earlier than the season finale, too, however not all of it labored equally properly.
Morgan’s rheumatoid arthritis has been rigorously constructed up over the course of The Good Doctor Season 3.
Her refusal to inform anybody however Glassman about her points has been reckless and irritating at occasions.
However, Glassman’s insistence that she forgets about being a surgeon and simply discover one other ardour was insensitive and unhelpful, to say the least.
He was talking from expertise. After his mind most cancers scare, he gave up neurosurgery for his clinic.
However Glassman is an older man who had a full profession earlier than he needed to make changes. Morgan is younger and simply beginning as a physician. So it is not the identical in any respect.
Plus, Morgan noticed how properly her affected person’s prosthetic limbs labored.
The affected person felt having to have his arms amputated was a loss, however for her, it was proof that there was nonetheless hope for her.
In any case, by the point her fingers started to fail her, there may very well be prosthetics or different know-how that will enable her to maintain doing surgical procedure.
Glassman: I heard you are leaving surgical procedure. It isn’t straightforward, however I believe it is the suitable name.
Morgan: I do not. I like working. I will have the surgical procedure on my fingers.
Glassman: Effectively, that is silly.
Glassman is about as blunt as Shaun is — that is in all probability the place Shaun will get it from– however his response to Morgan was ridiculous.
You do not inform a affected person who has selected a remedy choice you do not agree with that they are being silly. You simply do not.
No less than Morgan hasn’t mistaken mentorship emotions for real love, although.
I ought to have seen Claire’s emotions for Melendez coming.
They had been making such a giant deal out of how they had been simply buddies, and it wasn’t something inappropriate, and the primary rule of drama is that the extra you telegraph one thing like that, the larger the lie.
However anticipated or not, it’s irritating.
I want that for as soon as, a platonic relationship might have stayed platonic. What’s so mistaken with folks being and having good, supportive buddies that TV reveals all the time have to show them into some form of twisted romance?
Plus, Melendez’s romantic storylines by no means work out too properly, and he’s undoubtedly off-limits so far as Claire is anxious. He is alleged to be mentoring her, for goodness sake.
Therapist: Need to inform me what’s in your thoughts?
Claire: Probably not. I believe I am in love with my boss.
Even when it is unrequited, which it in all probability is, it should be awkward as hell for Claire to spend time round Melendez, and he or she’s throwing away a relationship that makes her pleased for nothing.
Melendez gave Shaun the powerful love he wanted to surrender his pity get together and get again to work, although.
Melendez: So assume outdoors the field.
Shaun: There isn’t any field. That may be a silly expression and you’re losing time simply since you wish to be good to her [Claire].
Melendez: I am not being good.
Shaun: You ARE being good.
Melendez: No, I am utilizing my years of expertise to make a suggestion. And also you’re being a jerk.
He was proper — Shaun was performing like a jerk, and it wasn’t as a result of his autism made him not know higher.
Shaun was depressed and was making poor choices due to it, identical to Claire did after her mom died. Somebody needed to make it clear that persevering with to behave any method he felt like would have penalties.
Melendez did that completely, and Shaun took step one towards getting previous his double heartbreak consequently.
The dangerous information, in fact, was that Shaun noticed Natalie bust up Finn’s automotive and thought that was a good suggestion.
No less than he did not undergo with it, although the verbal lashing he gave Lea wasn’t a lot better.
Lea: Shaun? What are you doing?
Shaun: I wish to smash your automotive.
Lea: That feels like a very dangerous concept.
Lea’s response to Shaun desirous to smash her automotive home windows made me snort, however his tirade made me really feel dangerous for her.
I am not a lot of a Lea fan, however OUCH. No person desires to listen to all of the ways in which they suck, particularly not from somebody they had been shut buddies with as soon as.
Now that Shaun’s obtained that out of his system, the query is the place issues will go from right here.
As The Good Physician Season three heads towards an epic two-part season finale, will Lea take Shaun’s merciless phrases to coronary heart and attempt to change, and if she does, will it’s too little too late?
In any case, Shaun appeared to be hooking up with that nurse, or not less than telling her that her eyes had been lovely.
I wasn’t proud of that growth. Shaun is already in the course of a love triangle. He does not must get entangled with any extra of his co-workers on high of it.
And severely, if he’s going to maneuver on, can it’s with somebody who does not work on the hospital? There’s greater than sufficient relationship drama with out that.
In addition to, this girl is probably going only a placeholder till both Lea or Carly (or each!) involves their senses and offers Shaun one other attempt.
Way more fascinating was the dynamic between Lim and Andrew.
Hopefully, this relationship stays a piece relationship, in contrast to the remainder of the relationships on The Good Physician.
However their mutual jealousy and admiration of each other, plus principally switching jobs, makes for compelling drama, particularly once they do not see eye to eye on a case.
Extra of this, much less of the cleaning soap opera stuff, please.
