The two-part season finale of Doctor Odyssey (which may turn out to be the series finale given the show has not yet been renewed) offers enough big event which we’ve seen sprinkled throughout the season. In the “Wave” an earthquake at the latest stop puts causes a tsunami which is bad timing for Max (Joshua Jackson) and a handful of guests, one with an injured knee, who can’t make it back to the ship and must see out higher ground and wait things out. Meanwhile, given the situation, the Odyssey (while taking on lots of locals in need of protection) is forced to return to deeper waters and ordered to leave the area (and their doctor behind).

While Lyco (Lane Factor) is stunned to learn his protector is Asajj Ventress (Nika Futterman), he continues on with her as the former Sith looks up an old acquaintance who might help them find other Jedi. Attempting to trade their skills for the info, the pair agree to help out the bounty hunter Latts Razzi (Clare Grant) and her droid in stealing from the Empire, at least until the heist goes sideways and Lyco learns the former Jedi-killer is far more trusting than a bounty hunter will to do whatever she can to make a buck. While providing a bit of action, the episode’s purpose to provide some trust between the unlikely pair is successfully.

While the show has been renewed for a Second Season, the two-part finale does wrap up several threads from the season and suggest at least one cast member won’t be back at the Holmes Clinic next year. Things start off with Adams (Peter Mark Kendall) being poisoned by Moriarty (Randall Park) using a customized virus which also eventually infects his twin brother Stephens as well. Not realizing how it ties into his plans, Ingrid (Eve Harlow) destroys some genetic samples which could have been used to save the twins, although the good doctor scrapes enough together to save one of them.

The return of the reboot’s first villain, Alexandra Bligh (Lucy Taylor), offers the opportunity for an all-girls episode with the team stretched across the globe. The fact that the team is never stretched this thin, with everyone working separately, is simply a conceit you’ll have to allow in order for events to play out. After kidnapping Sophie (Gina Bellman), Bligh pits nemeses Parker (Beth Riesgraf) and Astrid (Alexandra Park) against each other commanding one to steal a priceless treasure on display and the other to prevent the theft. The costume ball, in honor of the displays of Marie Antoinette, prevents the pair from running into each other for most of the episode until they finally do in the vault leading to the confrontation Bligh has been hoping for.
