Doctor Odyssey

• Title: Doctor Odyssey – The Wave Part 1 & Part 2
• IMDb: link | link

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).

• Title: Doctor Odyssey – Spring Break
• IMDb: link

The medical emergencies are mostly minor early on during Spring Break Week as Max (Joshua Jackson) spends most of his time deflecting the attention of three persistent young women (Paris Jackson, Ava Phillippe, and Charlotte Lawrence), although that eventually takes a dark turn with some spiked drugs and a case of scuba diving gone wrong, helping a young man with an embarrassing PGAD condition, and Avery (Phillipa Soo) taking interest in an overly-studious passenger (Kathryn Newton) whose mostly minor symptoms become hard to diagnosis.

• Title: Doctor Odyssey – Casino Week
• IMDb: link

Angela Bassett guest-stars as a cop who gets stuck aboard the Odyssey while looking for thieves who plan to rob the ship during Casino Week. Although one thief is caught while attempting to board, his two accomplices are still on the ship allowing the episode to offer up an eclectic list of red herrings including a pair of card sharks (Robbie Silverman and Angela Zhou) working the tables and a young woman named Daphne (Jade Pettyjohn) in desperate need of a heart transplant choosing to make the best of what little time she has left. The medical escapades are mostly minor, such as keeping Daphne in comfort as much as possible while Max (Joshua Jackson) helps Grant (Bassett) search for the robbers. And, in terms of ongoing storylines, Avery (Phillipa Soo) makes the first big decision regarding her future.

• Title: Doctor Odyssey – Shark Attack! Part 2: Orca!
• IMDb: link

The second-half of the mid-season premiere deals with the swarm of Orca around the Odyssey, the techs working on restoring the ship’s power, and our medics striving to keep their patients alive on dwindling medical resources and attempting a life-saving surgery in the dark. Amongst the chaos, events seem to push Avery (Phillipa Soo) and Tristan (Sean Teale) together, although Avery’s decisions about her pregnancy remain undecided. As for Brooke (Adrianne Palicki) and Billy (Kurt Yaeger), the show teases the possibility of their return to the show at some point in the future with Captain Massey (Don Johnson) impressed with the young man’s quick thinking under pressure and the chemistry between Max (Joshua Jackson) and Brooke acknowledged but still not yet acted upon.

• Title: Doctor Odyssey – Shark Attack!
• IMDb: link

Doctor Odyssey returns from its mid-season break with “Shark Attack!” featuring the cruise ship’s first mate (Marcus Emanuel Mitchell) getting attacked by sharks and, while racing to get him to port, rescuing another small group of survivors also the victims of a shark attack. There’s plenty of emergency surgery here and out-of-the-box thinking in terms of the limited resources aboard the ship keeping their patients alive. Things only get worse at the end of the episode when the ship is attacked leaving it stranded and surrounded by a group of Orca whales. I would expect more ingenuity from the crew to make it through next week’s episode.
