Lim orders Park to break the bad news on Shaun’s behalf, but when the men enter Beth’s room, Andrews forces Shaun to confront his patient. He asks Shaun if he’s nervous, but the answer is no - that is, until the MRI reveals that Beth has extensive scar tissue and will in fact require a feeding tube. Meanwhile, in the MRI room, Park admits to Shaun that he’s a tad perturbed that Lim took the case from him, but insists that he’s happy for his fellow doctor. She says that Shaun gets to keep this case, regardless of what the former chief thinks. She defends her decision to Andrews, who accuses her of coddling the resident. We find out that it was Park’s chart, but Lim stepped in and handed it to Shaun. Outside the patient’s room, Andrews approaches Lim, who has handpicked the world’s most genial patient for Shaun. What’s more, she won’t need a feeding tube. It’s a serious condition, but a esophageal resection should render her cancer-free. Murphy rushes off to work, as giddy as we’ve ever seen him.Īt the hospital, Shaun, Andrews and Park go to visit the surgical candidate: a budding chef named Beth who has been diagnosed with esophageal cancer. Lea asks Shaun if he’s explained this to Carly, but before he can answer, he receives a very exciting text: He is set to lead his first surgery! Shaun and Lea jump up and down to celebrate, then Dr. The following morning, Shaun talks the situation over with Lea he tells his roommate that he prefers to touch only one thing at a time. He then backs away and says it’s better if they stick to the agreed-upon schedule. He pauses the film, and Carly puts her hand on his face, then his chest. Shaun insists that they’d never finish the movie, but she kisses him again. “Naughty thought: How about we don’t wait 12 minutes for our next kiss?” Carly suggests. Carly and Shaun share a kiss, then an alarm goes off that alerts them to stop the kiss and resume their movie. We begin “First Case, Second Base” at Carly’s apartment. Meanwhile, outside the operating room, Carly and Shaun work through an intimacy issue. This week on The Good Doctor, Shaun is assigned his first surgery, but not everyone thinks that he’s ready.
