Spoilers ahead: The 100th episode of The Good DoctorThe name of the company is “Hot and Bothered.”
The Good DoctorOfficially hit the It is an impressive milestone to reach 100 episodes?, and “Hot and Bothered” didn’t celebrate that milestone by going easy on the staff at St. Bonaventure. The ER was flooded with elderly patients after a heat wave that lasted well over 100 degrees. ShaunWith PowellAgain, it took a lot improvisation and more luck for everyone to reach a peaceful place where they could enjoy cake until the end. A big revelation was also made in the episode. Morgan and her goals for herself, but didn’t give a clue about whether or not she’d actually pursue it.
Morgan was paired up with Morgan for most of the episode. AsherHe alternated between laughing at her for trying Tinder and making her feel better. It worked enough that she opened up about the goals she’d set for herself in high school – including winning an Olympic medal and touring with NSYNC – that she didn’t mind giving up. It was difficult for her. Give up on her dream to become a surgeon, but she’s resigned to that by this point. Based on what she initially told Asher, it seemed like she hadn’t yet given up on the dream of marriage and children.
At the end, she stated that she had a specific goal. She doesn’t want to fill the “hole”In her relationship with a man, she desires a child. Given that this is Morgan Reznick, it seems likely that she won’t just wait around before chasing after something she wants, and as a doctor, she knows that there are ways to conceive a child without a relationship with a man, and there’s always the adoption option. So, I was a little surprised when the promo for the next episode shows a doctor who isn’t Morgan considering parenthood.
Next episode The Good DoctorIt is also known as “Boys Don’t Cry,”The promo features Shaun and LeaTalk about how to start a family. Have a look at these:
On the one hand, it’s great to see Shaun and Lea excited about trying to have a baby after the Tragic miscarriage back Season 4.They made the hard decision not long after. Continue on their path to parenthood. (You can also revisit the arc streaming with a Hulu subscription.) Now that they’re married and on more solid professional footing, it makes sense that they’d decide to try again, and babies seem to be the theme of the episode with a mother giving birth to sextuplets! On the other hand, why doesn’t Morgan factor into either the promo or episode description, after her desire for a child was arguably the biggest reveal of the 100th episode milestone?
Of course, a 30-second promo isn’t going to give away everything that happens in an episode, so it’s entirely possible that Morgan will have a subplot in “Boys Don’t Cry”About her desire to have a child. It just struck me as odd that the information about the next episode not only didn’t mention Morgan and her reveal, but shifted the focus about having a child over to Shaun and Lea.
