‘The Good Doctor’ Season 4 Preview
When we last saw the doctors and nurses of San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital, Dr. Alex Park (Will Yun Lee) decided to move back to Phoenix to be closer to his family. Dr. Audrey Lim (Christina Chang) and Dr. Claire Brown (Antonia Thomas) realized they couldn’t help Dr. Neil Melendez (Nicholas Gonzalez) who was hurt during the aftershocks of the earthquake. Melendez and Lim made peace with each other and then Brown and Melendez said “I love you” before he died. And Dr. Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore) had to amputate a woman’s leg to save them both from drowning, which caused Lea DiIallo (Paige Spara) to realize how much she loves Shaun after nearly losing him.
When the season returns, Shaun and the team “struggle to understand an illness that is unlike anything they’ve ever seen before,” according to the press release from ABC.
The season four premiere of the show is titled “Frontline Part 1,” and it will directly address the global COVID-19 pandemic.
The description reads, “Dr. Shaun Murphy treats a patient with an illness that is not only unpredictable in nature, but also unlike anything he or the team at San Jose St. Bonaventure has ever seen before. As safety protocols and quarantines increase due to the global pandemic, Lea and Shaun’s new relationship will become tested; and Dr. Alex Park gets ready to move back to Phoenix, Arizona, to be closer to his family. Meanwhile, Dr. Morgan Reznick navigates her way around the clinic following her departure from the surgery team and unknowingly puts herself and several members of the staff in danger. Finally, Dr. Claire Brown continues to work through her grief, still reeling from the sudden death of Dr. Neil Melendez.”
The premiere will conclude with “Frontline Part II” next week on November 9, which promises, “Dr. Shaun Murphy and Dr. Marcus Andrews determine that their patient has been infected with COVID-19. As they struggle to understand and get ahead of a constantly evolving virus, Shaun has a hard time balancing his fears and concerns about potentially jeopardizing Lea’s health and wanting to be with the woman he loves. Meanwhile, Claire looks for a way to grieve Melendez’s death through her patients. In the COVID-19 ward, Dr. Morgan Reznick softens a little while tending to Nurse Petringa (Karin Konoval), who imparts a bit of wisdom from her 40+ year nursing career. Elsewhere, Dr. Alex Park and Mia (Jennifer Birmingham Lee) discuss their future together.
The Good Doctor airs Mondays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
