SPOILER ALERT! This post contains details from the midseason finale of ABC ‘s Doctor Odyssey . There may be some rocky seas ahead for the crew on The Odyssey. On Thursday night’s midseason finale of Doctor Odyssey , the Quackers descended on the luxury cruise liner for a week of rubber duck hunting.
That, eventually, leads to quite a case for Dr. Bankman ( Joshua Jackson ) and his crew when they discover that one of the Quacker leaders — we know, we know — has pica, a mental health condition that prompts him to swallow non-food items. What initially begins as a somewhat simple extraction of a few loose objects quickly turns into a full-on middle-of-the-night necrotic bowel resection when it becomes clear that this has been an ongoing issue.
“Well, I don’t think we’re making a documentary, right?” Jackson joked of the risky procedure being performed in the seemingly ill-equipped infirmary on a cruise ship. It’s the least of their worries, anyways, since Max, Avery ( Phillipa Soo ) and Tristan (Sean Teale) are still trying to figure out a new groove after their threesome. They’d decided to put it behind them and get back to work, but that’s about to get way more complicated, because Avery finds out she’s pregnant and, while she knows one of her two colleagues is the father, she is not sure which.
Will she keep the baby? Who is the father? How will this impact her medical school endeavors? And, you know, how will the three of them continue to work togethe.
