And we've reached the end of the season of The Good Doctor, and the most interesting part of this year's final moments is the evolution of Shaun and Glassman's relationship. The way this issue of their paternal vision is constructed is sensational, given everything they've been through together. In addition, we also have Morgan exploring this issue of motherhood, and she handled it very well.
In these two episodes, the main focus is on Glassman being upset with how Shaun handled his health information and overriding him to go to Lim. The whole debate about his stroke and how it would affect his career was exposed in a suffocating way, as Shaun is constantly on his back, until he gives in and understands that he can no longer perform surgeries, but he feels humiliated.
When he and Lim are in a very difficult surgery and he finds himself cornered by Shaun's excesses, but understands that he does it for his own good. The biggest issue that is exposed is how to deal with this without hurting each other, and Glassman ends up deciding to distance herself, not even being present at the birth of their baby. Shaun is always lost, and ends up putting Lea and her baby ahead of everything.
The choice for Eden and how Morgan works on her maternal side is very beautiful, and I like that they show the fulfillment of being with the baby, even the desperation of balancing their professional and personal lives. The reconciliation with Park is very cool to see and now we will see how they will work on this relationship next year.
Jordan also suffered a lot with Danny... The boy had a car accident and had multiple bills, but because of his drug addiction, he ends up asking her not to inject anything of his to control the pain, but she sees that he could suffer serious consequences, goes against the decision, and this separates them definitively. Danny's decision is to go stay with his family in another state, so that he can have their help with his addiction, especially from this point on.
Another interesting development is Andrew and Villanueva, who strengthen their relationship. He still tries to act in a way that focuses on the company and not on his partner's confidentiality, and ends up almost losing her again. However, when he decides to be by her side, he ends up creating problems with management, and when confronted about a conflict of interest, he ends up resigning.
The Good Doctor has worked very well with the dramas of its year. So far, it has shown a lot of Asher and Jerome's relationship, with moments in which the doctor needed to learn about relationships and how he deals with things, as well as the return of Kalu, who brings good rapport to Shaun and he himself has to learn to deal with his dramas. I just hope they show something good in the next season.
Lim has also evolved a lot. He suffered with the accident, Shaun's decisions, his relationship and then walking again, which brought great drama, and little time to assimilate, but which was handled well throughout the season.
