Doctor Odyssey - Shark Attack!
Doctor Odyssey returns from its mid-season break with "Shark Attack!" featuring the cruise ship's first mate (Marcus Emanuel Mitchell) getting attacked by sharks and, while racing to get him to port, rescuing another small group of survivors also the victims of a shark attack. There's plenty of emergency surgery here and out-of-the-box thinking in terms of the limited resources aboard the ship keeping their patients alive. Things only get worse at the end of the episode when the ship is attacked leaving it stranded and surrounded by a group of Orca whales. I would expect more ingenuity from the crew to make it through next week's episode.
The most notable guest-stars of the episode is Adrianne Palicki as Dr. Brooke Lane from the rescued ship and her autistic first mate. Despite being opinionated and confrontational, Lane proves helpful, although her chemistry with Max (Joshua Jackson) creates jealousy with Avery (Phillipa Soo) who is already struggling to deal with her unexpected pregnancy. Meanwhile, Tristan (Sean Teale) is a little too preoccupied by events to get involved spending much of the episode feeling guilty, for taking Spencer surfing leading to the attack, although the episode comes full circle with him helping a patient through her own guilt at her husband loosing a leg and arm to the sharks.
