Spoiler alert! This story discusses Doctor Odyssey’s Might 8 episode, “The Wave,” which may be streamed with a Hulu subscription if you might want to catch up.
The season finale of Doctor Odyssey is lower than every week away on the 2025 TV schedule, after a debut that has put the fictional cruise ship within the path of sharks, tsunamis and sexy spring breakers. Nonetheless, there’s been no official phrase from ABC on whether or not or not the Ryan Murphy sequence will sail once more. After the season’s penultimate episode, I’m beginning to surprise if we needs to be involved in regards to the destiny of Dr. Max Bankman.
Why I’m Anxious Doctor Odyssey May Kill Off Max
Doctor Odyssey left Max (Joshua Jackson) in a fairly dire state of affairs on the finish of “The Wave” — stranded on shore serving to others whereas The Odyssey sought deeper water to flee tsunami waves. Capt. Massey (Don Johnson) selected to interrupt protocol to return for the ship’s physician, at the same time as aftershocks continued to pose a risk, and the rescue will proceed within the second half of the two-part finale. The trailer offers us a style of what’s to return:
Regardless of Avery (Phillipa Soo) insisting she’s not in love with Max, she appears to be main the efforts to search out him, and the tip of the preview exhibits her looking the church the place we final noticed him earlier than yelling, “Max?”
My first thought upon seeing this was, “Do they actually anticipate us to consider they’d kill Max?” However then virtually simply as shortly I questioned if that’s precisely what’s going to occur. Give it some thought: Ryan Murphy simply proved to us he’s not afraid to unalive his fundamental characters, with that surprising 9-1-1 loss of life. Then there’s the matter of Doctor Odyssey not being renewed or canceled by ABC but.
What if that is all a part of a much bigger plan?
What’s Been Stated About Doctor Odyssey Season 2?
Doctor Odyssey stays considered one of ABC’s solely exhibits in purgatory, as even more renewals got here down the pipe on Friday. Community exec Craig Erwich beforehand mentioned they have been taking their lead from Ryan Murphy and persevering with inventive conversations.
Nonetheless, what if the choice has already been made? What if the plan is to kill Joshua Jackson’s character and finish the present, however they’re not telling us that but as a result of they don’t wish to spoil the finale?
I perceive that I’m spiraling a bit, however this principle isn’t extra far-fetched than the entire fever dream theory that implies none of that is actual and that Max — aka COVID’s Affected person 0 — by no means recovered from coronavirus and is caught in a coma.
That may be fairly thrilling as effectively, however I really feel like we’re residing in a TV age the place no person’s protected, and that appears very true for a sequence whose destiny hasn’t but been introduced.
Will Max and the remaining survive “The Wave, Half 2”? Is ABC ready for the season finale to tell us their choice on Season 2? Will we ever get that musical episode? Fortunately, we now have lower than every week earlier than we discover out. Doctor Odyssey’s season finale (sequence finale??) will air at 9 p.m. ET Thursday, Might 15, on ABC and may be streamed the following day on Hulu.
