It’s Wellness Week on Physician Odyssey—however don’t let the theme idiot you. Not a lot goes nicely for both the crew OR the passengers aboard the Odyssey in Episode 4.
After final episode’s cosmetic surgery disasters, we discover the Odyssey ship crusing straight right into a hurricane. As if issues couldn’t get any worse, after Avery (Phillipa Soo) learns she earned a scholarship for medical college, she faces her personal medical emergency: a case of appendicitis. Fortunately, Tristan (Sean Teale) and Dr. Max (Joshua Jackson) come to her rescue.
Avery isn’t the one passenger who falls in poor health this episode. Amy Sedaris visitor stars as wellness influencer Bethany Welles, who doesn’t appear to be a fan of Max’s “crimson aura.” Bethany comes down with copper poisoning, attributable to her very personal well being concoction.
Pressure escalates upon the arrival of Bethany’s private chef Vivian (Laura Harrier), who isn’t as a lot of a chef as she proclaims to be. In efforts to cut back any uncooked meals being served, Max enlists Tristan to supervise the kitchen preparation. Tristan strikes up an unlikely romance with Vivian—the duo can’t appear to get their palms, or lips, off one another. Avery is questionably jealous of the budding couple. The love triangle (quadrangle, should you’re counting Max) will proceed, as Vivian is changing into a everlasting member of the ship’s kitchen employees.
Regardless of the tough climate, thankfully issues didn’t go FULL Titanic for the Odyssey.
Different visitor stars on this episode embrace Margaret Cho and Kate Berlant, who play wellness-obsessed cruise company Judy and Agnes. Mockingly, they discover themselves in a well being disaster of their very own when their “Diva Mud smoothies” trigger kidney failure. (No, a mysterious smoothie concoction can’t treatment dyslexia or hiccups.) All isn’t nicely on the ship—particularly as Agnes “by accident” pierces Judy’s lung in an acupuncture session.
The drama will proceed in subsequent week’s Halloween-themed episode, which welcomes zombie sicknesses (and even perhaps stay zombies) aboard the Odyssey.
