The Good Doctor season 4 episode 6 is going to be the winter premiere of the medical drama, with the title "Lim." This is a reference to Christina Chang's character, Audrey Lim, who will be at the front and center of the episode. Here is what fans can anticipate when the ABC series returns.
In The Good Doctor season 4 episode 6, the healthcare workers at the San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital are still feeling the impact of the COVID-19. All of them have been dealing with it through the early part of the latest installment and it'll continue moving forward.
The health crisis has affected how the situation runs at the hospital, leading to physical and emotional strain on most of the characters. What's also concerning is that their decisions when it comes to taking other patients with certain conditions are being impacted.
Dr. Audrey Lim, in particular, will be the major focus here. Based on the synopsis of The Good Doctor season 4 episode 6, the Chief of Surgery is struggling to cope with the residual emotional trauma brought by the COVID-19 outbreak. However, she needs to move forward and continue doing her job.
While dealing with the impact of the pandemic, Audrey encounters a young veteran who's battling debilitating PTSD. This prompted her to discuss his condition with other doctors, with Claire Brown (Antonia Thomas) suggesting a radical treatment may help him.
It's yet to be seen how this storyline will progress, but there could be several challenges along the way. Since the effect of the health crisis is still being felt, some of them may have a hard time focusing on other things -- particularly Audrey.
As for what else is coming in The Good Doctor season 4 episode 6, Dr. Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore) will have his own storyline, as well. Until now, he's still dealing with the recent loss of his mentee's patient. This leads him in making a decision that could possibly shock everyone.
Due to the recent events, Shaun announced that he does not want to teach the new residents anymore. Yet, he might change his mind later on. Even though he's having problems being a leader, he recognized that this is the best for him in the long run.
Amidst all the struggles, the winter premiere will bring a lighthearted storyline. An eccentric patient at the hospital will try to keep the team entertained. This is something that most of them need at the moment, especially with what's going on around them.
The Good Doctor season 4 episode 6 airs on Monday, January 11, 2021, on ABC.
