The stethoscopes are out and the knives are sharpened, mostly for each other’s backs. This week’s episode of Doc, titled "Trust," was a masterclass in irony because, frankly, nobody in this hospital should be trusted with a houseplant, let alone a medical secret. Between explosive marital confrontations and the return of the hospital’s most punchable face, things at Westside Medical are officially reaching a fever pitch.
The Confrontation We Deserved
We finally got the showdown we’ve been waiting for between Michael and Amy. After Katie suffered another harrowing panic attack, the gloves came off. Amy confronted Michael about the cheating and while we were ready to grab the popcorn, Michael decided to bring the receipts. He pointed out that Amy hadn’t touched him in two years and only seemed to regain interest days before moving on.
Michael claims he didn't get with Nora until a year later, which seemed to calm Amy down a bit. The real MVP of this scene, however, was Amy telling Katie to let the guilt go. It turns out Katie’s panic attacks are fueled by the mistaken belief that she caused the divorce. Amy’s reassurance was a rare moment of maternal clarity in an otherwise chaotic hour.
Brian Tee: From Dr. Choi to Patient X
Over on the medical side, we got a treat for Chicago Med fans. Brian Tee graced our screens again, but in a delicious twist of fate, he wasn't the one holding the scalpel. Playing a high-stakes poker player whose medical issues were causing him to lose his "tell," Tee was magnetic. There’s something deeply satisfying about seeing a man who played a doctor for years having to submit to the patient experience. It’s full-circle TV at its finest.
Livers, Liquor and Lies
The "Case of the Week" was a genuine tear-jerker. Amy dealt with Diane (a grandmother) and Lily (her granddaughter). Diane desperately needed a liver transplant and Lily was a perfect match. The catch? Diane refused the donation because she was harboring a dark, booze-soaked secret: she was an alcoholic and her own drinking led to the car crash that killed Lily’s mother.
When Diane finally confessed, Lily walked out and Diane did what she knew best, she ordered a delivery of liquor to her hospital room. Amy’s subsequent blow-up at Diane, right as she coded, this was peak medical drama. Thankfully, Amy pulled a "medical MacGyver" move and organized a domino surgery transplant, allowing Diane to get a liver without taking one from Lily. It was a neat, if slightly convenient, resolution to a messy family trauma.
The Return of the Villain: Richard Miller
Just when you thought the hospital couldn’t get more toxic, Richard Miller slithered back into the building. He wants his job back and the board, in their infinite wisdom is considering it. Michael’s solution? Pay Richard’s salary for two years just to get him a job elsewhere so the hospital doesn't have to deal with him. It’s expensive hush money but considering Richard’s track record, it might be worth every penny. Unfortunately for Amy, she finds out he starts tomorrow. Goodbye, sleep.
Sleuthing and Subtext
Finally, let’s talk about Sonya and TJ. These two are playing detective to figure out Joan Ridley’s mysterious illness and the chemistry is palpable. While TJ distracted Ridley, Sonya found the syringes in her office, confirming she has an autoimmune disease. If these two don't stop flirting and start dating, I’m filing a formal complaint with the network.
The TV Cave Verdict: Episode 15 delivered the emotional payoffs we’ve been craving while setting up a massive collision course for the season finale. Between the return of Richard and the shaky truce between Amy and Michael, the "trust" in Westside Medical is at an all-time low and we wouldn't have it any other way.
