I’m not going to lie. Going into Physician Odyssey Season 1, Episode 3, ‘Plastic Surgical procedure Week,’ I felt rather a lot like Avery. I checked out each one who set foot on The Odyssey wrapped in bandages and thought, what’s incorrect with these individuals, and why ought to I care about them convalescing on a cruise ship after they selected to change their our bodies in ways in which have been by no means supposed? However, by the top of it, I felt a profound disappointment for the company. This can be some of the emotional episodes of Physician Odyssey I’ve watched to this point.
Lenore Laurent (visitor star Gina Gershon), the spouse of Maury, who owns The Odyssey, arrives on board with all of her mates in toe. However these mates are a bit completely different. Everybody on board has had some beauty surgical procedure completed, and they’re on The Odyssey to heal in peace away from the eyes of everybody on land. I’m undecided that getting surgical procedure after which hopping on a luxurious liner that takes you out into the center of the ocean, primarily away from society, is such a good suggestion, however right here we’re.
For Avery, cosmetic surgery week goes in opposition to every part she stands for. She believes that the entire individuals on board want psychological well being assist and never beauty surgical procedure. She has zero qualms about hiding her emotions in any respect. When it’s time for supper with the captain, which consists of the company being requested if they are going to be having “solids or liquids,” she refuses to decorate up, after which after she expresses her displeasure when Lenore’s private shopper, Vanna will get a nasty case of twond and threerd diploma burns on her breasts from frostbite, that’s the final straw, and she or he will get fired.
Avery isn’t the one one coping with their feelings this week. Tristan will get a shock go to from his mom, Caroline (visitor star Constance Marie). She’s undergone a couple of procedures, and Tristan is taking care of her. Their relationship is a rocky one. Avery talked about that he had “mommy points,” which have been on full show. However, we really feel for him. Tristan is looking for love and validation from his mom. He needs her to be there for him. Whereas on The Odyssey, Caroline has a medical scare of her personal, and Tristan learns she has Huntington’s illness and is dying. Apparently, this didn’t convey them nearer collectively, however, in some methods, it’s good as a result of it then didn’t turn out to be a cliché of “the dying relative makes amends as a result of they’re dying.”
“You see the individuals in individuals.”
Max, however, is in fanboy heaven in Physician Odyssey Season 1, Episode 3 ‘Plastic Surgical procedure Week’ when he learns that the “Human Ken” (visitor star Justin Jedlica) is on board. That is stunning to Avery and Tristan as a result of Max is admittedly having a second. He is aware of every part about “Human Ken” and is a fan of his actuality collection. The 2 get to spend a while collectively in cryotherapy and in between Max dealing with Vanna’s frostbite and a girl’s nostril actually falling off, he’s capable of have a bonding expertise with him whereas checking his surgical websites for sepsis. Ken is moved by Max’s kindness and his willingness to assist the entire sufferers on board with out judgment. The scene then switches to a montage of Ken doing all of his nightly prep work to the tune of “Three” by Sleeping at Final. As I watched it happen all I assumed was “That’s a lot work to keep up” and I used to be attempting to determine if the viewers was presupposed to really feel disappointment. I received my reply instantly when the housekeepers discovered him unresponsive in his lodge room the next morning.
“We’ve constructed a paradise right here however always remember that’s all it’s. Building. An phantasm. The world remains to be the world and all we are able to do is sail on.”
Max, Avery, and Tristan spring into motion nevertheless it’s too late and they don’t seem to be capable of save Ken. Max is unquestionably affected by this loss, at the same time as he’s delivering chest compressions and attempting to get the crew to intubate, he’s being hit with flashbacks of his time within the isolation ward when he was battling COVID. The state of affairs doesn’t get any higher when he learns what steps need to be taken to hide Ken from the opposite passengers. The entire course of is macabre and Captain Massey is absolutely conscious of this. However, he has to maintain the phantasm going. Watching Max, Avery, and Tristan cart Ken’s physique all the way down to the “morgue” in a laundry cart as they handed visitor after visitor laughing and having the time of their lives, I felt their disappointment. Working within the medical discipline myself, I do know what it seems like once you lose sufferers and have to hold on as if every part is ok and regular. Solely Max, Avery, and Tristan know what they’ve simply gone by means of collectively.
The lack of Ken is nice for Max and Avery checks in as a result of she noticed how exhausting it hit him. She will get a greater understanding of why Max was so affected by Ken’s dying when he tells her that watching his present is what received him by means of COVID. When he was on their lonesome, Ken, Barbie, and their mates turned his mates. Ken’s present helped him. It helped him determine who he was, what he wished, and the way he wished to be remembered. Max sharing his story with Avery solely will increase their bond and based mostly on their raveled state as they ran out to assist Tristan with a medical emergency, they’ve taken their relationship a step additional.
Regardless of what Tristan has interrupted, he’s the image of professionalism as he, Avery, and Max work collectively to avoid wasting Vanna with an emergent precision debridement after she developed necrotizing fasciitis in her breast implants. Avery leads the cost on this process and Lenore witnesses all the factor. She’s so impressed by Avery taking the initiative that not solely does she give her job again, however she additionally tells her she’ll present her a advice for her scholarship for medical faculty.
In the event you’re questioning whether or not that truce Tristan and Max referred to as in Physician Odyssey episode 2, remains to be in place, don’t have any worry, the bromance stays intact. Not less than for now. When Max advised Tristan to let him have it over what he noticed between him and Avery, he brushed it off as nothing greater than infatuation and never love. However the way in which he says it comes off like he’s saying what he thinks Max needs to listen to. Given the truth that Avery didn’t appear within the slightest bit affected or involved in regards to the kiss she and Tristan shared, his response although unhappy, made sense. I wouldn’t need to pour my coronary heart out about my emotions for somebody figuring out they’ve emotions for one more individual. HARD NO. Do we expect that that is over and Tristan is simply going to throw up a white flag and transfer on that simply? Completely not.
