Doc was Fox’s surprise hit of last season. Therefore, we have been waiting to find out what happens next for Dr. Amy Larsen, who lost eight years of her memory after suffering a head injury during a car crash.
This season, Amy will continue to confront hard truths about her missing years, work to repair fractured relationships, and seek to reconcile the person she used to be with the one everyone else has come to know. Determined to get her memory back and piece together who she really is, Amy’s goal is to become the doctor she used to be in those missing years and to eventually, once again, be Chief of Internal Medicine.
In the interim, her ex-husband/Westside Hospital’s Chief Medical Officer, DR. MICHAEL HAMDA (Omar Metwally), fills the position with Amy’s former mentor and friend, DR. JOAN RIDLEY (Felicity Huffman), whose motives and priorities remain hidden, just as long as Amy still can’t recall Joan’s life-changing secret. Amy’s best friend and colleague, DR. GINA WALKER (Amirah Vann), is weary of Joan’s motives and continues to be a beacon of support for those around her, while finally learning to put on her own oxygen mask first.
While re-learning eight years of medical advancements is complicated, it pales in comparison to learning to navigate her new/old/current romantic entanglements. Amy continues to fight her feelings and let Michael go, especially now with the birth of his son with his new wife, bringing up emotions for both Amy and their daughter, KATIE HAMDA (Charlotte Fountain-Jardim).
Amy’s on-again, off-again relationship with Chief Resident DR. JAKE HELLER (Jon Ecker) is a bit more delicate as he struggles to protect his heart from her this time around. However, DR. SONYA MAITRA (Anya Banerjee) would only be too glad to pick up the pieces, navigating the balance between her feelings for Jake and her complicated resentment towards Amy.
I have to admit, I have resentment towards the producers for casting Huffman. I am still not over the college admissions scandal. Just seeing her in the trailer makes me not want to watch. Do you feel like I do?
