The Good Doctor Season 6 Episode 17 Preview

The title for the 17th episode has been revealed as Second Chances and Past Regrets. ABC has also unveiled a promo for the upcoming episode, which teases the return of Dr. Jared Kalu to the program. Shaun and Murphy seem to be in disagreement over how they want to treat a patient having seizures.

While Jared suggests resection to stop the seizures immediately, Shaun dismisses the procedure as risky. The former then confronts the latter saying that he was ‘thinking out of the box.’ Shaun then warns him, “If you can not comply, you will be out of the program.” Watch the preview below.

The Previous Episode Serves as the Pilot for The Good Lawyer Spin-Off

ABC is coming up with a spin-off of The Good Doctor, named The Good Lawyer. The 16th episode served as a backdoor pilot for The Good Lawyer as it introduced Joni, a young lawyer who represented Shaun in a lawsuit.

In the previous episode, Shaun is sued by Bob Patton over the amputation of his hand. Despite being asked by Glassman and Janet to settle, Shaun chooses to go to trial with the help of Joni, a lawyer with OCD.

Joni turns the testimony of Bob’s expert witness in their favor, and Shaun testifies about his decision to amputate and his past, resulting in Shaun’s victory and the lawyer earning Janet’s respect. Joni then reveals her inspiration for becoming a lawyer, and after the trial, Shaun and Joni test Bob’s hand to check if the amputation was necessary or not.
