The Good Doctor’s penultimate hour pulls the ultimate bait and switch. Or, at least it seems like the ultimate bait and switch until the episode draws to a distressing close.
Claire is a sight for sore eyes when she arrives at Shaun’s doorstep. Seriously, Antonia Thomas has been sincerely missed since she left the show. But not a minute into holding Baby Steve, Shaun reveals the reason why Dr. Browne has returned from Guatemala: She has a lump in her breast, which is first thought to be benign, but is later found to be cancer.After back-to-back surgeries, Claire is given good news: The tumor has been removed, and she’ll only require hormone therapy. What’s more, she’s rekindled her Season 1 romance with Dr. Jared Kalu. But following Morgan and Park’s impromptu wedding, Claire runs a fever and passes out. Jared picks her up, gets her in an Uber, and tells the driver to get to St. Bonaventure as quickly as possible. There’s something seriously wrong with Dr. Browne.
