This is a plan to lure the Doctor into a trap so she can get her 'friend back.' The overarching story elements revolve around characters who have died in the episode being greeted to 'Heaven,' by Missy, where the heaven is revealed to be a data cloud to store the minds of the deceased, as Missy upgrades the bodies into Cybermen before manipulating the minds to delete their emotions and put them into their old cyber-upgraded bodies as an army.
This series also saw the return of the Master, now in a female incarnation known as Missy, played by Michelle Gomez, which was the first time a Time Lord had been portrayed in two distinct genders. Kate Stewart, Osgood and UNIT also appeared. The Paternoster Gang returned, each using a sonic device designed in a Blue Peter competition in the series. Although initially reported by media as being a new companion for the Doctor, in fact the character never actually took on an official companion role during the course of the season.

Kalu was back in scrubs by the end of the hour. The hospital caved, and Andrews’ hand was forced. When Jessica came back with a cash settlement offer, he told his attorney to up the ante and threaten to go public with a discrimination case. * Kalu lawyered up and sued the hospital for wrongful termination.
Unfortunately, a heart didn’t come through in time, and Jenny died. To buy Jenny some time, the doctors re-conjoined the sisters via the thigh and added Jenny’s name to the transplant list. The plan was to take Katie off life support and give her heart to Jenny, but in a sudden twist of fate, Katie stabilized. * Jenny, still in need of a new heart, woke up in recovery, while twin sister Katie remained in a coma with little to no brain activity. He returned to his apartment, took the baseball out of its case, and placed it next to his most cherished possession of all: a framed photo with his deceased brother Steve. Lea also gifted Shaun with a baseball signed by San Francisco Giants right fielder Hunter Pence, an item he first took a liking to while helping her pack. In their final exchange, she wrapped her arms around him, looked directly into his eyes and said, “Are you a good doctor? Because when I think of you, I think you are.” And as the two shared one last kiss, and most of America “aww”-ed, this recapper struggled to get past the fact that a character had just mentioned the show by name, cheapening an otherwise perfect moment. (What, you didn’t expect the Good Doctor to leave, did you?)Īfterward, Shaun headed home to say goodbye to Lea. He ultimately made the decision to stay, returning the recommendation letter to Glassman at the end of his shift. Claire also spoke to her fellow resident about his potential departure, saying how much she’d miss him if he left. He then promised to give Shaun some much-needed space if he’d reconsider leaving. He hand-delivered the letter to Shaun, telling the medical marvel that he believed in him and wanted him to stay. Glassman signed off on the recommendation, albeit reluctantly. This was influenced by his desire to stay close to Lea, who last week revealed that she was moving to Hershey, Pa. He no sooner asked Melendez for a letter of recommendation to transfer his residency to Penn State Medical Center. That was the question for much of Monday’s episode, which began with Shaun giving Glassman his two weeks notice.
