This week’s “Doctor Odyssey” finds the titular medical ship facing a real-world disaster, raising the stakes both on and off the operating table. In “The Wave,” airing Thursday, a personal conflict between Max and Avery sends Max ashore just as a major earthquake rocks the region, triggering a tsunami warning.
Suddenly, Max’s disagreement with Avery seems insignificant. He now faces a different kind of emergency: getting back to The Odyssey before the looming tsunami hits and the ship is forced to evacuate the port.
The episode looks set to explore the wider impact of the earthquake and the tsunami threat, forcing the crew of The Odyssey to make some tough choices. Meanwhile, Max’s declaration creates a rift between him and Avery, testing the strength of their relationship. The aftershocks of the earthquake present new medical challenges as well.
Will Max make it back to the ship in time? Can he and Avery reconcile before disaster strikes? Tune in to ABC this Thursday at 9:00 PM ET to find out.
