The Good Doctor season 6 episode 1 will kick-start in the aftermath of Shaun and Lea's wedding
Season 6 of The Good Doctor is set to release on Monday, October 3, 2022. The upcoming season will begin in the immediate aftermath of events at Shaun and Lea's wedding, which marked the conclusion of season 5.
Episode 1 of season 6 is titled Afterparty, whose synopsis, according to Showbiz Junkies, reads:
"Shaun and Lea’s long-awaited wedding reception was interrupted by a violent attack at the hospital and the entire team must mobilize to save the victims. Meanwhile, the trauma of seeing people he cares for in life-threatening situations is affecting Shaun in more ways than one."
While the fifth season ended with the wedding of Shaun and Lea, on one hand, the team at San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital was thrown into an emergency situation. Nurse Villanueva's (Elfina Luk) violent ex-boyfriend Owen snuck into the hospital pretending to deliver flowers for the wedding and attacked both Villanueva and Dr. Audrey Lim.
Lim found Villanueva bleeding in the breakroom after she went to get extra glasses for the champagne. Owen came from behind all of a sudden and stabbed Dr. Lim.
In the promo for the upcoming season, Dr. Lim is shown to have contacted Dr. Marcus Andrews, whose call got disconnected and Lim fell unconscious. The clip also disclosed a panicking Dr. Shaun and team that got to know of the attack.
According to co-showrunner Liz Friedman, Lim will return to work but with a disability after the attack.
An additional storyline from the show is about the relationship between Dr. Asher and his father. Shaun and his mentor Aaron Glassman are likely to have a fallout, which will take some time to resolve, as Shaun and Lea will traverse through married life.
