The hospital struggles against the COVID-19 pandemic and forces changes on the way everyone lives: Shaun and Lea are obliged to remain apart, Park is staying with Shaun, Glassman works from home, and Andrews sleeps in his garage to protect his wife. The situation takes its toll on everyone: Shaun struggles with being so far from Lea, Glassman becomes overprotective of Debbie to the point of annoyance, and Lim and Claire become short-tempered. The episode primarily focuses on three COVID patients: a woman who doesn't survive whose daughter Claire empathizes with, a man who is in constant video contact with his wife and is put on a ventilator by Shaun and Andrews, and finally a pregnant woman with whom Park bonds and who he takes care of personally. Morgan treats a man with symptoms of diverticulitis, but later discovers that he has COVID and both she and nurse Deena Petringa have been exposed. While looking at the personal belongings of the hospital's COVID patients, Claire hallucinates Melendez. The episode is prefaced with a title card stating that the events are a fictional story about a real battle still being fought. The title card tells the audience to honor the frontline heroes of the fight, many of whom have given their lives, and ends with the direction to "Do your part. Wear a mask." | |||||||

Now working as an internist and recovered from her own bout with COVID, Morgan treats Nurse Deena Petringa whose condition continually worsens; the two women bond, with Deena offering Morgan advice based on her forty years of nursing experience. Deena ultimately dies of the virus, but Shaun's, Andrews', and Park's patients survive with one released three weeks later. Glassman opens up to and reconciles with Debbie while Shaun allows Lea to spend time with him in person again, Andrews decides to be with his wife instead of continuing to sleep in the garage, and Park decides to end his romantic relationship with Mia and continue co-parenting Kellan together instead.

The following episode portrays our hope for the future, a future where no-one will have to wear masks or take other steps to stay safe from COVID. Until then, please protect yourself and others."[3] | |||||||

Production
[edit]In May 2014, CBS Television Studios began development on an American remake of the hit South Korean medical drama Good Doctor with Daniel Dae Kim as producer. Kim explained the appeal of adapting the series as "something that can fit into a recognizable world with a breadth of characters that can be explored in the long run".[22] The story of an autistic pediatric surgeon was to be set in Boston, and projected to air in August 2015,[23][24] but CBS did not pick up the project, and it moved to Sony Pictures Television with a put pilot commitment from ABC in October 2016. The series was developed by David Shore who is credited as executive producer alongside Kim, Sebastian Lee and David Kim.[25] ABC officially ordered the series to pilot in January 2017.[26]
On May 11, 2017, ABC ordered to series as a co-production with Sony Pictures Television and ABC Studios,[27] and it was officially picked up for a season of 18 episodes on October 3, 2017.[28]
