Doc had viewers on the edge of their seats after season 1 ended with a surprise exit and a love triangle shakeup — but where did each character end up?
Inspired by a true story, Fox’s Doc follows the chief of internal medicine at Minneapolis’ fictional Westside Hospital, who suffers a traumatic brain injury in a car accident that causes her to lose her memory of the last eight years. Amy (Molly Parker) not only has to remember her medical career and build a new life, she also comes to terms with a shocking divorce from her husband and a death that changes the course of her future.
In addition to Larson, the show stars Omar Metwally, Jon Ecker, Amirah Vann, Anya Banerjee, Patrick Walker, Scott Wolf and Charlotte Fountain-Jardim.
Season 1, which aired in March, ended with Jake (Ecker) seeing Amy (Parker) and Michael (Metwally) sharing an intimate moment. After the show was renewed, Metwally and Ecker teased what viewers can expect as the love triangle gets more complicated.
“I have to clarify that we don’t actually see what is transpiring between Amy and Michael in that office,” Metwally, 51, exclusively told Us Weekly while acknowledging that Amy and Michael seemed to lean in. “They are in an intimate situation but it’s not really clear what Jake is seeing.”
Ecker, 42, joined in by suggesting that perhaps Amy “was taking off” an eyelash from Michael’s cheek, adding, “We don’t really know. There was a lot of talk and rewrites on that last episode — not necessarily about what the situation was — but what the audience sees. Do we end with Jake looking in or do we see what Jake sees? They even shot it a couple ways. They weren’t quite sure how we were going to end it.”
According to Metwally, it remains to be seen whether Jake caught Amy and Michael in a compromising position or not. “I think there’s still some mystery there for all of us about what exactly is happening in that moment and what is Jake seeing or not seeing?” he added. “That’s going to be clarified in season 2.”
Doc also showed Richard (Wolf) being forced to admit that he gave a patient the wrong medication, which caused their death. Richard was terminated from Westside Hospital and his position as Chief of Internal Medicine was up for grabs.
“It felt inevitable to some degree,” Wolf, 57, exclusively told Us at the time. “I didn’t know in the beginning exactly how things would play out but it feels like a tragic story from the start. And tragic stories tend to end tragically.”
Wolf appreciated how Doc made Richard address the mistake he made, adding, “What I love about the show is that every character has their day in court no matter what they’ve done. So by the end, there are these well-rounded human characters that you might still not be rooting for or against. But in the end, it had so much dimension and complexity to it that it felt like something that could happen to me or you or anybody.”
Doc airs on Fox Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET.
