The Good Doctor Season 4 Episode 5: A Quick Recap
‘The Good Doctor’ Season 4 Episode 5 is titled ‘Fault.’ We see a confused Shaun rethinking his decision to give the new residents autonomy. What happens is, Asher, misdiagnoses a patient who gets admitted with back pain. Asher diagnoses Carl with an L2 compression fracture but misses out on a life-threatening aneurysm. And sadly, because of Asher’s carelessness, the final operation does not give any good results — leading to Carl’s death.

When Shaun discusses the incident with Glassman, the latter tells him that nobody is flawless — everyone can make mistakes. Shaun heads back and stays for a while with Asher, who is still reeling from his first patient’s death. On the other hand, Claire and Park treat Ellie, who has a dermoid cyst. After two surgeries, the docs can remove the cyst, but she forgets bits and pieces of her memories.

The Good Doctor Season 4 Episode 6: Spoilers Ahead!!
ABC has not released an official synopsis for episode 6 yet. However, showrunner David Shore had hinted that the new episodes in 2021 would highlight Shaun and Lea’s relationship. Now, they have moved in together. He said in an interview to Deadline: “We want to work with…a mature relationship, and the problems of that, the mistakes made in relationships, and the wisdom that Shaun can bring, along with the misunderstandings, and the confusion he takes. As always, it’s not about the comedy of that, although it’s often quite amusing, watching Shaun’s take on that.” The upcoming episodes might additionally chronicle some new dynamics between Morgan and Park.
