While waiting for the official release date of the half of Season 5, the midseason finale certainly left the fans with plenty of questions to ponder over while they await new episodes.
Will Shaun and Lea still get married? Shaun is seen to have demanded that Lea admit that she manipulated his patient satisfaction scores. Shaun was also seen to have crumpled up their venue contract and told her that he could no longer marry her, we’ll have to see if they still end up together.
Assuming they get married (Hopefully!), we’ll we get to see on screen familiar faces as part of their RSVP? And what about Shaun’s estranged mother who was inviting other people earlier in Season 5?
Will Salen pay for her Fatal Mistake? In the last episodes that were aired on ABC, expired medication was given to a newborn that caused the death of the baby. More questions are running through a fan’s mind like, will Glassman stick around or will Morgan take over the clinic?
Although the Good Doctor delayed half of Season 5’s episodes, fans are surely at the edge of their seat waiting for the next half to come out within the year.
