Doctor Odyssey Season 1 To Resume With "Jaw-Dropping" Shark Attack Story, First Images & Synopsis Revealed
Doctor Odyssey season 1 is set to resume with a high-stakes shark attack storyline as ABC unveils new images and a detailed synopsis. The midseason premiere of Doctor Odyssey, airing Thursday, March 6, follows the dramatic fall finale, where Avery (Phillipa Soo) announced she was pregnant, and neither Max (Joshua Jackson) nor Tristan (Sean Teale) knew who was the father. However, as the medical team aboard The Odyssey grapples with life-or-death situations, an injured passenger and a mysterious newcomer promise to complicate things further.
According to TVLine, the first-look images for Doctor Odyssey's midseason premiere see Marcus Emanuel Mitchell’s Monroe suffering a shark bite, prompting a perilous detour to aid a sinking boat. Meanwhile, Avery faces a difficult pregnancy decision as she and Max reach a crucial crossroads. The second half of the season will also welcome back country music legend Shania Twain as Heather, alongside Paris Jackson, who joins as a new, enigmatic passenger that "catches Max’s eye."

What Doctor Odyssey’s Shark Attack Story Means
Doubling Down On High-Seas Drama
Doctor Odyssey has never shied away from over-the-top drama, but the upcoming shark attack episode may be its most ambitious yet. With a “jaw-dropping” maritime emergency unfolding, the two-part episode event promises to push the show’s mix of medical crises, high-seas adventure, and relationship drama to new heights. As Monroe’s shark bite forces the crew into a daring rescue mission, the passengers and staff of The Odyssey are in for a rude awakening—one that might put the many ongoing romances of Doctor Odyssey on ice.
Beyond the action-packed rescue, Avery’s pregnancy dilemma signals a turning point for the love triangle between her, Max, and Tristan. Throughout the season, both men have pursued her, leading to a fraught competition that culminated in episode 7’s potential throuple dynamic. However, with Max and Tristan ultimately rejecting polyamory, Avery now faces a difficult choice—commit to one of them or seek a relationship that aligns with her views on non-monogamy. The timing of this revelation, paired with a potential new love interest for Max, could shake up the ship’s already tangled romances.
