Judging by the hints that Shore gave us, we believe that The Good Doctor Season 6 Episode 1 will show us how the other doctors manage to find Dr. Lim. She is severely injured. However, we assume that the team will eventually be able to save her.
Further, Dr. Shaun Murphy’s conduct in this intense hostage situation would also be vital. Given his condition, seeing people around him being injured is sure to bring out old memories. We assume flashbacks from his brother’s unfortunate death may haunt him. Although, given the tremendous amount of character development that he has had, we assume that he would be able to rise about it all. It will surely be interesting to see how to tackle this situation.
Moreover, the rest of the team, including Dr. Glassman and Dr. Andrews, are going to try to take charge and save the hospital and their colleagues from the terrorists.
