What to Expect from Doc Season 2 Episode 3: New Blood
Joan begins her tenure as Westside’s new Chief of Internal Medicine on Doc Season 2 Episode 3, “New Blood.”
Any honeymoon period for Amy and Joan as Joan starts her new role as Amy’s boss already seemed pretty unlikely after the end reveal of Doc Season 2 Episode 3, Delusions of Grandeur.”
After getting little snippets for a dinner she had with Joan throughout the episode, Amy finally remembers that Joan told her to leave Michael during that dinner.
We don’t know for sure if Joan telling Amy to leave Michael was the thing that finally pushed her to end her marriage. However, it certainly appears to be a contributing factor.
More importantly, Amy appears to believe that Joan was the one who convinced her to end her marriage. Something Amy wishes she could take back.
If that’s the case, the warm and fuzzies Amy was feeling towards Joan on “Delusions of Grandeur” were gone within minutes of Amy learning the news about Joan being named Chief.
And, if that weren’t enough, it looks like Joan comes out swinging on her first day. The promo for the episode shows Joan announcing that there will be a hospital-wide assessment that will result in doctors being let go.
It also depicts a tense confrontation between Joan and Amy regarding the treatment of a patient and a possible error on Amy’s part.
In all likelihood, there is more to the story about the patient than just Amy making a mistake. Still, it’s pretty obvious that Joan isn’t going to give Amy the benefit of the doubt, regardless of their history together.
Buckle up, buttercup, it’s going to be a bumpy ride!
