What to Expect from Doc Season 2 Episode 18: Orientation

Doc, Previews

A family road trip takes a dangerous turn on Doc Season 2 Episode 18, “Orientation.”

After months of drama and fraught emotions, a family road trip to take Katie to her college orientation seems exactly like the low-key escape Amy and Michael need. However, a decision to make a pit stop to hike a family-favorite trail proves fateful.

While enjoying nature and reminiscing on the way to Katie’s college, the trio discovers a critically injured man stranded in the woods. 

With time running out and few resources, the family rushes to save the man, but things don’t go smoothly. 

The promo shows Katie alone in the woods, panicking after volunteering to get help. That suggests that what starts as a valiant effort to save a stranger ends up with Katie’s life in danger, too.

The safe bet is that Katie will be fine by the end of the episode. The bigger question is what impact this will have on the family dynamic, which has been more than a little rocky lately.
