In episode 3 of Doctor Odyssey, some new faces come aboard, and Plastic Surgery Week gets underway.
The episode begins with Captain, Max, Avery, and Tristan observing the plastic surgery patients over the boat lobby’s balcony. Tristan and Captain Massey mock them, but Avery expresses her opinion on such surgeries, referring to them as a ‘disease’ and ‘Body Dysmorphia.’
As Avery voices her frustration, one of the new characters, Lenore Laurent, walks in looking like money, which is on brand considering her husband owns the cruise line. According to Tristan, the married couple also owns a chain of plastic surgery clinics. She may also have a not-so-secret crush on Captain Massey.
The tension between the owner’s wife and Avery is thick as she condescendingly encourages Avery to put a smile on her face. Avery’s feelings about plastic surgery would intensify as the episode progressed, becoming a central focus. She emphasizes that she cannot tolerate the week because it goes against everything she believes in.
Max enthusiastically announces the arrival of another new guest for Plastic Surgery Week, The Real Ken Doll.
“The man who has made himself look like Ken,” Max said. “He has a reality show with Barbie and Skipper and Allen, the whole gang.” It’s clear the charming doctor is a huge fan.
Tristan was about to leave in shock, but he stopped in his tracks when he heard his mother, Caroline. She ends up asking him to remove the fillers from her facelift. Caroline confides in her son about how much she missed him.
It’s apparent Avery won’t back down when she goes to the event’s formal party dressed as a “gondolier” as Lenore put it. In front of a patient suffering from frostbite who had just received a boob job, she also calls out Lenore. Avery ended up getting fired because things didn’t improve.
On the other side of the ship, Max ran into Ken, told him how much of a huge fan he was, and then ran to show him the cryotherapy chambers, which the two of them jumped into.
When Max has to care for a patient whose nose literally fell off her face after sniffing cocaine, more dramata would ensue, and Avery’s accidental mention of Tristan’s abandonment issues would upset him. Tristan struggles to move on from Avery, while she is eager to leave the ocean behind.
After years, Tristan finally expresses his emotions to his mother about their fractured relationship, saying that she comes in and out of his life at her leisure and love bombs him to make up for her disappearances. Unfortunately, Caroline has a medical emergency after the conversation with her son.
The morning after Max checks Ken for Sepsis in his surgical sites, the boat’s staff and the big three find Ken passed out in his room. While Max performs CPR on his newfound friend, he has flashbacks from his near-death experience. Unfortunately, Ken was pronounced dead.
Max opens up to Avery, revealing that this death is particularly painful for him because, during his own isolation, he was a fan of the show Ken starred in. His vulnerability leads to the pair hooking up. Tristan soon discovers that they are rushing to put on their clothes to help him with Vanna, the frostbite patient.
Avery gets back into Lenore’s good graces when she performs Vanna’s surgery and helps her get better. Not only does Lenore unfire Avery, but she also offers a letter of recommendation for the ship’s in-house scholarship.
Plastic Surgery Week ends with Max meeting the rest of Ken’s gang, Barbie, Skipper, and Allen. Max apologized for not being able to do more, but Barbie reassured him that he had truly seen and understood Ken, which was enough. Episode 4 will air on ABC on Thursday, October 17 at 9 PM ET and will stream on Hulu the next day.
