Doctor Odyssey Season 1 Episode 6: I Always Cry at Weddings Review
In Episode 6 of Ryan Murphy’s popular medical drama Doctor Odyssey, it becomes clear that three is not a crowd. Max, Tristan, and Avery leave viewers stunned with a steamy threesome scene. There has been speculation since the show’s debut if they would actually go there given the vibes between the three. Now it has happened.
The episode, titled “I Always Cry at Wedding,” featured an entire wedding party, including two adorable flower girls, bridesmaids, the mother of the bride, two chefs with the esteemed wedding cake, and the bride, Lisa, played by none other than country star sensation Kelsea Ballerini.
Captain Massey, Max, Tristan, and Avery overlook the ballroom where the welcome dinner is taking place, watching Eric, the groom, experiencing nervousness over his best man Bennet’s speech. Max catches Captain crying, who admits that he’s a sucker for love.
Avery, in her usual form, says that these events are no longer about love, but about social media likes. Max and Tristan, however, proudly talk about their dreams for marriage and kids.
Throughout the dinner, Lisa couldn’t help but notice that her mother was nowhere to be found. It turns out she was in the medical bay suffering from “sleepy sun syndrome,” as Avery called it.
Earlier in the episode the mother told her daughter that she doesn’t spray for tans, but that she does it naturally. In this case, she was taking medicine that didn’t mix well with the sun, but Max assured her that she would be able to be at her daughter’s wedding.
Another emergency would ensue when Bennet is diagnosed with ringworm. Max and Avery explain that since they caught it early, it can be treated, but they’ll have to wait until the next port to obtain the necessary drug. Tristan advises him to stop having sex, Max adding that his condition is contagious.
The wedding drama ascends when Lisa begins vomiting, experiencing pain, and displaying jaundice in her eyes. Max reveals that she has pancreatitis and asks if she has been taking any substances, to which she admits that her one-of-a-kind wedding dress cannot be altered, so she doubled the dose of Ozempic. This turn of events forces Max and Avery to pretend to be the bride and groom at the rehearsal dinner, adding some comic relief.
The episode takes a somber turn when Eric breaks down in front of Max, confessing that he’s not the person Lisa thinks he is and that he’s had numerous sexual partners over the last 30 years. This leads to a reality check: he may have a sex addiction, and what he and his fiancé have is a facade.
Something unimaginable happens later on. Eric puts on his wedding suit, inspects the venue room, and goes out to the deck, taking a deep breath before jumping off the ship. Captain Massey gathers his crew, and in front of everyone, reveals Eric’s death, assuring the family that everything possible is being done to help and that they will be returning to their home port.
Lisa opens up to Max and Avery, admitting that she saw her dad cheating in her childhood and knew that Eric was unfaithful. She also discloses that she slept with Bennet because she liked him, but she did everything to make things work with Eric, despite his struggles, because she wanted to get married.
Avery and Tristan raid the kitchen and tear into the wedding cake at the end of the episode. Max catches them, and they all get drunk on champagne, continuing their earlier conversation about their life goals. Things get fiery when Avery suggests that the three of them have a threesome. Tristan and Max think she’s bluffing, but she proves she’s dead serious when Tristan goes in for a kiss, Max going in not long after.
The chemistry between the big three finally explodes, leaving viewers shook that it actually happened. The friendship between Max, Avery, and Tristan has officially gotten even more complicated. How will the hot trio navigate that? You’ll just have to keep watching.
Next week Captain Massey’s brother will be coming aboard. Episode 7 will premiere November 14 on ABC and will stream on Hulu the next day.
