The entire eft side of the patient's heart is compromised. Park says her husband won't come. They're divorced.

Glassman trust Lim's judgment and tells her and Melendez to cut it out or he's going to have to fire one of them.

Shaun has concluded that he is better at surgery than at relationships so he can live without Carly. Park disagrees. He thinks Dr. Elion (their patient) is afraid of loss and so is Shaun. He thinks Shaun's reactions are because he is afraid of intimacy after his brother's death. He says everyone feels fear. Shaun doesn't see why anyone would want to feel afraid. Park says ending up alone is scarier. He thinks Dr. Elion is afraid Leo won't come if she calls him.

Morgan has gone to see Glassman. She has wrist/joint pain two hours before her surgery and wants a cortizone shot. Glassman wonders what she would do if a patient did what she did. Morgan wanted Glassman to know and no one else: she has rhumetoid arthritis.

She says she is confiding in him because he advocated for Shaun. She wants to prove herself.  Glassman says with this surgery if Morgan is off even by a tenth of a millimeter, the patient will suffer permanent brain damage. Morgan says she is only suffering pain, not loss of function. She wants him to believe in her. Glassman says okay.

Park goes to see Leo and tells him about Dr. Elion. Leo says she was never there for the important parts of his life. He's glad at least she isn't a hyocrite and walks away.

The Good Doctor Season 3 Episode 8 Quotes

It is good you didn't find anyone. Family members are the least qualified to make medical decisions.

Shaun

Melendez: I think I should run my surgeries by Glassman from now on. Audrey, we need checks and balances.
Lim: I am balanced. And I am the head of this department. You will continue to run your medical decisions by me.
