But before jumping into the anticipated plot of episode 2, let's recap the events of the season premiere.
Leela is excited to take on the position of Chief Resident in season 6 episode 1 of The Resident
The first episode of The Resident season 6 begins with Devon buzzing with anticipation as his clinical trial scores are out and another experiment is just a step away. AJ praises Leela and tells her she is the most intelligent young surgeon at the hospital. Leela seems overjoyed to take on the position of Chief Resident at Chastain. AJ is also happy to have secured Padma and the twins a condo.
Not long after, Padma's pregnancy becomes critical and the medical staff rushes to seek a cure for her and appeals to Ian to perform a miracle. Conrad preps up for the next phase of his life and what it would entail for his family. He is also seen making crucial decisions concerning his love life. Billie, on the other hand, is swamped as she attempts to deal with the aftermath of a tragic incident.
What to expect from season 6 episode 2 of The Resident?
The major issue involving Andrew McCarthy's Dr. Ian Sullivan is blatantly stated in the promo video for season 6 episode 2 of The Resident. Dr. Sullivan is a major addict. Patients are dependent on him to save their lives, but there's a possibility that he might wind up doing the exact opposite, thus proving to be a matter of concern at the moment.
Conrad Hawkins's connection with Cade Sullivan is currently adding to the difficulty. The two have continued their romance since the premiere. But there will undoubtedly be bad blood between the pair due to Cade's father.
His decision to speak out against his love interest's dad complicates the situation, irrespective of Cade's relationship with Ian. It's still unclear whether their bond will last after all.
It goes without saying that things will only get messier with time. However, it can be claimed that certain story arcs will seem more established at the conclusion of the episode while others are only starting to develop. This episode is a tricky one as it forces viewers to recall details from the previous season while making them wonder what's to come in the upcoming episodes of The Resident.
Season 6 episode 2 of The Resident premieres on FOX this Tuesday, September 27, 2022, at 8 pm ET.
