A brief recap of Brilliant Minds episode 1
Brilliant Minds episode 1 kicked off with Oliver taking one of his patients named Harold to his granddaughter’s wedding without the clearance of the floor manager or the approval of the family. Given Harold lost his memories, his daughter and son-in-law didn’t want anything to go wrong.
However, Harold surprised everyone after performing God Only Knows by the Beach Boys. Harold’s granddaughter, who was already moved by her grandpa’s performance at the wedding was even more elated after he called her by her name, “Sophie.”
Eventually, Oliver explained to her that it was the music that unlocked his memory. Despite Oliver’s humanitarian efforts, he was fired from the hospital for this incident.
A few months later, Carol visited her friend Oliver to let him know that there was an opening for a neurologist attending the hospital. Oliver declined the offer, but after learning about a recent case of Hannah Peter, who had experienced a dramatic shift in her behavior after the surgery for epilepsy, he was very curious.

Oliver accepted the new position and discovered that he would have interns learning under his guidance. He eventually met Hannah who was panicking over the whereabouts of her two sons, who had been there the whole time.
Oliver discovered that a surgical error might have altered her emotional response, making her see her sons as impostors, while the other gave up on Hannah, Oliver didn't lose faith in her and eventually managed to convince everyone about her condition.
Oliver and his team helped Hannah retrain her brain to prioritize what she hears over what she sees. In the end, Oliver opened up about his face blindness in front of his interns. He later paid a visit to the Chief who was none other than his mother.
What to expect from Brilliant Minds episode 2? (speculative)
Brilliant Minds episode 2 is anticipated to delve more into the family drama, giving a brief insight into the Wolf household. Given the flashbacks Oliver was experiencing about his father’s death and her mother giving up on her husband’s condition, there will be a lot of emotional explorations.
However, Brilliant Minds episode 2 will primarily revolve around the titular patient who, as the title hints, may be experiencing a physical or emotional detachment from her body. It's another curious case for Dr. Oliver Wolf.
