Doctor Odyssey season 1 episode 9 is set to premiere on March 6, 2025, at 9 pm ET, marking the long-awaited return of the hit medical drama. Fans have been on edge since the mid-season finale in November 2024, which left the crew of The Odyssey and its viewers in a whirlwind of emotions.
The upcoming episode, titled Shark Attack, starts as a two-part special that is expected to deliver intense medical emergencies and plenty of drama among the ship’s medical team.
The biggest cliffhanger from Part 1 revolved around Nurse Avery Morgan’s (Phillipa Soo) unexpected pregnancy.

A recap of Doctor Odyssey season 1 episode 8 episode 9 arrives
In Doctor Odyssey season 1 episode 8, titled Quackers, the show delivered a mid-season finale filled with drama, a quirky theme, and a major twist. The episode was set during “Rubber Ducky Week,” where guests on The Odyssey were obsessed with painting and hiding rubber ducks around the ship. However, the playful theme took a backseat to the unfolding chaos in the medical team’s personal lives.
The biggest development was Avery Morgan’s (Phillipa Soo) pregnancy reveal. She had been trying to solidify the relationship with Dr. Max Bankman (Joshua Jackson) and Nurse Tristan Silva (Sean Teale), but both men admitted they only wanted her, not each other. Left feeling rejected and unsure, Avery discovered she was pregnant.
In a tense scene, she reveals the news to Max and Tristan by setting two pink and blue rubber ducks on Max’s desk. Neither Max nor Tristan took the news well. Max immediately tried to reassure her about managing medical school and a baby, and Tristan insisted that Avery’s choice was all that mattered. The episode ended with uncertainty over who the baby’s father is.
Meanwhile, the medical drama of the week involved Jerry Manafort, a guest with Pica, a disorder that causes people to eat non-food items. The medical team removed nearly 20 objects from his stomach through an endoscopy, but his condition worsened, leading to emergency surgery. They found a large part of his intestines necrotic, requiring major surgical intervention.
Outside the medical bay, Captain Massey (Don Johnson) dealt with the quirky “Quackers” movement, trying to keep the guests entertained while chaos ensued below deck. Tristan spent most of the episode in the pool with the ship’s chef, Vivian (Laura Harrier), as their relationship began to develop, adding another layer of complexity to the unfolding drama.
With Avery’s pregnancy bombshell, a medical crisis, and personal entanglements, Quackers set up big stakes for the upcoming Shark Attack episode, leaving fans eager for answers.
Doctor Odyssey season 1 episode 9 is coming out on Thursday.
