‘The Good Doctor’ Season 7 Ending Explained: What Happens in the Series Finale?
There is nothing more frustrating than a television series being canceled without notice, leaving audiences with a cliffhanger ending. Dramas such as Hannibal, A League of Their Own, and Quantum Leap have all ended with no conclusion in sight. That’s why it can be so satisfying for shows to end on their own terms. When it was announced that ABC’s The Good Doctor would be hanging up its stethoscope at the end of Season 7, viewers were worried that perhaps the writers wouldn’t be able to tie up all the loose ends of the story. Luckily, the writing team devised a way to achieve a rewarding completion for the entire series.
For seven seasons, The Good Doctor narrated the journey of Dr. Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore), a young surgeon with autism and Savant syndrome. Each season follows Shaun as he becomes a more capable doctor and learns to open himself up to friendships and a romantic relationship with his girlfriend, and then wife, Lea (Paige Spara). Viewers are treated to in-depth storylines and intriguing medical mysteries that Shaun and the other doctors must solve in each episode. There are plenty of heart-wrenching conflicts and life-or-death situations, but also a hopeful tone, as the adventures unfold for those working at St. Bonaventure Hospital. With the series finally concluded, how does the story wrap up for everyone in The Good Doctor’s Season 7 finale?
