All the ‘Doctor Odyssey’ Theme Weeks Revealed So Far
It’s week six of the maiden voyage for Doctor Odyssey, and fans of the new medical drama are in for another sunny adventure when Thursday’s (November 7) new episode debuts on ABC. Each week is, so far, themed, and this time, it’s wedding week on the episode titled, “I Always Cry at Weddings.”
The logline for the new episode, which features some very fire guest stars, is, “When a wealthy family charters The Odyssey for a weeklong wedding cruise, all eyes are on the “bridezilla” as she wreaks havoc on board. Amid the chaos, love and lust manage to find their way through the air with sparks flying among the crew.”
What else is ahead? And what themes have already been part of the show?
Get ready to port at these next stops.
Coming up on Episode 7, “Oh, Daddy!” which airs November 14, is Gay Week. The logline for the episode teases, “Bears, otters, and cubs on board can only mean one thing: It’s Gay Week on The Odyssey. As Max, Avery, and Tristan navigate their relationships, Capt. Massey’s brother arrives with an unexpected guest.”
Then, Episode 8, “Quackers,” is coming on November 21. The logline teases, “It’s Quakers Week, and the ship is bustling with guests obsessed with a quirky trend taking over the cruising industry: rubber duckies. As the voyage unfolds, Avery receives unexpected news.”
Revisit the previous destinations.
Previously, on the last episode, it was “Halloween Week.” The logline for the episode teased, “It’s Halloween on The Odyssey, featuring a high-stakes costume contest; but when a zombie-like illness plagues select passengers, the festivities take a dark turn. Meanwhile, Avery and Max embark on a rescue mission.” Show star Sean Teale previously told TV Insider that the Odyssey would become “a bit of a madhouse,” adding, “Yes, there will be lots of costumes.”
Before “Halloween Week,” there were three other theme weeks to follow the pilot: In Episode 2, it was “Singles Week,” when passenger hook-ups (and some crew dalliances) abounded … and caused a bit of an outbreak along the way. Then, Episode 3 was “Plastic Surgery Week,” which found a bunch of cosmetic surgery patients recovering from their latest procedures onboard the Odyssey, with one passenger holding a very special place in Max’s (Joshua Jackson) heart and history. And, most recently, Episode 4 was “Wellness Week,” which featured Avery (Phillipa Soo) suffering from appendicitis while the cruise liner faced stormy seas.
Every single one of these themes so far buys into the vacation mode atmosphere of the Odyssey, so what other ports of call might the show visit in the weeks beyond that? Weigh in with your predictions in the comments below!
