ABC’s freshman medical drama Doctor Odyssey escalates the stakes in “The Wave, Part 2,” airing Thursday, May 15, 2025, at 9:00 PM ET. The episode picks up with Dr. Max Zhao’s transmission abruptly cutting out, leaving his status and location unknown and triggering an urgent response from his colleagues aboard the luxury cruise ship.
As Max and Barry seek refuge in an abandoned church, desperately trying to re-establish contact, Avery takes command of a dangerous rescue mission. With time critical, the team on The Odyssey must locate Max before the situation becomes dire. In Max’s absence, Tristan steps into a leadership role on the ship, managing the unfolding crisis.
The series, which follows the unique medical emergencies faced by the on-board doctor of a high-end cruise liner, places its protagonist in significant jeopardy, far from the usual hospital setting.
