“Doctor Odyssey” addresses the crowd in the room

“Doctor Odyssey” addresses the crowd in the room

(This story contains spoilers from the seventh episode of Doctor Odyssey“Oh, Dad!”)

It was ‘Gay Week’ Doctor Odysseyand the Ryan Murphy-produced series appealed to the (almost) mass in the room.

At the end of last week’s episode, the show’s core trio, Max (Joshua Jackson), Avery (Filipa Soo) And Tristan (Sean Teale) decided to make their relationship a little less platonic. After stating that a threesome was on each of the character’s bucket lists, Avery tells her two potential suitors that she would be open to one, forcing Tristan into action. Max eventually joins the group, at a time when everything goes black.

The first moments of this week’s episode – titled “Oh, Daddy!” – opened with Don Johnson’s Captain Robert guessing gay language ahead of the ship’s “Gay Week,” telling the ship that his younger brother, guest star John Stamos, will be on board along with his new boyfriend.

‘Relax, the dads are inside. They’re having a moment, as the kids say,” Johnson’s Robert said Jackson’s Max after the crew decided that Max falls into the daddy category.

Before Max, Avery and Tristan were even able to talk about their previous night together, Bob the Drag Queen then appears as Captain Robert’s guest (a gift for his brother). “You’re his favorite queen,” he tells the drag queen.

Stamos finally shows up with, surprisingly, not one but two boyfriends. This, of course, leads to the core trio talking about what Jackson’s Max mentions as something they’ve agreed to “never talk about again.”

“You two are acting strange, really strange,” Avery tells them. “I had fun, it was exciting and hot,” she continues, showing that she wants the threesome to be more than a one-time event.

An argument over a diagnosis between Max and Tristan during a patient visit then leads to the doctor speaking to Avery and Max, telling them that he doesn’t think he can be with more than one person. “I can’t, I just can’t. What happened the other day was great, but it’s just not me,” Max tells them.

Undeterred, Avery asks Tristan to convince Max to think about it again. Ultimately, Tristan confesses to Avery that he doesn’t want to “share” her.

Other highlights of the episode include Bob the Drag Queen’s appearance in Chappell Roan’s “Hot to Go,” Stamos’ character telling Max, “I have two boyfriends, that’s exciting enough,” and an actual birth to on board the ship.

The throuple appears to have moved back in a love triangleat least for now. But as this episode proved, nothing is impossible in the world world of Doctor Odyssey.
