Doctor Odyssey Episode 5 Recap: The fifth episode of Doctor Odyssey shows how the ship’s Halloween party turns into a dangerous rescue mission. There are growing tensions between the main characters and there is a life-or-death situation going on.
The Halloween episode starts with a costume contest— which brings out the tension between Tristan Silva (Sean Teale) and Dr. Max Bankman (Joshua Jackson). When both men show up in matching costumes. they are trying to get Avery’s attention—which is both funny and a little awkward. They usually fight over Avery Morgan (Phillipa Soo) but this time it’s over something lighter: Johnny Depp’s Jack Sparrow and how much they both love Halloween.
Even though they usually fight, when a treasure hunt takes them to the beach. When one of the guests gets her arm stuck between rocks as the tide comes in, what starts out as a fun trip quickly turns into a nightmare. While Avery and Max rush to help the woman, her wife, played by guest star Marija Juliette Abney, watches with worry. It’s very important, and time is running out, so Avery and Max might have to cut off the woman’s arm.
They ask the woman’s wife for permission to cut off the limb in a tense scene as they get ready for the worst. But in a clever turn of events— Avery doesn’t do what everyone thought he would do and instead dislocates the woman’s elbow and frees her arm without cutting her. People may have been hoping for more scary Halloween movies, but this close call shows how quick-thinking and skilled Avery is.
Back on the ship, though, things aren’t so simple to fix. Some passengers have a strange illness that makes them look like zombies. The crew is confused, but they’re assured that it’s not contagious. Tristan’s love of Halloween almost ends his life at the same time. He put up a lot of fancy decorations to make it feel more scary, but they had an unexpected and harmful effect: gas lamps that leaked carbon monoxide poisoning people. After a short stay in the hospital, Tristan thankfully gets better and joins everyone for one last Halloween party on the dance floor.
The episode ends with a mix of scares and close calls that make up Halloween week. The love triangle is still going strong but there have been no major romantic developments yet. There are both funny and tense parts in this episode, which sets the stage for more drama later in the season.
