Doc Season 2 Premieres With New Cast, Complex Medical Cases

The second season of the medical drama "Doc" continues to explore the personal and professional challenges faced by Dr. Amy Larsen, who is grappling with lost memories after an accident. The episode titled "Delusions of Grandeur" features Amy treating Megan, a woman with pseudocyesis and a tumor, while navigating tensions stirred by the return of Dr. Joan Ridley, Amy's former mentor and new Chief of Internal Medicine, played by Felicity Huffman. Joan Ridley's arrival introduces conflict, particularly with Amy and her colleagues, as her intentions and methods raise suspicion. The season also sees the return of Scott Wolf as Dr. Richard Miller in a guest arc, adding further drama to Westside Hospital. The expanded cast includes Molly Parker as Amy, Omar Metwally as Amy's ex-husband and hospital chief, and other key medical staff, contributing to the show's blend of intense medical cases and interpersonal dynamics. Despite some critiques of pacing and editing in episode two, the series maintains its focus on complex medical mysteries alongside evolving character relationships.
