Shaun Tells His Father He Doesn't Care If He Dies - The Good Doctor

Shaun (Freddie Highmore) goes back home to Wyoming to visit his dying father (guest star Michael Trucco) to get some closure, and let his father have some as well. But instead, Shaun loses his temper and unloads on his father, telling him he's a bad person, and that he killed Shaun's rabbit -- and blames him for his brother's death as well. From 'Friends and Family,' season 3, episode 10 of The Good Doctor. Watch The Good Doctor MONDAY 10|9c on ABC, streaming, on demand, and Hulu.

I hate the fact that the mother stepped in just cause shaun said his dad stinked. But stood by quietly when he killed shauns rabbit

[udntknw]

Parents often think they're free from consequences.

[valerygmz]

when he said “you killed my rabbit, you killed my brother” i cried so much

[tammydreamwriter]

I love how Dr. Glassman silently stands there and simply listens as Shawn is talking, he patiently allows Shawn get it all off his chest and calmly walked away when Shawn storms out of the room. He makes no excuses or explanations, he sees the truth and excepts it unlike Shawn’s own mother.

Dr. Glassman was a better father to Shaun than this man ever was.

[jasontodd]

He may have been his father, but Dr. Glassman was his dad

Love how people think if you’re dying that suddenly all the terrible things you’ve done are forgiven. That peace and forgiveness is a right to have when you have because you are dying

[lucasbowers]

I like how they took an incredibly fit man who’s obviously in the best shape of his life and has thick wavy luscious locks, put a little grey makeup on him and said ‘yo, this guy’s dying’

[Kncperseus]

Everyone acting shocked at his outburst makes me really angry. Yeah, he's a quiet kid - which in no way means he is devoid of emotions. And so you don't get to expect him to be forgiving after suffering a childhood of abuse.

[Bribree]

I find it funny how the father apologizes because he didn't get the children that he wanted he got a child who needed a little more attention and instead he took it out with rage Shaun had every right to be angry

[brett]

Shaun's mom needs to take several seats because she did nothing to protect her kids so she's to blame for Shaun's rabbit dying and Steve's death as well.

[jackotrades]

Shaun’s mom acts like a school teacher. She doesn’t care when a kid is being abused, but considers the kid standing up for himself an avengers level threat.


Edit: Ma I’m famous

[aspectrat]

“I always wanted a son”

you had two and you abused one of them and his rabbit, and didn’t care about the other not even when he died

[Rymar]

I honestly don't blame Shaun for how he feels. If his dad wasn't so abusive and if the mom tried to protect her kids, Steve would still be alive. Shaun is better off without his parents. Steve was the only one in the family that truly loved him

Shauns dad: iM sOrRy ShAuN, iD dO aNyThInG fOr YoU tO fOrGiVe Me

Shaun: Then perish

good person"

That's when I knew Shaun was gonna go in and I was cheering him on ✊

“YOU KILLED MY RABBIT. YOU KILLED MY RABBIT AND YOU KILLED MY BROTHER”
Shaun’s mom: *Shocked Pikachu face*

[SourRobo]

The acting is on whole other level in this series.

[FamilyHistoriandude]

You can't expect people, on or off the spectrum, to just forgive a lifetime of pain and suffering in one sit down.
