The Bad News Piles Up for Shaun - The Good Doctor

Earlier, Lea (Paige Spara) told Dr. Shaun Murphy (Freddie Highmore) that she deleted some patient reviews to inflate Shaun's satisfaction scores. Then, Dr. Aaron Glassman (Richard Schiff) tells Shaun he's moving to Montana. When Shaun loses a patient -- a baby -- because the required medication was expired, all the change he's been navigating over the past few months catches up to him. From 'The Good Doctor' season 5, episode 7, 'Expired.' Watch 'The Good Doctor' MONDAYS 10/9c on ABC. Stream on Hulu.

This scene made me cry a lot actually because you can see how hard Shaun tried to save the baby but couldn't and it probably reminds him of losing his baby

Freddie Highmore's performance is so extraordinary. He deserves an award.

Freddie Highmore is a highly perfect actor, he is an Oscar winner for me.

His acting is amazing my son has autism and this is exactly what happens when he melts down, it's agony to watch.

“ You lied to me. I can’t trust you. And I can’t marry you. “ that hit so hard, in a relationship you need trust, the fact that she lied to him was heartbreaking, and him saying that was heartbreaking

Shaun has unresolved trauma. Glassman leaving triggered his abandonment issues and was not too different from when Lea left him. Lea lying about the scores triggered his unresolved hurt from when Lea turned him down in S3. He felt like she didn't respect him then or now. Losing the baby triggered his unprocessed grief over his and Lea's loss. The people that he trusts most have left him, lied to him and did things that showed a lack of respect for him & displayed they felt he was incapable of handling his own issues.

Once Shaun acknowledges his underlying issues and understand why others behaved how they did things will be ok. Lea deleted reviews because she loves him and Salens system is flawed. Glassman left because he felt that he was no longer useful to Shaun and was grieving the loss of his marriage. Also Glassman has to realize that he is Shauns surrogate father. No matter how old or independent your kids are you don't stop being their parent. Lea has to realize that Shaun is not a child who needs to be managed or constantly protected.

If this man doesn’t get nominated for an emmy after this i swear….

[miquon]

Can we appreciate Freddie Highmore's performance

[feliciatierney]

It's intereresting that sometimes the exceptional child actors can't transition to adult careers and then you get someone like Freddie who clearly just has a gift and gets better and better and better. This is an Emmy performance IMHO.

[ruth-annjohnson]

Why hasn't he got an award yet? Haven't even watch the episode yet and seeing this clip I felt it for him

[angge_]

I feel that losing this baby made Shaun feel like he is losing his baby all over again. He feels like he failed again. He failed to stop his baby dying despite nothing could be done but he felt that this baby could have been saved by him had the medication has not been expired. Add to the fact that he thinks everyone is either leaving him or lying to him and he just reached his breaking point.

The fact that Freddie Highmore still doesn't have an Oscar for this show is just comedy at this point....

[LeenEla]

We didn’t see Shaun grieve for his baby… but then this scene happened!! I hope he forgives Lea because she did everything she could to make the transition easier & was filling in for Glassman💔

[robclark]

I'm a grown man with daughters in their thirties and this actually broke my heart cuz I've been watching the good doctor for a minute now it's a very very good show and yes the Freddy is Emmy Worthy

[nancypeterson]

It’s hard to believe that Freddie Highmore hasn’t received an Emmy yet. He is amazing in this role & just as amazing in Bates Motel. It was hard to believe he really wasn’t insane. He is the perfect actor to play Shaun. Please Hollywood, take a serious look at this guy. His acting is amazing. I will never miss an episode of this show.

[nagaprathyushagattu]

"I'm right here"and " I got you " are two very powerful statements to soothe Dr.Murphy!!
Wonderfully portrayed emotions!

[artechstorm]

No matter how much shawn faces many challenges, this episode and what he's been through may have been the darkest moment. He trusted his fiancé, lost his kid, got fired, and many more I haven't listed, but this will make me cry because he cares about his patients to not go through what he's have been through.

[aprilhippie]

To think this guy use to be Charlie in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory now look how far he’s come

[elizabethsilva]

I can't stop crying 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. Freddie is truly the best actor!!! These are my applauses to him 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏.

As someone with mild Autism this hit me hard. I've learned to take a day once in awhile just to sit and cry. It takes a lot to hold my emotions in control and over time it builds up.. I'm lucky I've got a wonderful husband and when I say I'm having a cry day he just lets me cry and let it out. He has no idea just how much it means to me to be able to say I'm have a cry day and he lets me! GOD thank you for putting this man in my life.
