Good Doctor EP David Shore Weighs In on Gruesome Finale Cliffhanger — and Serves Up Early Season 6 Intel!

We’ll never hear “God Only Knows” by The Beach Boys the same way again.

Monday’s mostly joyous Good Doctor finale took a last-minute turn when Nurse Villanueva’s violent ex-boyfriend Owen snuck into St. Bonaventure, posing as a flower delivery man. Chief of surgery Dr. Audrey Lim (played since Season 1 by Christina Chang) found Villanueva, who’d been stabbed and left for dead. Seconds later, Lim turned around and was confronted by Owen, who stabbed her twice in the abdomen before fleeing the scene.
