'The Good Doctor' Fans Think This Week's Emoji Scene Was the Best One of the Show so Far
The Good Doctor season 3 episode 7 aired on ABC on Monday.
Viewers particularly loved one scene of the episode, where Dr. Shaun Murphy tries to physically demonstrate an emoji that Carly sent to him via text.
Some fans of The Good Doctor even said on Twitter that it was one of the show's "best" scenes yet.
When we tune in to a new episode of The Good Doctor every Monday, we expect to be met with a slew of serious issues: life-threatening injuries, medical decisions that have the potential to tear families apart, and any number of obstacles that Dr. Shaun Murphy has to overcome as a doctor with a developmental disability. All of those things are reasons why we love the show, after all! In Monday's episode, however, fans were met with something else entirely — a light-hearted scene that some are now calling the show's "best" yet.
In season 3 episode 7 of The Good Doctor, "SFAD," Dr. Shaun Murphy's girlfriend, Carly, is away at a conference, marking the first time the couple has been apart for a significant period of time since they began their relationship. And while she's been gone, Carly has been texting Shaun — but he hasn't quite known how to respond.
In the opening scene of the episode, Shaun's roommate, Lea, tells Shaun he likely should say something to Carly while she's away, so he turns to her when later he receives a text from Carly that he doesn't understand. The text is simply an emoji, however (the "face with rolling eyes" emoji, to be precise), and when Lea asks what emoji it is that Carly sent, Shaun tries to demonstrate using his own facial expressions.
Many fans were charmed by the humor of the scene, and they quickly took to Twitter to gush over it: "Shaun's imitation of the emoji had me ROLLING," one fan wrote. "I'm calling that the Shaun-emoji from now on 😂," tweeted another.
Some fans even went so far as to say the scene was the "best thing" they'd ever seen on the show:
OMG!! #Shaun acting out an emoji was like the best thing I’ve seen in like...forever!! 😂🤣😂 ~Kristie♥️ #TheGoodDoctor @shorez @SPTV @todavidkim @GoodDoctorABC

At the end of the day, it's great to see that a medical drama like this one can still manage to pepper some humor into its sometimes-emotionally heavy episodes. So, to the writers of The Good Doctor we say: Keep that uplifting content coming, folks!
