In an interview withDeadline, Jackson and Soo spoke about the midseason finale and its significance. With drama being a norm onDoctor Odyssey,Jackson joked that Quackers might be a bigger surprise than the throuple and the pregnancy. Soo explained thatthe pregnancy is going to turn everybody’s world upside downwith their relationship still “new” and “fresh,” but the nuances and gray areas are what make this twist “interesting to explore.” Jackson added that"a good portion" of the rest of the season will be “dealing with the fallout"while the show will continue its groove. Check out what they said:
Jackson: I mean, to me, in some ways, a throuple and a pregnancy was far less surprising than Quackers. I had no idea what Quackers were.
Soo: I was definitely surprised. I think just immediately, right off the bat, as an actor, your brain starts firing in all sorts of different directions, because you think, ‘Okay, we’ve established this very new, fresh relationship, and then this pregnancy happens, and then everybody’s world is sort of turned upside down.’ So getting to understand the nuances and the gray areas of what comes with that was interesting to explore.
Jackson: Obviously, we’ve just dropped a bombshell here at the midseason break, so a good portion of the rest of the season will be dealing with the fallout from that bombshell. Other than that, I think…you’ve seen is what the show is. Our characters will continue to love each other, argue with each other, bicker with each other, come back together, break apart, do all those fun things.

Our Take On Doctor Odyssey
Rubber Ducks Mark The Highlight
Perhaps the biggest news is that the series will continue its Quaker-sized fun. Surprise pregnancy and relationship dramas are already old news on television, but the series has managed to find fun in it. Having a rubber-duck week on the cruise liner with everything going on gives the series a unique edge to make its case. The nuances of Max, Avery, and Tristan’s relationship make the surprise pregnancy arc fascinating, especially with two men already making their intentions clear. Tristan is interested in monogamy with a more traditional mindset, whileMax doesn’t like to share a partner and is interested in having a family.
