The Good Doctor Season 5 Episode 18 Recap

Audrey is also enjoying breakfast with Dalisay, and she has been staying there for a few days. Asher had a smoothie that made him dance at the hospital, and to his astonishment, his parents walked in. Morgan introduces Alex to Steph, a paralyzed patient from the neck down nine years ago. She has had four nasty bouts of pneumonia in the previous six months. There is surgery, but it is fraught with danger. Steph doesn’t care; she wants the procedure to feel better.
Asher’s Dad Preps For Surgery
Asher is dining with his parents when his father informs him that he has terminal lung cancer with only a year to live and no viable surgery alternatives. His mother claims that they do not want his pity because he is a doctor, hoping for a miracle through him. Asher is with his father, who has an MRI, and he says he recently read his letter, which his father says he sent six years ago. His father informs him that he chose to go, that they wanted to assist him, but that he is not the only one who has battled to find his path. Asher claims that he could have followed his rules or accepted and loved himself for who he is. Asher begs for assistance when his father appears to be fighting to breathe.
Asher’s Dad Surgery
Shaun, Marcus, and Jordan are with Asher’s father in surgery. His father is receiving a malignant pleural infusion. They can’t save him because his prognosis is incorrect, and he only has a few weeks to live. Shaun tells Asher’s father that he only has a few weeks, if not days. His mother claims that they have been blessed with amazing miracles from God and will be again. When Asher’s father is well enough to return home, he hugs him and tells him how much he loves him. His mother informs him that he requires a haircut.
Dalisay

Aaron and Jordan inform them that they will have a traditional wedding there. They’ve got the gown, the suit, and the flowers.
The Big Day
Aaron assists Shaun in getting ready and gives him a gift passed down from his great-grandparents, rings, which he wants him to have for him and Lea. Shaun inquires if they can go fishing again.
