“Great Expectations” Plot: Amy and Ben go toe to toe when their cancer patient demands the impossible. Jake discovers a senior Westside surgeon has botched an operation and he must decide whether to speak out and risk his tenuous new position in cardiology. Sonya grapples with the weight of life-changing news.
Molly Parker stars as Dr. Amy Larsen, Omar Metwally is Dr. Michael Hamda, Jon-Michael Ecker plays Dr. Jake Heller, Amirah Vann is Dr. Gina Walker, Anya Banerjee is Dr. Sonya Maitra, Patrick Walker plays Dr. Theodore “TJ” Coleman, and Blair Underwood is Dr. Ben Grant.

Inspired by a true story and based on the hit eponymous Italian drama series, Doc is a life-affirming medical drama that follows the heartbreak and victories of hard-charging, brilliant physician Dr. Amy Larsen (Emmy nominee Molly Parker, House of Cards) as she rebuilds her life after a car crash erased eight years of her memory.
This season, Amy will continue to confront hard truths about her missing years, work to repair fractured relationships and seek to reconcile the person she used to be with the one everyone else has come to know.
Martin can’t seem to catch a break in the promo for Fox’s Best Medicine season two, episode four. Episode four, “No Place Like Om,” will air on Tuesday, October 13, 2026 at 8pm ET/PT.
“No Place Like Om” Plot: As Martin desperately tries to leave Port Wenn to meet Eden in Boston for the weekend, he must first investigate the extremely strange behavior of three patients who have all recently visited a meditation retreat. Also, Mark is affected by the high school’s graduation and Sarah’s first guest in her rented spare room is none other than ex-paramour Eddie McCroy.
Josh Charles stars as Dr. Martin Best, Abigail Spencer is back as Louisa Gavin, Josh Segarra reprises his role as Sheriff Mark Mylow, Annie Potts stars as Aunt Sarah, and Cree returns as Elaine Denton. Stephen Spinella plays Greg Garrison and Jason Veasey plays George Brady.
Martin Best is a brilliant surgeon who abruptly leaves his illustrious career in Boston to become the general practitioner in a quaint East Coast fishing village where he spent summers as a child. Unfortunately, Martin’s blunt and borderline rude bedside manner rubs the quirky, needy locals the wrong way, and he quickly alienates the town, even though he’s all they’ve got.
Although Martin can expertly address any medical ailment or mystery in this idiosyncratic town, he’s really just desperate to be left the hell alone. Instead, he keeps getting dragged right smack into the middle of their personal chaos, feuds, and fantasies. What the locals don’t know is that Martin’s terse demeanor masks a debilitating new phobia and deep-seated psychological issues that prevent him from experiencing true intimacy with anyone. But tenacity is the creed of everyone in their small village, and the people who live there may be exactly what the doctor ordered.

Henry (Jeremy Irvine) has made it back through the stones and is immediately captured by Arch Bug’s men as Starz’s Outlander: Blood of my Blood season two, episode four opens. He insists he needs to find Julia and then punches Arch (Terence Rae) in the face for lying that Julia had died.
Arch is about to physically escalate the situation when he’s told to look at Henry’s face. There are marks there and since he went through the stones and came back, Arch’s wife, Murdina (Sorcha Groundsell), believes it’s obvious he’s been with the fair folk.
Murdina is adamant they leave him be since she doesn’t want to risk a curse. Henry plays along and claims he was with the fair folk and they put lightning in his head.
(The following is a recap of season two, episode four – “A Portion of My Soul” – and there are spoilers.)
Henry’s shocked to learn Malcolm Grant and his father are dead. Murdina believes Malcolm died of a broken heart on what should have been his wedding day.
Arch takes Henry to the new laird, Malcolm ‘Mac’ Grant (young, deceased Malcolm’s uncle), who’s unhappy that Henry was gone when he needed him the most. He makes Henry promise that he’ll never disappoint him again. Mac (Simon Merrells) orders Arch to give Henry 20 lashes since Lord Lovat demands retribution for kidnapping Julia and his son. Plus, he informs Henry that he’ll be marching with them when they meet with Argyll’s forces.
Fortunately, Arch knows better than to mess with someone who has been with the fair folk, so he only pretends to whip Henry. Henry cries out with each lash, but only as an act to fool those nearby.
Over at Castle Leathers, a messenger arrives with a letter from Lord Grant to Simon Fraser, and Julia (Hermione Corfield) reads it as soon as he leaves. She learns that Henry has returned and is back with the Grants. Seema (Lauren McQueen) is eavesdropping as Julia becomes emotional and hugs Davina (Sara Vickers). She hears Julia say that she’s going to her husband and finally realizes this is the wife that Henry was always talking about.
Davina helps Julia with a disguise as a man after sending Seema and their cook to market. She’ll make sure Seema doesn’t leave the house when she comes back. Davina gives Julia a knife, and Julia asks her to watch over her baby if she doesn’t return tomorrow.
Julia rides to Bowmont House to see Henry, as Henry is writing to her, reminding her that she’s his reason to survive. Although he’s going to war again, he now knows her face and that she is his life. Suddenly, he looks up from his letter and sees her outside. He rushes out and calls out, “May I assist you, sir?”
Julia turns and nearly in tears, follows him inside. They fall into each other’s arms, and she confirms their son, William, is fine. She’s sorry she couldn’t follow him through the stones and learns the stones took him to 1924. They thought he was crazy and looked him up in Inverness at an insane asylum. Henry says that because he kept talking about his wife in another time, they gave him shock treatments. When Julia brings up Claire, Henry doesn’t recognize the name.
Henry looks confused and Julia reminds him they have a six-year-old daughter born on October 20th. He’s frustrated that he knows October 20 but didn’t realize why it’s important. Julia says they left her with his brother in London, and suddenly all the memories rush back in. Henry explains the shock treatments were to take away his pain by wiping away memories of the war but instead stripped him of memories of Claire.
Henry’s devastated that the treatments burned away his memories of Claire, and he didn’t even realize what was happening. He confesses he’s not sure what’s real anymore. Julia insists she and their family are real.
Julia becomes quiet and later that evening she finally explains why. She discloses that Seema is now at Castle Leathers and told her about sleeping with Henry. Henry doesn’t deny anything but claims it’s not what Julia thinks. Seema was a prostitute in a brothel that he visited because someone said an English girl was there. And then he explains he was told that she and William died in childbirth. He ran to their home, saw Julia alive in their bed, and they made love. It was only later he realized it wasn’t Julia.
Henry believes the grief broke something in him, and when he realized what was actually happening, it was like Julia died again. Julia is furious he slept with another woman.
“It was you! In my heart, in my mind, it was you,” pleads Henry. He didn’t tell her because he was a coward, and Julia’s upset that she had to hear it from Seema. She will forgive him, but it will take time. Julia wants her old Henry back and Henry promises to find him. When he does, Julia wants Henry to come home to her after the war.
Night falls and Julia listens to men sing a song of war outside. She smiles at Henry as she recalls the letters they exchanged and their first time meeting in person. He proposed and although the timing was terrible, she said yes – just like in every letter she wrote him. And she confesses that she’s terrified he’s leaving for war again. Forget what she just said earlier; she needs her husband tonight – her real husband that she fell in love with through letters.
They take off their clothes while staring into each other’s eyes. “Find him…now…tonight…for me,” begs Julia. Henry replies, “He’s here.”
Lying in bed after making love, Julia tells Henry that the seer said she can’t travel through the stones. They put the pieces together and realize they need gems to travel, but the gems disappear once they do. Henry believes they need to find three stones – one for each of them – to get home to Claire. Henry’s going to look for them when he’s gone, even though Julia’s scared she can’t travel. Henry will send word when he finds the stones.
Henry wakes up and discovers that Julia’s already up and writing him a letter. She claims she doesn’t want letters back; she just wants him. Julia writes SWAK on the outside. They briefly kiss before Henry joins the men outside.
Julia returns to Castle Leathers and takes off her disguise while calling out for Davina. Seema quietly follows her, picking up the knife Julia puts down. The cradle’s empty but Julia doesn’t have time to react because Seema is now behind her, talking about her time with Henry and how he would whisper Julia’s name.
Julia demands to know where her son is, but Seema is obsessed with her memories of Henry. She believes Henry loved her and she locks the door behind her as she holds Julia at knife point.

Ellen Brings Brian a Mixed Bag of News
Ellen (Harriet Slater) and Grace (Ruby Fubara) make it to the Fraser camp and immediately run into Murtagh (Rory Alexander). Ellen and Brian (Jamie Roy) have a quick embrace before she blurts out that his dad’s a traitor. She explains Castle Leoch was attacked and before she killed MacKinney, he revealed that Lord Lovat made a deal with the Duke of Argyll. Brian and Murtagh realize that’s why Lord Lovat divided their forces.
Dougal’s heading into a trap and Brian and Murtagh need to stop him. Before Brian confronts his dad, he tells Ellen to go to Dougal if he doesn’t return. He pays his father a visit and Lord Lovat (Tony Curran) doesn’t deny that he made a deal with Argyll. Brian wants no part of this. Lord Lovat insults Ellen and kicks Brian out of his family, warning him he’ll have nothing after the war’s over.
After Brian storms out, Lord Lovat tells Balloch that love will be his ruin. Lord Lovat watches as Brian, Ellen, Murtagh, and Grace ride away. He orders Balloch (Chick Allan) to get the men prepared to march in an hour. Lord Lovat believes they can make it to Inverness and get the jump on the Jacobites before Brian’s able to spread the word of his treachery.
Not long after, Lord Lovat and his men arrive at Inverness and claim it without encountering any opposing forces.
Brian’s foursome finds Dougal (Sam Retford) and his men on the road, and Ellen explains that Lord Lovat’s taking Inverness for the crown. He’s heading into a trap. Plus, she had to kill MacKinney after he and a small group of his men attacked Castle Leoch. However, 20 of his men are with Dougal right now and ready to attack. Dougal has a whispered conversation with his men near him and determines MacKinney’s men are at the rear of the column.
Dougal wants to kill Lord Lovat now, but both Ellen and Brian advise that’s a foolish idea since Lord Lovat has Inverness’ cannons. Instead, they should head to Perth and join up with Mar’s forces. Murtagh agrees and reminds Dougal, “Dead men win no wars.”
Ellen quietly informs Dougal that Janet’s dead, but Maura and Jocasta are alright and helping with Janet’s wake.
Dougal agrees they’ll head south to Perth. He orders one of his men to gather others. They need to kill the MacKinneys now.
A short while later, Dougal insists that Ellen return home, and Brian confirms she will, telling her which road to take that’s safe. Dougal still doesn’t like or trust a Fraser, but Brian reminds him he chose Ellen over his clan. Dougal warns that they’ll settle matters after the war if both survive.
Meanwhile, Jocasta’s husband, John Cameron, wonders why Grace is in camp and orders her to tidy his tent. After she walks off, John’s cousin Hugh reveals that he’s heading home in the morning and will place a union flag on John’s door. Hugh’s certain Mar’s a fool and that the uprising will fail.
Murtagh watches as John enters the tent with Grace. That night, Murtagh gently asks about Mr. Cameron and Grace doesn’t reveal anything about what happened. They have a quiet chat about their lives by the fire, but when Murtagh moves to put a cloak over her shoulders, she suddenly gets up and says good night.
In their tent, Brian asks Ellen about Janet and her family, and Ellen describes each with one word except Janet. Janet had a kind heart. Ellen admits her dad would have thought Brian was crazy for throwing his life away for a woman. She wonders what he’d call himself for giving up everything, and Brian replies, “Yours.”
Before they make love, Ellen breaks the good news that she’s pregnant! Brian is speechless, and then he asks how he can be a good father with Lord Lovat as his dad. Ellen reminds him he chose her over everything Lord Lovat offered. Brian finally smiles and says, “A child?” Ellen replies, “Our child.”
The following morning Ellen and Brian get ready to part, and she tells him she promised Maura she’d bring Dougal home. She makes Brian promise not to be the one who kills him, and they both smile. Brian wishes he could just leave with her, and she makes him promise he’ll fight like he has everything to lose. Brian assures her that even if he’s gone, his love will never be.
Ellen rides off, unaware that Balloch’s been spying on them.
Murtagh apologizes to Grace and she reveals she wasn’t offended; it was just unexpected. She made a flower for him from her underskirt and hopes it will remind him that there’s kindness in the world.
Kevin Kwan’s first book of his bestselling Crazy Rich Asians trilogy was adapted into a blockbuster film in 2018 that grossed $239 million worldwide before exiting theaters. HBO’s now continuing the story with a series that reunites the film’s stars.
Golden Globe nominee Constance Wu reprises her role as Rachel, Actor Awards nominee Henry Golding returns as Nick, and Emmy winner Ronny Chieng is back as Eddie. Oscar-winner Michelle Yeoh also returns as Eleanor in a recurring role.
“Eight years ago, Crazy Rich Asians changed my life, and I got to make it with the most creative and hilarious group of people I’ve ever known. Since then, this cast has become movie stars, superheroes, arena-filling performers, and even an Oscar winner, so bringing everyone back together feels like coming home,” said the film’s director Jon M. Chu. “It’s been incredible watching audiences make this movie part of their lives, from mahjong nights to becoming the ultimate airplane movie, and I can’t wait to share what comes next. Finally, I get to answer the question I’ve been asked almost every day for eight years: ‘When are we getting the sequel?’ Well… bok bok bitch, we’re back.”
Crazy Rich Asians co-screenwriter Adele Lim is serving as showrunner and executive producer. Jon M. Chu is involved as an executive producer along with Kevin Kwan, Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, Chloe Dan, Jeannine Tang, Naia Cucukov Richards, and Rose Lam.
“I am thrilled that the Crazy Rich Asians family is getting back together thanks to HBO and Warner Bros. Television,” stated Kwan. “Our incredible fans around the world have been patiently waiting for this, and it will be worth the wait! Getting to see my stories and characters come to life with the breathing room of an HBO series is a dream come true, and I am so excited to experience the magic that Adele, Jon, Nina, Brad, our amazing writers, and iconic cast will create.”
Commenting on the HBO announcement, showrunner Adele Lim said, “It’s a Crazy Rich Asians family reunion! This series is the sequel we’ve been waiting for, but instead of just one movie, we get eight episodes to delve into the characters and worlds of Kevin Kwan’s brilliant books. Getting to work with the original creative team with the support and vision of HBO and Warner Bros. Television has been a dream. Our writers room is humming and we can’t wait to share what we’ve come up with.”
Discovery Channel’s new Ghost Adventures promo shows Zak Bagans is convinced he saw an apparition so lifelike it fooled him into thinking it was a staff member. Season 31, episode three – “Mansion of Unholiness” – will air on Wednesday, October 14, 2026 at 10pm ET/PT.
The new season premiered on September 30 and finds the paranormal team led by Zak heading to a Las Vegas warehouse, an abandoned Nevada mining town, and an Oregon home plagued by demonic activity.

Discovery Channel offers this synopsis: “A surge of frightening paranormal activity leads the Ghost Adventures team into the shadows of America’s past. Navigating abandoned frontier towns, centuries-old landmarks, and historic estates, paranormal investigators Zak Bagans, Aaron Goodwin, Jay Wasley, and Billy Tolley delve into their most harrowing investigations yet in pursuit of restless dark forces wreaking havoc on the living.
Harnessing advanced scientific technology and cutting-edge investigation tactics, the team documents compelling evidence of the paranormal and unlock new insights into the afterlife.
In the all-new episode ‘Mansion of Unholiness,’ airing on Wed, Oct 14, Zak Bagans and the crew gain access to a palatial California estate where spectral nuns roam its halls and a dark, oppressive energy terrorizes the staff. The team quickly discovers this is a haunting unlike any other they’ve encountered.”
Back in what seems like a hundred years ago (but was really only 2010), writer Aaron Sorkin (Being the Ricardos, Molly’s Game) and director David Fincher (Fight Club, Zodiac) dramatized the rise of Facebook with The Social Network. Well, of course, as we all know, the story didn’t end there, and Sorkin is now taking on a new chapter in the social media juggernaut’s history. Only this time, he’s manning the director’s chair as well with The Social Reckoning.
Taking place between 2019 and 2021, The Social Reckoning is about a young Facebook employee named Frances Haugen (Mikey Madison from Anora) who believes that she has stumbled onto some nefarious goings-on at the Social Media Empire. She teams up with a Wall Street Journal reporter named Jeff Horwitz (The Iron Claw’s Jeremy Allen White), and together they decide to expose the suspicious algorithms and dishonest fact-checking of what is likely the second most powerful tech company in the world.
No one writes dialogue quite like Aaron Sorkin. His dialogue makes his actors look good. This takes nothing away from Madison, White, and Jeremy Strong (Succession), who plays Mark Zuckerberg. They are all terrific. But Sorkin’s masterfully crafted screenplay is the star of The Social Reckoning. And his direction just makes the movie all the stronger. Whereas The Social Network was Fincher interpreting Sorkin, The Social Reckoning is all Sorkin.
That’s not saying that the dialogue is the only thing that Sorkin’s script has going for it, only that dialogue is Sorkin’s biggest strength. He also clearly knows his way around plot and narrative. The Social Reckoning unfolds a lot like a spy thriller, with Jeff and Frances helping each other uncover the subtle manipulation and overt misinformation that is guided by Facebook’s system of likes, comments, and shares. And that manipulation and misinformation leads users to dark and disturbing places on the platform. If even half of what Sorkin writes is true (and it is based on a true story), The Social Reckoning is a very eye-opening and distressing movie. Real James Bond stuff.
Ok, well, maybe not quite James Bond. But at least Sherlock Holmes. It’s more of a detective mystery than an action flick. The more Jeff and Frances dive into things, the deeper they get into the weeds that live between responsibility to the truth and free speech. And while it may not be too unpredictable or feature a tone of twists and turns, it’s still a shocking look at the state of technology in the modern world and how clicks and views are more important than integrity. It’s a dark movie.
The Social Reckoning is the rare combination of entertaining and meaningful, falling into the same general subgenre as Spotlight, The Post, and All the President’s Men. Sorkin definitely has strong opinions on the subject, and his movie both points fingers and assigns blame but also shows who was held accountable and what eventually became of things. It’s an important movie and one that anyone who has ever used social media should see.

Stuff You Should Know
Bridgerton fans have another series to wait impatiently to binge. Shondaland and Netflix are launching a new Bridgerton limited series spinoff that focuses on a young Lady Violet.
Lady Violet’s played by Ruth Gemmell in the original series and by Connie Jenkins-Greig in Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. Shondaland’s announcement didn’t indicate if Jenkins-Greig will continue the role in the untitled Violet spinoff.
Rhimes wrote Queen Charlotte based on an original idea. However, Bridgerton author Julia Quinn spilled the tea on Violet’s romance with Viscount Edmund Bridgerton in her 2013 short novella, Violet in Bloom.
The only description Netflix offered of the new limited series is brief: “Similar to the massive global hit Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, the series will chronicle the early life of a young Lady Violet and tell the story of her romance with Viscount Edmund Bridgerton.”
Shonda Rhimes and Nicholas Nardini serve as writers, showrunners, and executive producers. Tom Verica will direct and executive produce, and Betsy Beers is involved as an executive producer.

“FBI is a fast-paced drama about the inner workings of the New York office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This elite unit brings to bear all their talents, intellect, and technical expertise on major cases in order to keep New York and the country safe. Born into a multigenerational law enforcement family, Special Agent Maggie Bell commits deeply to the people she works with as well as those she protects.
Her partner is Special Agent Omar Adom ‘OA’ Zidan, a West Point graduate via Astoria who spent two years undercover for the DEA before being cherry-picked by the FBI. Also on the team are Special Agent Stuart Scola, an Ivy League-educated Wall Streeter-turned-FBI agent; and Special Agent Eva Ramos, a former prosecutor with a background tackling violent crime and narcotics cases.
Overseeing them are Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille, who operates under intense pressure and has undeniable command authority; as well as Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine, the nerve center of the office, whose ability to easily relate to and engage with both superiors and subordinates makes him a master motivator. These first-class agents tenaciously investigate cases of tremendous magnitude, including terrorism, organized crime, and counterintelligence.”
