Doc<\/em><\/a> is giving Amy (Molly Parker<\/a>) a blast from her past she can\u2019t quite fully remember in Season 2, with the introduction of Felicity Huffman<\/a> as Joan, her mentor who\u2019s coming in as the hospital\u2019s new chief beginning with the second episode<\/a>, airing on September 30.<\/p>\n Due to the car accident that took eight years of memories from her, there are aspects about Joan and their past that Amy can\u2019t remember. However, as the premiere (which aired on September 14 and reruns on September 23) shows, she\u2019s starting to have memory flashes. And Joan comes in with her own history and baggage.<\/p>\n \u201cJoan has a secret that\u2019s about [herself]. We will get to know what that is in Episode 3 and be wondering when Amy will remember or figure it out,\u201d executive producer Barbie Kligman<\/a> tells TV Insider. She says that is like the Dixon storyline of Season 1 \u2014 Richard (Scott Wolf<\/a>) hid the events that led to a patient\u2019s death from Amy after she couldn\u2019t remember she\u2019d been looking into it \u2014 in terms of it playing out \u201cmore long term.\u201d<\/p>\n A second storyline involving Joan involves her \u201cpart in a big decision Amy made,\u201d Kligman previews. \u201cThat we learn about in [Episode] 2 when we introduce Joan. We get the introduction to Joan, we see Michael [Omar Metwally<\/a>] sort of realize that\u2019s who he should hire for chief, and he does. And at the same time, we get to see some flashbacks of Amy and Michael right before the end, and Michael and Joan, and Amy and Joan. So it\u2019s really nice, the way it all ties together and gives you some insight because it\u2019s hard to tell what Joan\u2019s intentions are in the world, and you sort of leave people guessing.\u201d<\/p>\n So can Joan be trusted? That\u2019s certainly in question. However, the EP adds, \u201cJoan loves Amy. Joan was Amy\u2019s mentor. Joan has always believed in Amy. But Joan is also human with her own issues.\u201d<\/p>\n What are your theories about Joan\u2019s secret and Amy\u2019s decision? Let us know in the comments section below.<\/p>\n
