Just as Amy\u2019s (Molly Parker<\/a>) beginning to regain memories she\u2019d lost in a car accident, she gets a blast from her past, with her mentor and friend, Joan (Felicity Huffman<\/a>), returning to the hospital \u2014 and in the final scene of the Tuesday, September 30, episode of\u00a0Doc<\/em>, she remembers a key dinner the two shared.<\/p>\n

At first, it seems like the time Amy\u2019s spending in a sensory deprivation tank isn\u2019t working, but soon after, she reunites with Joan and has a flash of the dinner and dessert. Another conversation between the two women results in Amy remembering Joan telling her she has no choice. When she asks Joan about it, the other doctor says they\u2019ve had a lot of dinners and there have been a lot of choices in the last eight years, so she\u2019ll think on it.<\/p>\n

That dinner was from five years earlier, one that Amy attended rather than join her then-husband Michael (Omar Metwally<\/a>) for a night out together. And when Michael had talked to Joan back then, he\u2019d asked her to mediate since he could barely get Amy to show up for couples counseling and his wife trusted and looked up to her. \u201cWe\u2019re not surviving this,\u201d he admitted. Joan told him she\u2019d do whatever she could.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s at the end of the episode, after Amy finds out that Joan\u2019s the new chief \u2014 more on that shortly \u2014 that she remembers the dinner and their conversation. Joan had seemed to advocate for couples counseling (not so much individual therapy), arguing it forced both parties to communicate. But Amy didn\u2019t think there was anything left to be said. And that was when Joan told her that Michael has always held her back and when she looked at him, she only saw the man she thought let her son die. What she had to do was hard but clear, and she had no choice: She had to leave him. (Clearly that had a major effect on Amy.)<\/p>\n

As for the chief job, Michael chooses Joan after she recommends he not hire anyone asking for it. He tells her he knows she doesn\u2019t like to be tied down. She thinks he\u2019s still trying to take care of Amy despite his new family. (Notably, when his wife Nora asks if he still loves her, he only tells her he loves her and isn\u2019t going anywhere and doesn\u2019t directly answer her question.) Michael then appeals to the side of Joan that goes where she\u2019s needed and asks for just a year. She, in turn, makes it three years, with no non-compete, complete autonomy in hiring, firing, and the budget, and no board reviews for a year. She also needs one day a week of guaranteed, dedicated OR time and<\/em> the ability to name her successor. She can\u2019t have the last one, but they shake after she asks for veto power.<\/p>\n
