"Frontline Part One" is the first episode of Season 4 of The Good Doctor. It is the fifty-seventh episode overall, and aired on November 2, 2020. It is the first part of a two-hour season premiere.
In part one of the two-part season premiere of ABC's "The Good Doctor," Dr. Shaun Murphy treats a patient with an illness that is not only unpredictable in nature, but also unlike anything he or the team at San Jose St. Bonaventure has ever seen before. As safety protocols and quarantines increase due to the global pandemic, Lea and Shaun's new rel...
February 26, 2020: 1 week before California declares State of Emergency\t
At a coffee shop in San Jose, California, a woman coughs shortly before handing the cashier her the money owed for her drink. She then deposits some of the leftover change into the tip jar and leaves.
Whereas Shawn is already awake and pouring himself some orange juice to start his day. There is a knock on the door and Shawn goes quickly to open it. Lea barges in and asks Shawn if he has seen her badge. She says that she had last night, but thinks that maybe it fell out of her bag when she paid for pizza. Shawn reminds her that this wouldn't be happening if she just stayed over. Lea however counter that by saying that even when they lived together, she still had an affinity for misplacing her things. While looking for her ID badge, Lea tells Shawn that it is simply too soon for her to move back in. She jokes that if she had stayed over the two of them would have not slept as much as they did apart. She eventually finds her badge in between two cushions of Shawn's sofa, and agrees to staying over on Saturday.
Elsewhere, Claire and Audrey are sitting on a bench as they continue to mourn Neil's death. Claire confides in Audrey by telling her that she hopes they don’t stop coming. Perplexed, Audrey asks why they would stop coming. Claire answers that it's usually how it works, people mourn for a while and then they forget. Audrey sighs and tells Claire that it's not forgetting, but rather people begin to move on. In that moment, Claire vows to never stop coming nor forgetting about Neil.
At San Jose St. Bonaventure Hospital, Morgan takes the temperature of the woman who had been at the coffee shop and the thermometer says that the woman's temperature is at 101 °F. When Morgan asks if she is presenting any other symptoms, the woman in a hoarse voice states that at first it was a sore throat, then her body started aching and now she has a really bad cough. The woman explains that she had her flu shot, and Morgan states that unfortunately influenza is always mutating, but she hopes that woman will recover fast. The woman then mentions how her daughter is worried she might have the coronavirus. Morgan in turn asks her if she has been to China, on a cruise or been in contact with someone who was in China. When the woman says she has not, Morgan tells her that having a sore throat is not one of the symptoms of the coronavirus. As a result, she sends the woman home and tells her that it is just a bad case of the flu. So she should go home and rest and drink plenty of fluids.
Two weeks later, the same woman is back in the hospital now in worse condition, and Dr. Lim tells the woman's daughter that the virus has damaged her mother’s lungs. Moreover, her blood oxygen levels continue to drop as her lungs work harder and harder to breathe.
