Doctor Odyssey Episode 17 Leans Into Max's Purgatory Theory For The Perfect Series Finale (Assuming ABC Cancels It)

Doctor Odysseyepisode 17, "The Wave", leans heavily into the fan-favorite purgatory theory, setting the stage for a series finale that could double as the perfect ending, if ABC decides not to renew the show. The penultimate episode traps Max in a surreal, looping version of the hospital that feels more spiritual than surgical. It's a bold narrative swing that feels intentional, especially for a show that's always danced on the edge of reality.
