Doctor Odyssey Delivers Another Pregnancy Shocker
While nobody puts baby in a corner, if you’re Ryan Murphy, you’re putting at least two babies on a ship.
Shania Twain has returned to ABC‘s Doctor Odyssey as horny widow Heather, and just as we expected, she and Captain Massey get pretty cozy.
Only minutes into Episode 12, the pair share a hot-and-heavy moment during Cougar Week — respectfully rebranded “Sophisticated Ladies Week.” Though we don’t actually get to witness Captain Massey making Twain’s Heather feel like a woman, the seaman assures us the tryst was “fire,” as the kids say. (Aye, aye, Captain!)
And apparently that much heat doesn’t just deliver drama, intimacy and intrigue, it also harnesses the power to conceive a whole baby! Despite saying she’s in the throes of menopause, Heather tells Massey she has defied nature and is now a mommy-to-be. (See how the new pregnancy fits into our Fever Dream Theory.)
You might be asking, “But… how?” Avery, too, seems to share your skepticism, considering Heather’s age. The nurse triple-checks Heather for plenty of health conditions that could result in a false positive pregnancy test. But our horny widow is the pinnacle of health — her pregnancy is real!
How does Massey respond to the big reveal? Better than Max and Tristan did when confronted with news like this! The Captain immediately reassures Heather that they’re on this journey together. And later, when Heather experiences spotting and fears she has miscarried, Massey accompanies her to the infirmary. She ends up being fine, and Massey vows to use this opportunity to be a present father. (Does this mean he’ll soon be departing the Odyssey?!)
In terms of Avery’s own pregnancy, we don’t have any updates. The father is yet to be revealed, and both Tristan and Max are still fumbling around trying to prove they each have what it takes to be Daddy Dearest.

And I quote Max “I get it The Odyssey is Heaven”
The dream/death theories seem to possible
Hmm I think I’ll skip watching on Hulu tomorrow. This short recap was enough, lol.
Can the props department please locate a larger captain’s cap for Don Johnson? It looks like he’s wearing a child’s cap.
How is no one talking about the Wonder of Donna Mills? That woman is 84 years old and I swear, she looks incredible. Not a trace of plastic surgery gone wrong
Jaclyn Smith was also on this epidsode. She is 80 years old and also looks amazing!
Not sure how these are going to play out. I can’t exactly see babies on the ship but having a miscarriage seems awfully sad for this fluff type show.
I know this is a luxury experience, but is everything gold plated? I mean, this week the Covid test dropper was coated in gold. Shania Twain being pregnant is more believable than all the gold plated medical equipment.
Which is all the more reason that the “max is in a covid coma” theory makes sense.
First time trying the show. What a snoozefest, I made it through. It felt like a lifetime/Hallmark series that get more boring as time went on. At least Hallmark/lifetime has a quirky way of keeping you watching. This has nothing, not even flawed characters, just lazy. I could get more with a soap opera
It’s not you. I’ve fallen asleep during several episodes. Not sure why I still watch. I keep waiting for some big reveal, that may or may not happen in the season finale, to help make any sense of this show. The characters suck. The guests are worse. The plots are bad ridiculous. I’m still going with the theory that the whole show is the doc’s COVID fever dream. It’s the only thing that could redeem the show.
the leading ladies of 70 -80 tv
it was great to see knots landing star Donna Mills
jaclyn smith on doctor odyssey was great too
Jaclyn being on the show was the only reason I watched. No draw to continue to watch.
Tired of Avery stringing both along. Tristan is just too much. He’s a stuck-up 20 something year old following Avery like a lost puppy dog. Max hasn’t had much interaction with his team other than for work. The stupid thrupple ruined the dynamic of the 3 characters.
I 100% agree. I’ve got nothing against nothing, lifestyle or otherwise but this baby thing is just not good. I really don’t care who’s kid it is or that she’s even preggers for that matter. Every time the subject comes up I just zone out.
It’s a great show every week something always gets good love the show
I am sick of Avery and her ‘My body my choice’ attitude when all.Tristan or Max have done is ask her how she is, etc. She’s stringing both along. Make a permanent decision already. Time for Tristan to grow up and stop acting like a jealous folks whenever Avery so much as looks a Max. The throuple ruined the relationships.
No cause it’s a stupid silly dingbat ahow
These people need to clue into birth control. I can maybe believe a 50-something menopausal woman getting pregnant (although zero mention of all the related risks.) BUT 3 Healthcare professionals having a throuple w NO protection?!?! Ridiculous and they need to move this storyline along…
In the show where Avery’s friends came on board, she said that condoms had been used. Accidents happen I guess.
Or maybe Avery has one of the false-positive conditions that she triple checked Heather for, since she was reassuring her that they could happen at any age. Do we know how far along Avery is supposed to be?
Two condoms broke at the same time?
I love Doctor Odyssey can’t wait for new episodes. Very eager to know who will be Avery’s baby daddy.
I agree with some mean commenters that this is a ridiculous show, BUT I can’t stop watching! It amazes me how fast those 2 got Covid then got over it (how long was that cruise anyway!). Meanwhile, many weeks and many cruises have gone by, and Avery still can’t make up her mind. I noticed a side shot of Avery with her belly sticking out. She better hurry. Last but not least. Can a 59-year-old and a 75-year-old actually have and raise a baby who will eventually become the caregiver in their teen years? That story line is truly ridiculous. You are too old, face it. A miscarriage would be a blessing.
Surprise pregnancy is usually a trope used when a show is circling the drain and trying to add life (figuratively and literally), and here this show is pulling it twice in its first season. It’s so boring and dumb.
Liked the episode. Looking forward to next week.
Twain is 59 & Johnson is 75. This storyline is beyond stupid And yes, Donna Mills looks amazing.
Does anyone else find that Shania Twain looks very different? I didn’t recognize her here or the ads for the reality show she’s a judge on – show name escapes me as I don’t watch it.
What a ridiculous show. I never even made it through the pilot. Reading this article confirms my decision to bail early.
I think this story line has jumped the shark!
Are there any condoms on this ship? The threesome storyline is too stupid for the “professionals” not to use them.
I thought it was a stupid storyline. One pregnancy is enough
