Trivia[]

Glassman reveals that his doctors had found the returned cancer on his yearly scan and gave him three to six months to live.
- Given the timing, Glassman's yearly scans were presumably what he was waiting for the results of in "Faith."
Claire's collapse is revealed to be because of an acinetobacter post-op infection, something that is resistant to all antibiotics. Claire loses her left arm to the infection, but she is saved by an experimental bacteriophage treatment devised by Shaun and Charlie.
Shaun mentions the time that he and Glassman got high together in "Faces."
The series ends with a flashforward ten years, revealing the fates of all of the characters.
- Glassman dies of brain cancer.
- Lim chooses to leave the hospital to help in Ukraine, having earlier considered a position at the hospital in Chicago where Clay Porter is now working.
- Shaun eventually becomes Chief of Surgery at the hospital and opens the Dr. Aaron Glassman Foundation for Neurodiversity in Medicine which he runs with Claire. Shaun and Lea have a daughter together as well as Steve.
- Claire marries Jared, and they have a daughter together.
- Park and Morgan officially adopt Eden and are still together ten years later.
- Jordan reunites with Danny Perez, eventually marrying him.
- Jerome Martel is shown to have moved on from the loss of Asher, eventually marrying someone else.
- Charlie becomes an attending at St. Bonaventure.
- Dom opens his own clinic and loses his squeamishness.
Other than Claire, this is the first and only episode in which Shaun and the others did not have patients of their own.
