In the previous episode of The Good Doctor Season 6, Shawn discovered permanent damage to his brain from chemo, and Lim advised him not to perform surgeries anymore. In Monday's episode, Dr. Glassman faced the reality of his own medical condition. Despite his wishful thinking that his surgical skills remained intact after a stroke, he couldn't ignore the truth any longer.
During a high-risk surgery that lasted seven hours, Dr. Glassman couldn't recall the next step of the procedure when prompted by Shaun and Dr. Lim. In humiliation, he left the operating room, possibly for the last time. Dr. Glassman disagreed with Lim's decision and threatened to sue the hospital, insisting that he should be allowed to continue performing surgeries.
In the latest episode of The Good Doctor, tensions were high between Shawn and Glassman. Shawn continued to shadow Glassman and pointed out minor mistakes. This caused Glassman to demand that Shawn be removed from their latest case, feeling that he didn't need his son watching over his every move. Lim obliged Glassman's request. However, Shawn attended an overview and blurted out that Glassman hesitated at a key moment, demanding answers. This led to an argument between Glassman and Lim, and Glassman threatened to sue the hospital.

Although the writers were going for a moving story about Glassman realizing he could no longer do the things he used to do, it didn't quite work. Glassman seemed competent until the last second, and Shaun came across as obsessed with proving Glassman's brain wasn't functioning well. The biggest mistake Glassman made was not removing Shaun from the observation deck earlier so that Shaun couldn't distract him. Glassman's takeaway from this shouldn't have been that he should stop operating, but that his instinct to remove Shaun from the room was correct.
Glassman had lost interest in surgeries long ago and was happily working in his clinic. If people had left him alone, he wouldn't have been in the OR doing complicated surgeries again, and this issue would never have come up. Glassman was angry that Shaun was right but humiliated him. He should have been furious that Shaun undermined him and made it appear he was incompetent when he wasn't.
Shaun is attempting to reconcile with Glassman, which brings us back to where the season began when Glassman was angry with Shaun for not listening to him about Lim's surgery. Unfortunately, this season has had more episodes with Glassman giving Shaun the silent treatment than not. The parallels between Shaun's patient and Glassman's situation were not fully explored. The patient had a brain tumor that changed his personality for the better, and he refused to undergo surgery, which Shaun believed was necessary. Glassman didn't think he could do anything to change the patient's mind and initially recommended a shorter life expectancy. This story could have helped Shaun understand why he needed to leave Glassman alone.

This story was accompanied by a sad tale about a terminally ill child and a father who couldn't let go. Andrews called Sebastian selfish, which was accurate, but harsh for a grieving father. The Morgan baby story was predictable but cute. Morgan struggled to bond with the baby due to her constant crying, but she found ways to connect with her despite the difficulty. Park was at his best when sharing stories about his experiences as a new parent, and he and Morgan's relationship became more enjoyable when they stopped bickering. To all The Good Doctor enthusiasts out there, did anyone else find the Glassman arc irritating and unrealistic?
