JOAN RETURNS TO WESTSIDE AS A PATIENT

FOX’s Doc is headed towards an explosive double-episode finale on Tuesday, April 14, at 8:00 p.m. ET. (Don’t worry; the show has already been renewed for Season 3!)

Leading up to that grand finale is “Big Chair” airing on Tuesday, April 7 at 9 PM.

The hour follows Michael’s first day as Chief of Internal Medicine. However the day is anything but straightforward, and features Joan arriving at the hospital as a patient in dire straits.

Amy, determined to save her, clashes repeatedly with Richard over Joan’s treatment plan. Meanwhile, Gina makes a nearly impossible medical decision for a young patient and Liz fights for her allegations against Richard to be taken seriously.

First look photos from “Big Chair” follow below.
