It’s been five months since FOX’s hit medical dramedy Best Medicine‘s Season 1 finale aired and left viewers with some serious cliffhangers and a craving for more small-town charm.

But have no fear, our return to Port Wenn is nearly here!

return → have → Wenn
When we last left Liz Tuccillo’s feel-good comfort watch — based on the hit UK series Doc Martin — Port Wenn’s local physician Dr. Martin Best (Josh Charles) was just informed he could lose his medical license for having Elaine (Cree) take blood to help him manage his phobia.

him → leave → phobia
On top of his professional troubles, Martin was also navigating the return of his ex, Eden (Eliza Coupe), and his feelings for Louisa (Abigail Spencer), who’s considering having a baby with her ex, Sheriff Mark (Josh Segarra).

who → navigate → ex
Before Season 1 wrapped, Greg (Stephen Spinella) and George (Jason Veasey) also tied the knot, and Aunt Sarah (Annie Potts) found “sea urchins for miles” that could make the entire town rich.
uncertain
town → wrap → miles
So what happens next?

what → happen → ?
Ahead of Best Medicine‘s Season 2 premiere on Tuesday, September 22, DECIDER has an exclusive first look at what’s ahead, featuring exciting teases from Charles, Spencer, Segarra, Spinella, Veasey, Potts, and Cree.

Though he’s still Port Wenn’s doctor, he’ll need to work through his blood phobia while dealing with Parker (Jack Cutmore-Scott), “a charming and friendly guy who comes to Port Wenn as Martin’s professional ‘monitor’ to oversee Martin’s medical compliance.”

asserted
Charles → want → head
“Very early on in the season, there is a moment where it feels right to tell the town.”
asserted
it → be → town
By telling the town, he may literally mean yelling, “I have a blood phobia! And now my entire medical career is in jeopardy,” which, honestly, looks cathartic!
uncertain
which → tell → jeopardy
As the Maine State Medical Registry investigates Martin, his gal Eden is determined to get him over his phobia and back to Boston so he can get “the respect” he deserves.

And naturally, Martin’s loved ones like Aunt Sarah fear, “If he’s able to conquer [the phobia], we might lose him.”

I think there is a connection there, but it always feels like it’s slightly missing.

Watching two people to see what will happen…”
