A short recap of Watson Season 2 Episode 18 and the upcoming surgery disaster in Episode 19

In Watson Season 2 Episode 18, Watson decided to take a step back from his clinic to focus on his own health (his brain tumor) and he leaves Mary to take care of the clinic.

This does not go as smoothly as planned, especially with Ingrid sticking to facts about Watson’s health and his survival chances, as she believes his chances of coming out of this sickness alive are next to zero.

At the same time, Watson has now started searching for the right doctor, but he suddenly realizes that he is being watched by someone. This leads us to Miguel Alvardo and a powerful political dictator named Rodrigo Freitas, who is forcing Watson into taking his case.

Things also get a lot darker when Ingrid finds out that Freitas is being poisoned through a hand moisturizer. Watson then later figures out that all of this is Alvardo’s doing. It is also revealed that Freitas is dealing with lung cancer. On top of that, Episode 18 also has Ingrid taking a drastic step when she kills Beck to protect Sasha.

Now with Episode 19, the official synopsis reads:

“As Adam’s wife goes in for a C-section to deliver triplets, chaos ensues when their OB-GYN passes out in the operating room; a severe storm detours Watson and Mary’s trip to find a renowned doctor to remove Watson’s brain tumor.”


Watson Season 2 Episode 19 will be looking at a failed surgery setup and a storm blocking Watson’s path. Watson’s condition is already at stake, and April 26 cannot come any sooner.
