Bronx Hospital has been buzzing about the new glow in Dr. Wolf. While the audience has seen the relationship between Dr. Wolf and Dr. Nichols blossom, none of his colleagues know the news yet.
At the end of Brilliant Minds Season 1 Episode 8, the two men discussed their relationship and decided to try it for real, despite warnings from Oliver’s mom.
As you’ll see in this clip exclusive to TV Fanatic, Dr. Wolf tells Dr. Carol Pierce that he’s dating Dr. Nichols. This is a massive step for him because he’s always avoided serious relationships previously.
This is a big deal because Carol has known Wolf since college and is aware of his dating life or lack thereof.
Brilliant Minds Season 1 Episode 10 looks drama-filled for Wolf and Carol. It seems that Wolf and Nichols grew even closer when Nichols returned from his conference.
In the exclusive sneak peek below, we get our first taste of Carol’s reaction to her best friend having his first serious relationship.
As you’ll see, Wolf is shocked by her reaction. Carol’s drama must be getting to her.
Wolf and Nichols’s relationship has been an essential part of the series. Even when rivals, they had a grudging respect for one another. In time, that grew into friendship and then more.
They’ve both been scared to jump into anything serious, Wolf especially. Carol has told him for years that he should lower his walls to allow someone to see him.
After he complained about Nichols, she was bound to be surprised by this turnaround.
In his exclusive interview with TV Fanatic, Teddy Sears teased that “there is attraction, attention, and deep respect, a firm foundation for something substantial, not just fleeting. We’re going to explore that going forward.”
He also teased that their relationship will be tested later this season when they disagree on how to treat an ailing patient, but they will learn to work together.
As Wolf and Nichols grow closer, Carol’s marriage falls further apart, which is probably why she doesn’t want to comment on other people’s relationships.
After Brilliant Minds Season 1 Episode 9‘s cliffhanger and Carol finding her car vandalized, it makes sense why she’s on edge.
Typically, Carol thrives on giving advice, but psychiatrists often have difficulty taking their own advice. She counseled her husband’s mistress and now questions Morris’s loyalty.
With only a few episodes left of Brilliant Minds Season 1, will the series have the two reconcile or separate them so that Carol is fierce and single in a potential second season?
Outside of that, the team treats an unexpected patient who crashes into Bronx General with life-threatening symptoms.
Most of these cases always affect one of the doctors, and this one affects a first responder and a child, so it’ll be interesting to see who it affects.
Only a few doctors have children, and we’d love to see more development on that other dangling cliffhanger thread.
Brilliant Minds has excelled at featuring both unique cases and crafting genuine chemistry among the relationships.
Check out the clip above, and share your predictions about how Wolf and Nichols’s relationship will evolve now that it is public.
