While nobody puts baby in a corner, if you’re Ryan Murphy, you’re putting at least two babies on a ship.
Shania Twain has returned to ABC‘s Doctor Odyssey as horny widow Heather, and just as we expected, she and Captain Massey get pretty cozy.
Only minutes into Episode 12, the pair share a hot-and-heavy moment during Cougar Week — respectfully rebranded “Sophisticated Ladies Week.” Though we don’t actually get to witness Captain Massey making Twain’s Heather feel like a woman, the seaman assures us the tryst was “fire,” as the kids say. (Aye, Aye, Captain!)
And apparently that much heat doesn’t just deliver drama, intimacy and intrigue, it also harnesses the power to conceive a whole baby! Despite saying she’s in the throes of menopause, Heather tells Massey she has defied nature and is now a mommy-to-be.
You might be asking, “But… how?” Avery, too, seems to share your skepticism, considering Heather’s age. The nurse triple-checks Heather for plenty of health conditions that could result in a false positive pregnancy test. But our horny widow is the pinnacle of health — her pregnancy is real!
How does Massey respond to the big reveal? Better than Max and Tristan did when confronted with news like this! The Captain immediately reassures Heather that they’re on this journey together. And later, when Heather experiences spotting and fears she has miscarried, Massey accompanies her to the infirmary. She ends up being fine, and Massey vows to use this opportunity to be a present father. (Does this mean he’ll soon be departing the Odyssey?!)
In terms of Avery’s own pregnancy, we don’t have any updates. The father is yet to be revealed, and both Tristan and Max are still fumbling around trying to prove they each have what it takes to be Daddy Dearest.
