Brilliant Minds season 2: EP on Noah’s request, medical mystery
We cannot quite say that we were surprised that Brilliant Minds season 1 ended with an enormous tease for what lies ahead. After all, not only is Mandy Patinkin on board the show, but he is playing the part of Oliver’s father Noah! Add to this the reveal that he has actually been alive all this time, and in the closing minutes of the finale, he revealed to his son that he’s sick. One of the primary reasons for his resurgence may be because Oliver is the only person who can treat him.
As you would imagine, the idea of all this does introduce a lot of complications for Dr. Wolf, both personally and professionally. There is certainly a lot that needs to be unpacked here. Yet, at the same time, it seems as though Zachary Quinto’s character may be up for the challenge.

Speaking in a new interview with TVLine, executive producer Michael Grassi had the following to say about the end of the season, and also how the relationship between Oliver and Noah could press onward:
I really think that Wolf, in a weird way, is going to be challenged with his greatest medical mystery yet and potentially his most challenging patient. We haven’t seen what these two are like in present-day together, and there is a lot that they need to work out. So, I feel like we are putting them in an interesting situation. Also, remember: Noah Wolf is also a doctor, the same way Oliver Sacks’ parents were both doctors… So, what does it look like if Dr. Noah Wolf is actually working at Bronx General as a family [general practitioner] and we’re putting them in this work environment together at the same time he’s also a patient of Wolf’s?
There’s going to be a lot to unpack emotionally but also [an] exciting medical mystery and this two-hander, odd couple dynamic between Wolf and his dad, who might even be moving in with Wolf. [Laughs]
Now, let’s just cross our fingers and hope that the renewal happens so there is a chance for all this to play out…
