Doctor Odyssey Dives Into Shark-Infested Waters With Adrianne Palicki — Grade the Midseason Premiere

Yahoo07-03-2025

We've got a new doctor on board The Odyssey — Adrianne Palicki's Dr. Brooke Lane aka 'Hot Shark Doctor' — and she's already threatening to tear our favorite TV throuple apart.
During Thursday's midseason premiere, our crew responds to Brooke's Mayday signal from a nearby vessel, The Flicka. It's taking on water, and two passengers have already been attacked by a shark. Max and Tristan embark on a rescue mission, leaving Avery behind to tend to their own crew member's bite.

Drs. Max and Brooke immediately butt heads during the dramatic rescue: He thinks they should clean the bites right away, while she advocates for getting out of the water as quickly as possible and assessing the injuries later. Dr. Max ultimately concedes, something we haven't seen him do a ton, so we're already wondering what kind of powers this Dr. Brooke might possess.
Later on, Dr. Brooke makes a pass at Max. He doesn't reject her advances, but he also doesn't play into them. It all looks bad, though, when Avery walks in on the pair: a towel-draped Brooke is gripping Max's upper thigh — the most suggestive part of the leg! Avery, meanwhile, still doesn't know the paternity of her child and has asked for space while she contemplates her future.
As far as shark emergencies go, Thursday's episode is all bark and no bite. The attacks are hardly shown! We wanted shark tooth extractions, a provoked attack by an obnoxious diver, or visuals of the attack itself, but all we get is one sinister fin skimming the water's surface, and a computer-generated Great White. (We do, however, get to see The Odyssey crew saw off a foot. That's something!)
The episode ends with the danger shifting from shark infestation to an overflow of Orca activity. As the powerful pod of black fish lay siege to the ship, the vessel faces a blackout that leaves our entire crew scrambling in the dark.

Brooke Shields' Podcast on Meghan Markle Was Deleted by King Charles' Goddaughter

Today in awkward news, Brooke Shields' recent podcast episode—where she had a lot to say about Meghan Markle—was surreptitiously deleted from the internet. And please be advised that this wasn't just any podcast. It was hosted by India Hicks, who happens to be the goddaughter of King Charles. I'll give you a moment. Per People, Brooke reflected on a SXSW panel she and Meghan did together back in March 2024, which was called "Breaking Barriers, Shaping Narratives: How Women Lead On and Off the Screen." Apparently, Meghan spoke about writing to Procter & Gamble at age 11 about gender equality—which Brooke found "serious" and "precious." "Katie asks the first question to Meghan and she talks about how at a young age, she was already advocating for women," Brooke said on the podcast. "She starts telling a story about how when she was 11–and she keeps saying, 'Well, when I was 11, I saw this commercial and they were talking about how washing dishes was for women. And she said, 'I didn't think only women wash dishes. It wasn't fair. So I wrote to the company.' She kept saying she was 11! She wrote to the company, they changed the text, they changed the commercial. It was just too precious, and I was like, they're not going to want to sit here for 45 minutes and listen to anybody be precious or serious." I like a totally normal and on-topic story for the event. But Brooke then recalled interrupting Meghan: "I go, 'Excuse me, I'm so sorry, I've got to interrupt you there for one minute.' I was trying not to be rude, but I wanted to be funny because it was so serious. I just want to give everybody here a context as to how we're different. When I was 11, I was playing a prostitute.'" She then claimed their talk became "more relaxed" as a result of the joke. Meanwhile, India doesn't appear to have explained why Brooke's episode was deleted, but People notes that a link to it leads to a "page not found" message.

The Other Side of Sicily You Should Explore This Summer

I'm somewhere atop Europe's only active volcano. Her name is Mount Etna, and she's a beauty: immense and fiery. In this part of eastern Sicily, the mountain is ubiquitous: not only can you see her for miles, there are rice balls, or arancini, in the shape of her. She's inspired more art than a pop star's torrid romance. There's even a deep red liquor, the locally made Fuoco del Vulcano, in honor of her strength. (Proceed with caution: it's 70 proof, and I looked like Willie E. Coyote swallowing dynamite when I took a sip.) More often than not throughout 2025, Mount Etna has been doing what she does best: blowing off steam and lava. And who hasn't done that from time to time? I have a few dirty martinis, Mount Etna erupts now and then. Same difference. I'm here in Sicily for the first time exploring the off-the-beaten path destinations on the trendy island. I'm a quarter Sicilian, so this actually is my Roman Empire. (The Greeks and Arabs ran this land throughout the years, too). I don't need to tell you about that certain HBO-turned-Max-turned-HBO Max series that has inspired a million excursions in the recent era. But on the eastern edge of the island, beyond the Gucci and gelato shop-lined streets of Taormina (where I'll eventually wind up), there's a bit more to the area than the bustling tourist meccas that have turned some Italian towns like this into places out of Epcot Center. On the contrary, while Mount Etna does indeed woo tourists (sometimes clueless ones, to the chagrin of local authorities), it's much less polished than other la dolce vita destinations. My ride up here was an offered excursion courtesy Donna Carmela, the laidback 18-suite boutique hotel I'm staying at tonight which is located roughly an hour from the heart of the volcano and somewhere halfway between the charmingly unpolished city of Catania and the aforementioned Taormina. It's family-run by the Faros, right down to the pictures of nonnas, uncles and kids on the wall in its spacious communal living room area. The Faro clan also runs a local floral park and winery, which is also on my schedule to visit. I refresh in my bungalow, which boasts a private patio and wading pool, pull my trusty sneakers out of my luggage and head out.
