Towards the tail end of Episode 8, titled "Sorry, Not Sorry," Dr. Shaun Murphy is given the advice to go and attempt to smooth things over with Dr. Audrey Lim. Taking this suggestion to heart, Murphy goes to talk with Lim in her office, and he begins a heartfelt apology that sees him tearing up and struggling to express his thoughts and feelings. At first, Lim appears tense, but as Murphy continues to explain himself and his processes in saving her life, she herself begins to tear up. Murphy then adds that he has missed Lim, and misses their friendship, which causes Lim to admit that the schism between the two has been rough on her as well. Lim continues and says that even though she is happy now, there are still moments of anger at how events have come to pass, but she has also missed Murphy being in her life. It was at this moment that fans also experienced some potent emotions, and wasted no time in taking the conversation to social media.
