Wolf and his team of interns guided her through extensive physical therapy to get her back on her feet.
The second episode also introduced one of Oliver’s next patients John Doe, an ICU patient who arrived at the hospital without any medical history and no explanation for his condition.
On top of finding out the causes behind his patient’s problems, he and his mom (portrayed by Donna Murphy), who also happens to be his boss, are starting to butt heads.
Zachary Quinto: Brilliant Minds is "rooted in truth"
Zachary Quinto’s character is based on the real-life medical wonder, Oliver Sacks. He was known for making extensive strides in the health industry by using his out-of-the-box techniques.
The Emmy-nominated actor is tasked with capturing the late doctor’s personality, embodying his prosopagnosia, and accurately portraying the research and examinations from cases that Oliver worked on while giving them a fresh twist.

“We’re telling these stories in a modern world, in the modern day, Quinto told NBC News. “And we’re really imagining what it might have been like had Oliver Sacks been born a generation later.”
“It’s really rooted in the truth,” Zachary continues, adding, “and that’s something that I find really unique.”
Watch new episodes of Brilliant Minds when they premiere on Mondays on NBC at 10/9c. Episodes are available to stream on Peacock the next day.
