Is a new episode of Brilliant Minds on tonight (November 11, 2024)? 

Yes, there is a new episode of Brilliant Minds airing on NBC on November 11, 2024, at 10/9c. Titled "The Man From Grozny," the episode will follow Dr. Wolf and his team as they perform their most experimental treatment yet: a brain-computer interface implantation in their John Doe patient’s brain.

The episode will finally delve into the mystery of Bronx General Hospital's resident John Doe. For several weeks now, we've slowly learned more and more about our John Doe, with a recent episode revealing that he speaks Russian and that he might not be in a coma as we originally thought. 

In fact, our John Doe is suffering from Locked-In Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that causes nearly total paralysis of the body, except for the muscles that control eye movement and blinking. By way of his Mirror-Touch Synesthesia, Dr. Van Markus (Alex MacNicoll) was able to discover this and work with a Russian-speaking woman who was visiting a loved one at the hospital. Together, Van, their Russian translator, and the rest of the intern team — with the guiding influence of Dr. Oliver Wolf (Zachary Quinto) — were able to successfully communicate with their John Doe patient for the first time.

Dr. Oliver Wolf (Zachary Quinto) looks at Roman (John Doe) (Alex Ozerov-Meyer) in a hospital bed in Brilliant Minds Episode 107.

And now, we're finally going to get some answers to this episodes-long mystery.

In Episode 6, "The Girl Who Cried Pregnant," Dr. Wolf and his colleague and longtime friend Dr. Carol Pierce (Tamberla Perry) approached Dr. Simon Gadson (Brendan Hines) to get their John Doe into an experimental trial for something called a Neurolink. After some back and forth — with Gadson originally not wanting to work with Wolf because of his penchant for shirking the rules — Carol managed to convince him. Now, in Episode 7, we'll see how the results pan out. 

Will Dr. Josh Nichols' (Teddy Sears) implantation surgery be successful? Will we learn more about our John Doe's backstory? And what about all that inter-hospital romantic drama? 

Catch 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.
