In The Good Doctor Season 7 finale, Dr. Aaron Glassman (Richard Schiff) reveals to Shaun and Lea (Paige Spara) that his cancer is back and that he has only a few months left. Predictably, Shaun refuses to accept this and sets up a team to search for a solution, even though Glassman doesn’t want it. As he devotes himself to treating the only mentor and father figure in his life, he has little time to spare for Claire (Antonia Thomas), who has been diagnosed with acinetobacter, an antibiotic-resistant infection.

Shaun and Charlie (Kayla Cromer) had come up with the idea of using an experimental bacteriophage treatment, however, it was rejected by the FDA.

Ten years later, Claire is in a relationship with Jared Kalu (Chuku Modu), and they have a daughter together.
