Lim explores a relationship with Dr. Mateo on ‘The Good Doctor’
Lim opens her heart again after meeting Dr. Mateo. At first, she wasn’t really looking to start a relationship. However, she became interested in Mateo over time. After their night of passion, things began to change between them.
During The Good Doctor Season 4 Episode 20 (titled “Vamos”), Mateo says he thought their relationship was just going to be a fling. However, Lim keeps asking questions about his personal life. She wants to get to know him. Instead, he asks about her and what she’s hiding. He asked her why she feels compelled to go running early in the morning and why she has so many alarms going off. Initially, she ignored him when he inquired about her habits, but she decides to share what she has experienced.
Lim tells Mateo about her PTSD diagnosis. She also talks about losing Melendez (Nicholas Gonzalez) and how hard it was to cope after losing so many patients to COVID-19. Mateo was hesitant to answer Lim’s questions because he didn’t want to get too involved. However, his hesitance to be vulnerable with Lim eventually melts away. He tells her about his brush with the law and how he chose to remain in Guatemala. He was arrested for marijuana possession years ago, and he argued with the police officers.
“I argued with them, and it got physical,” says Mateo. “When my court date came around, I skipped. And now there’s an active warrant for me in the states. That’s why I haven’t been back.”
