Series History
Season 2
Dr. Doespring appears in S02E20 "Aftermath" when Pawbert wakes in the hospital following surgery to remove the bullet from his shoulder. The injury was sustained during the Weather Wall Siege when Clawrence shot him on live television after Pawbert refused to help his uncle seize control of the weather wall system.
Doespring enters the recovery room to check Pawbert's vitals and deliver her assessment. She informs him that the surgery went well, with the bullet removed cleanly and no fragmentation or major arterial damage. When Pawbert asks about recovery time, she explains that full mobility will take six to eight weeks with consistent physical therapy, though basic tasks should be manageable within two weeks.
Observing the three mammals surrounding Pawbert's bed, including Luther who clearly hasn't left his side, Doespring confirms that Pawbert can be discharged that day provided he has mammals to help with daily tasks. Luther and Nick immediately confirm that they have him covered.
