Spoilers ahead of the sixth season premiere of the resident“Two hearts.”
Season 6 of Fox’s medical drama the resident is here, and the first episode revealed Conrad’s revolutionary decision regarding his love life. The intern chose between Cade and Billie, and although it looked like he picked Billie for their closeness, the end of the episode confirmed that Conrad left with Cade. Showrunner and co-creator Amy Holden-Jones now explains how the love triangle will get even more complicated this season.
Since Nic’s death at the start of season five, one of the resident it was if Conrad will find love again. While co-showrunner Andrew Chapman premiered Conrad following his heart in season six, Amy Holden-Jones told TV Line why Conrad chose Cade over Billie, and it makes sense:
AJ’s theory as to why Conrad chose Cade may be correct. [Billie] she was Nic’s best friend, which is complicated, and it’s true that Conrad didn’t know it wasn’t a handicap for her. Both women are viable options. And this may still be true.
Unsurprisingly, Conrad chose Cade, as Billie and Nic were close and Nic’s death was just as hard on her. Before Cade’s introduction, she looked like the resident he was preparing the unexpected love story between Conrad and Billie. But when Cade entered the scene, things changed. Billie still has feelings for Conrad, so it should be interesting to see how she tries to push him away and become friends with him.
Meanwhile, just because Cade turns out to be Conrad’s choice doesn’t mean there won’t be any problems. Amy Holden-Jones anticipates what Episode 2 will entail and let’s see how Conrad’s decision turned out:
You have to watch to see how this complex chess game of relationships plays out. But first, we need to examine the ramifications of Conrad’s choice. Episode 2 is crucial to understanding the chemistry between Conrad and Cade.
Kaley Ronayne, who plays Cade, has been promoted to a series regular for a sixth season, as has her on-screen dad, Andrew McCarthy. While it’s unclear what these offshoots are, it’s possible they have something to do with Cade’s father, Dr. Ian Sullivan, who is now a physician at Chastain. The two don’t have the best relationship, with Ian only reappearing after his daughter is killed. Or the problems might have something to do with Billie, since it’s clear she still loves Conrad and he might still have feelings for her.
Obviously, any relationship will have problems and we don’t even know if Conrad and Cade will last. Still, Conrad looks happy and definitely deserves to find someone after Nic. Seeing how their relationship continues will be something to look forward to, especially if the resident The sixth season is the last.
