In "Letting Go," Shaun rather brashly accuses Dr. Paul Nakano of making a mistake with his behavior getting to the point that Nakano claims that in Andrews' position, he would've fired Shaun.

Shauns attire of (not his) choice requires a cummerbund that he finds incredibly restrictive and uncomfortable, and Lea realizes last minute that theyve been hiding the truth from each other that they dont actually want to go through with a big TV wedding, theyd rather celebrate their special day in a way that both are comfortable and happy with. Shaun is of course extremely worried and wants to participate in the surgery, quoting that hospital policy would technically allow him to since he and Lea are not married.

He invites a doula to their home to discuss the details of their birthing arrangements and he also wants to help make the world better for women who are still disadvantaged in some aspects.
