Best Medicine Season 2 Episode 3, titled Crate Expectations, aired on FOX on October 6. The latest episode of the platform's medical sitcom featured Port Wenn's annual lobster crate race, where the residents ran across floating lobster crates before falling into the water. Sarah was the undefeated champion, who set the 31-crate record when she was 15.

According to Filmi Feed, Best Medicine Season 2 Episode 3 was especially hard for Dr. Martin. The lobster crate race carried an unpleasant childhood memory for him. Martin was not excited about the event, as it was nightmarish when he was a child. During one race, Martin barely crossed the crates and made a fool of himself in front of the whole town. However, an unusual medical emergency forced Martin to face his fears.

Here is the complete recap.

Best Medicine Season 2 Episode 3 recap: Sarah has a change of heart

Best Medicine Season 2 Episode 3 revealed that Sarah has been the undefeated champion of the lobster crate race since age 15, when she set a 31-crate record. Things took a turn when Peter asked Sarah to train him for the race. Peter confessed that the kids constantly bully him, and winning the annual race would give him a reason to get back at them. Peter's innocent request exposed Sarah's secret.

It turns out nobody could break Sarah's 31-crate record because she tampered with the 30th crate each year. Sarah had been sabotaging the 30th crate every year, but she changed her mind in Best Medicine Season 2 Episode 3 for Peter. In a heartfelt moment, Sarah fixed the 30th crate. While Peter came in second place, Sarah's gesture showed she was capable of accepting change.

Best Medicine Season 2 Episode 3 saw an unusual medical emergency for Martin

Best Medicine Season 2 Episode 3 saw an unusual medical emergency for Martin. Martin forced all Port Wenn residents to take a medical exam before the race, which resulted in three positive pregnancy tests in three men. Martin was concerned, as a positive pregnancy test in men indicates increased levels of the hormone hCG, which could also mean testicular cancer.

After the men refused to give new urine samples, Martin ordered serum hCG testing, which revealed that they did not have cancer. It turns out that the men were afraid that their urine tests would expose their recreational drug use, which is why their boss, Glendon, offered his urine sample instead. Since Glendon's urine sample showed a risk of testicular cancer, Martin advised him to get it checked at Bar Harbor, which he ignored.

Martin faced his fears in Best Medicine Season 2 Episode 3

On the day of the lobster crate race, Martin decided to face his fears and challenged Glendon in the competition. Since Glendon was aware of Martin's history with the race, he agreed, thinking Martin would make a fool of himself. But for Martin, the moment turned into an unusual victory as he not only faced his childhood fear but used it for a good deed.

The challenge, which embarrassed Martin as a boy, gave him a way to help a stubborn patient.

In the final moments of Best Medicine Season 2 Episode 3, Glendon finally got tested at Bar Harbor, and it was revealed that Martin's concern was right. Glendon was diagnosed with Stage 1 cancer, and the doctor considered him fortunate that it was detected early. While Glendon did not acknowledge Martin's efforts, the episode concluded with a quiet victory for the doctor, who not only overcame his childhood fear but also helped a patient in need.
