The doctors and nurses of television’s most underfunded hospital are returning with a new episode. St. Denis Medical Season 2 Episode 5, titled “A Strong Cup of Coffee,” is scheduled to arrive on Monday, November 24, 2025. The episode will continue the blend of workplace comedy and hospital drama, picking up the storylines from the previous week’s events.
When and Where to Watch
The new episode will follow the show’s regular weekly schedule. It airs on Monday, November 24, 2025, at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on NBC.
For viewers who prefer streaming, “A Strong Cup of Coffee” will be available on Peacock the day after its broadcast. Episodes typically appear on the streaming service by Tuesday morning. Subscribers to live TV services like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and FuboTV can also watch the episode as it airs on their local NBC channel.
What to Expect in the New Episode
The upcoming episode will deal with the consequences of the events in Episode 4, “Two Docs, One Conf.” That episode focused heavily on the rivalry between Dr. Bruce and Dr. Ron during a conference trip, and the tension between them is expected to spill over into their work in the emergency room and on patient rounds.
Meanwhile, Dr. Alex is navigating her new confidence after receiving an award and public praise. Her changed attitude is shifting how she interacts with her peers and the hospital management. Joyce, the hospital administrator, is also trying to find her footing after a failed project during Nurse Appreciation Week left her separated from the nursing staff. She will be looking for practical ways to regain their trust and address their real concerns.
The show’s writers continue to balance serious medical situations with the everyday silliness of hospital life. Fans can expect urgent patient cases that test the doctors’ skills alongside personal scenes that show character growth.
