St. Denis Medical Season 2 Episode 7: Release Date, Time, Streaming Details and Joyce’s Past Drama

The team at Oregon’s most chaotic hospital is back for another shift. St. Denis Medical Season 2, Episode 7 is almost here, bringing with it a mix of personal drama and professional comedy. Titled “No Wonder His Kidney Wants Out”, the new episode focuses on the staff’s differing reactions to a complicated patient and dives into the personal history of a key character. The show’s signature mockumentary style continues to capture the madness of an underfunded, understaffed hospital where the doctors and nurses just try their best to get through the day.

This upcoming installment arrives as part of the show’s second season, which has been airing new episodes weekly on NBC since November 3, 2025. The series, created by Justin Spitzer and Eric Ledgin, features an ensemble cast led by Wendi McLendon-Covey as the hospital’s ambitious administrator, Joyce.

Where and When to Watch Episode 7

Mark your calendars for Monday, December 8, 2025. St. Denis Medical Season 2 Episode 7 will air on NBC at 8:00 PM Eastern Time and 7:00 PM Central Time (8/7c).

This weekly Monday night slot has been the home for the show’s second season. For viewers who cannot catch the live broadcast, the episode will be available for streaming on Peacock the very next day. This follows the standard pattern for the series, where new episodes are added to the Peacock library shortly after their network premiere.

What to Expect in “No Wonder His Kidney Wants Out”

The official synopsis for the episode promises multiple storylines involving the hospital’s quirky staff. Ron (David Alan Grier) and Alex (Allison Tolman) will find themselves at odds over how to handle a patient described as “seemingly selfless”. Their conflicting reactions are sure to spark the kind of workplace tension the show handles with humor.

Meanwhile, Joyce (Wendi McLendon-Covey) is set for a personal surprise when she runs into an old flame. This encounter is expected to bring more of Joyce’s backstory to the forefront, adding a layer of character development to the episode’s comedy. In other plots, Matt (Mekki Leeper) takes on the task of helping Bruce (Josh Lawson) find a new best friend.

The episode will also feature guest stars, including David Hornsby, Paul Scheer, and Al Madrigal. It carries a TV-14 rating.

A Quick Look Back at Episode 6

The previous episode, “I Left a Woman on the Table”, set the stage for some of the ongoing character arcs. That episode focused heavily on the staff dealing with a busy shift and their own personal histories. Joyce took on extra duties to cover a nursing shortage, while Bruce attempted to reconnect with a former romantic interest. Matt also grappled with a challenging patient connected to his own past. Episode 7 will continue exploring these character-driven stories within the hectic environment of St. Denis Medical.

How the Show is Performing and Where to Watch Past Episodes

The comedy has seen encouraging viewership in its second season. Reports indicate the show’s ratings among viewers aged 18-49 are actually up compared to its first season. For those looking to catch up, the entire first season and all available episodes of Season 2 can be streamed on Peacock.
