NBC’s hit medial drama Brilliant Minds gives fans something to look forward to each Monday, but if you’re expecting a visit to Bronx General Hospital before bed tonight, you’re going to be disappointed…

Last week, Brilliant Minds Season 2, Episode 10, “The Resident,” showed Dr. Wolf (Zachary Quinto) treat a ballerina with a perplexing illness, and the team try to save their patient Sam (Nabil Rajo). Plus, the group got all dressed up for the hospital’s annual holiday gala, where the truth about Charlie (Brian Altemus) and his intentions were revealed. And, oh yeah! Wolf finally learned where his father Noah (Mandy Patinkin) was staying, and Van’s (Alex MacNicoll) girlfriend Michelle (Stacey Farber) got in a car accident!

The good news is Brilliant Minds fans got an eventful episode with some seriously compelling cliffhangers. The bad news? The December 1 episode also served as Brilliant Minds‘ midseason finale. So when will the series return with answers to our burning questions?
