Then the following week, the Bob Hearts Abishola Season 2, Episode 13, “A Big African Bassoon,” runs on December 27. It is the last episode of the show to air in 2021. The episode sees Abishola taking on more tasks at the hospital, leaving Douglas (Matt Jones) and Christina (Maribeth Monroe) to care for their mom.

“When Gloria goes on vacation,” the press release said. “Abishola takes charge of the nursing staff but quickly falls short as the job requires ‘people skills.’ Also, with Abishola extra busy at the hospital, the Wheelers try to cope with her temporary absence.”
