Doogie Kamealoha MD season 2 plot

The first season introduced us to Lahela, her family, friends and co-workers, showing how they all are there to support each other and, specifically, Lahela as she balances her responsibilities as a doctor while also trying to be a normal teen on occasion. In regards to the latter, she started a relationship with Walter, but in season 2 that could become an issue.

Here is the official synopsis for Doogie Kamealoha MD season 2:

"When Lahela's first love, Walter returns from the World Surf Tour, he's not the same boyfriend she said goodbye to months before. But she's not the same girl either. That becomes clear when she meets a bad boy on a dirt bike, Nico. She's faced with a decision: fight for what she knows is true, or give new love a chance. It's all complicated by the pressures of being a teenage doctor. Luckily, she has her family, coworkers and best friend Steph to support her along the way."
