Wondering when you can finally witness her highness in all her glory? Read on to find out.

According to TV schedules and listings, the upcoming Episode 10 of Season 4 will air in just a short week's time – next Monday, February 22, at 10 PM only on ABC.

When will 'The Good Doctor' Season 4 Episode 9 air? Here's when ABC medical drama will return from mid-season break

Next week's Episode 10, titled 'Decrypt' follows a "hacker sabotage" at St. Bonaventure's. The official synopsis reveals, "When the hospital is hit with a cyberattack threatening to shut down life-saving machines, Lea rises to the challenge and looks to outsmart the hackers to prove herself. Meanwhile, the team treats an inspirational cancer survivor-turned-successful-philanthropist who harbors a dark secret."

It will be interesting to see Lea take on center stage in a light that's not related to her relationship with Shaun Murphy aka the titular doctor. Sure, Lea's ties to the hospital are because of her genius boyfriend who works there, but she will actually contribute to something outside of her relationship with Shaun, which has practically been her entire arc this season.

The episode follows a difficult one for both Lim and Claire, as the two women are fronted with demons on tonight's 'Irresponsible Salad Bar Practices'. The synopsis reveals "Lim is challenged by the unique circumstances surrounding a pregnant patient with an aggressive tumor. Elsewhere, after misdiagnosing a patient, Claire makes a disconcerting discovery about certain practices at the hospital." Honestly, though, can these two ever catch a break?

'The Good Doctor' Season 4 airs on Mondays at 10 PM only on ABC.
