Exploring Conrad and Billie's relationship in The Resident

The Resident Season 6 finale provided a fulfilling wrap-up to several character storylines, including Conrad's romantic life. The doctor finally confesses his affection for Billie, opening a new chapter in their lives.

But it wasn't easy for the two to eventually get together because of unresolved feelings. In the final season of The Resident, Conrad shared that he couldn't help but think of his late wife Nic whenever he saw Billie, and that made him hesitant to move on.

Billie had once informed Conrad that Nic would always desire that he should be happy and that he should focus on his happiness. Throughout the season, Conrad and Billie's relationship became even more apparent.

A "turning point" came in Billie and Conrad's lives during Kit and Bell’s wedding in The Resident Season 6 Episode 6. This was confirmed by the show's co-creator, Amy Holden Jones (via TVLine):

"I think Conrad has been in denial about his feelings for the first half of the season. He truly is attracted to Cade, but that attraction was predicated on his mistaken notion that Billie, as Nic’s best friend, was off limits for him."

The dance helped the two realize their emotions are complicated and entangled with their past. While it was a significant moment in their connection, their romance wasn’t going to happen overnight.

Just as Jones said:

"Sometimes it takes a little while to realize you can, and must, follow your heart."

Billie was also close to her best friend and Conrad's daughter, Gigi, which further strengthened her bond with the doctor. Since Billie was already in love with Conrad, she patiently waited for him, and the two finally shared a romantic moment in the season finale.
