A simple surgical procedure goes wrong; a mother goes against the doctor's advice on her child, while one doctor deals with her father's illness, while another learns the meaning of "a break."
The Rhodes-Bekker relationship might not be quite as popular with the viewers, but it's been one hell of a story arc with balancing their feelings with one another with their work. When Bekker and Rhodes performed a surgical procedure that should be so common, it turns out that someone left an instrument in the patient's heart. When learning that it was Bekker, the one that left it in there, as soon as it was almost over, she let Rhodes finish it. It leads the two into another heated conversation, but he confronts Latham. Rhodes takes the blame for it, but in this case, he'll keep an eye on both of them for the upcoming surgical separation of the twins.
Goodwin deals with a challenging situation when her godson comes in with severe burns along with his friend. Thinking that his friend had a troubled past, her godson started it and tested positive for drugs. It led Goodwin to confront him to tell the truth, which led to his mother upset and maybe pulling their funding from the hospital.
Natalie and Charles deal with a child who looks like a girl on the outside but a boy on the inside. When the mother learns of her daughter's condition, she wants them to take her testicles out because she wants her little girl to be a girl. It puts Charles and Natalie in a challenging situation, which leads them to the hospital committee to make the decision, which goes to the mother. But when the child was suffering severe pain and had to go to the OR, her mother changed her mind and did not take all of the testicles out.
Reese deals with her father as he comes in with heart failure. Rhodes and everyone try to comfort her father, which she doesn't want anyone to do. She goes by her work but also watches a patient, who's on his deathbed, to have his son come, but instead, he doesn't when he says he did. April and Noah comfort him in his last minutes, even though the patient thought that Noah was his son, which was one of the heartwarming moments of the episode. In the end, Reese goes up to see her father but only to see and walk by his room without going in.
After taking care of Goodwin's godchild, Halstead tries to be there for Natalie when she's dealing with her patient. As he lends his ear to her, she asks him out for dinner, but after saying yes, Will decides if he should tell her about his one night with another woman. When he meets Natalie, he tells her about that night with another doctor and that he doesn't understand what "a break" is. She's shocked and tells him that "a break" doesn't mean being with other people, and quickly she leaves.
"An Inconvenient Truth" was another intense episode dealing with some strong storylines from Rhodes and Bekker to even Natalie and Dr. Charles and Reese, who's trying to figure out if she should see her dad or not. I think that in the next episode, she will see her father. I could understand why she didn't want to see him after what he had done to her. I wonder if losing a donor for the hospital will cost Goodwin her job. I don't think it will. When all seems to go well for #Manstead, it turns terrible once again, but hey, at least Will told Natalie the truth about it. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.
You can catch Chicago Med Tuesdays at 10/9c on NBC.
