Breaking and Pushing: Chicago Med "The Tipping Point" Season Finale

The season finale of Chicago Med had everything you were hoping and still leaving you wanting more but it left with some pretty shocking moments.

Let's begin with the most biggest part of the episode: the separation of the twins. Even after Rhodes' stepped down after he lost a patient in last week's episode, he still has a hand in it no matter if he's scared of not. Playing more of viewing from behind the scenes, he did leave his mark and got in there to help perform a difficult procedure that required a shunt in the heart and later helping with the separation. It left with a very nice offer to Rhodes a position at the Mayo Clinic and after telling Bekker about it, it kind of broken things with them.

Ethan get worried about his sister running away with April reminding him that what she did was wrong to take and steal pain meds from the hospital. But when Deb and Kiki come in with pain, throwing up and liver enlarge, turns out that they have Hep. A and both him and Manning headed out there looking at everyone else to make sure they're okay. They find Laura and Ethan's sister as well, all brought back. Laura got the worst of the case and that also includes Hep. C. With her diagnosis, Laura's baby, that was adopted, had to come in to get tested and after seeing her for a few minutes and learning that she will be okay then Laura's condition took a tumble.

Reese has been trying to take care of her dad by helping him pick a nursing home for his rehab and let alone helping him get exercise too (walking). Charles gets word about the parents of the college student was murdered and after a couple of minutes talking with Haywood, he managed to have a chat with the parents and finding a item from her room (stuff monkey) which would later be found in Haywood's apartment.

Goodwin not only had to deal with the big twin separation news, but also was asked to be at board meeting but it was Burt, her ex-husband, that came in after trying to kill himself. Halstead tried to talk to him, even Charles tries to talk to him (even as a friend) but that didn't work til it was Sharon that tells him to think of what he still has, their three children, which kind of helped get him to admit of seeking help.

Now with all those moments, lets put those that left us with in shock state of wishing for the fall season to start. After treating  his sister, Ethan is determined to help Emily but April thinks that she can't get the help due to being damaged but Ethan isn't given up on her and tells her that she's coming back to stay with them that quickly turns into just being with him. After a successful day, Sharon gets word of a new Trauma chief on the floor and a new CCO of the hospital that she might need to keep an eye on. Rhodes and Bekker might have broken things up again.

After losing Laura, word about the twins being separated was celebrated among the hospital and even Frisch comes over to Halstead and asked if he wants to celebrate with him, for which he turns down and  Natalie finally learns who it was that he had a one night. After that went south, he's plan for a proposal up on the roof turned to being in the parking lot and asking on the spot.

But real moment came when Charles confronts Haywood about stories of murders around the campus where he taught and as they talked Haywood tells Charles that he can't admit that he had won his daughter back over what he had tried to do. But when Charles talks more about the case, it pushes Haywood fall to the ground with his new heart stopping leaving with Reese to come in and see both of them on the floor.

"The Tipping Point" seemed to be the tipping point of where are characters are with life challenges. With all the good things that had happen for the characters, it could be broken with one little saying or not informing or pushing to the limits. I thought the season finale was as strong of an episode as ever with strong character development and leaving us some major questions about certain characters: like for one did Natalie said yes or no? Even that was awkward proposal. But the big one was Haywood collapsing to the floor in front of Charles and Reese coming in at the end. Is he dead? If he is I assume that he caused his heart to stop in the way that he had Reese played to his hands an all. Probably not going to make the relationship between Reese and Charles good again. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10 and the season a 9/10.

You can catch Chicago Med when they return in the fall Wednesday night of #OneChicago at 8/7c on NBC.
