Love, Love, No Love: Chicago Med "All The Lonely People"


After a very eventful fall finale, Chicago Med is back with a bang and some highly emotional moments that even asked some questions. Here's a recap!

The episode starts with a bang, as April gets shot by a crazy dude who was a patient in the past and had hate for women. As much as he wanted revenge, Ethan treated the patient, even if he had other medical problems. Dr. Charles gets Dr. Curry's help to evaluate the patient, but she thinks the guy is crazy because he's so lonely and makes things worse. Well, the shooter was taken into custody and gave Burgess a nice overtime.

During Dr. Charles' evaluation of the shooter, he notices that Curry isn't charming around others, even eats alone, and does many, many projects for her Ph.D. Charlie confronts her and asks her if she's been depressed because she's shown some signs of what the shooter has gone through, but she fights back with an argument that he might be the one depressed and walks out. We later see Dr. Charles over the Chicago River, thinking that he's depressed, too.

Conner and Ava take things to a new level, but when he asks her to go with him to the gala for the hybrid OR, she declines. She does have an excellent good reason: because of his dad. As Conner meets with the press, Ava grabs him to tell him she wants to go because his father has been saying nasty rumors. But is it just rumors? Even after Conner punches him, he replies, "What did she tell you?" But he walks off.

Not to mention, Conner takes a case of a son who accidentally shot himself with a nailgun. But it's not the case where the nail is placed, but mainly a worried father making his son worried about having surgery. As soon as things began to go well, the kid's air levels were not good because of the tube to help him breathe, which put the father in absolute panic mode. As much as it turned out to be simple, Conner had to call Ava to assist him after that mess.

Well, I had to save the best for last in this case for #Manstead. Natalie gets word from the FBI that Will is coming home, but he's a bit jumpy. But she gets a bigger surprise that he's back that day and sees her at the hospital. Yeah might be pissed, but Natalie was so happy to see him back and alive. Things look well until they go home, and she sees he has a licensed gun. Well, after seeing that, she tells him that he can't stay with her with that gun in the house, and he leaves. Of course, he doesn't need a gun; he's got his brother, Jay!

"All the Lonely People" was excellent and very emotional at times of an episode. The moment Natalie and Will reunited was very emotional, not to mention Natalie comforting a father whose child was born the same day he lost his wife. And not to mention watching Ethan and April going at it, too. Ethan still cares for April, and I don't think his true feelings are gone yet.

Also, Casey Tutton, who plays Nurse Monique Lawson, was excellent and stole the episode with her character going through the emotions of the shooting but blaming herself for turning the shooter down for a cup of coffee.

I think now, until we see Will being pushed to the limit with his fears. The gun is step one, but what could be next for him to go off? This is going to be one exciting character development. I hope Manstead won't be doomed.

Overall, I give this episode 9/10.

You can catch Chicago Med Wednesdays at 8/7c on NBC.
