Maggie fights to keep her patient by making a sacrifice. Conner is in a situation about his decision-making of a former patient. At the same time, Will deals with not only his patient but also Conner's patient. Here's a recap!
Maggie's friend comes back to the ED again for fluid overload. But when she finds out that her patient is at the bottom of the kidney transplant, she makes the most significant decision of donating her kidney to her. Of course, Sharon does what she can to stop it, but after Maggie offers the FMLA card, Sharon understands and approves the transplant.
Conner learns that he's under review about the patient he placed in the ICU (the one where Jay got answers to where Will was being held). After learning that everything was okay, Ava said that she thought Conner did what he did to save the patient. But after talking with Lanik, Conner thinks who could have turned him in for that committee review, Ava? He confronts her and asks her and thinks that she needs help, but she tells him that he's the one who needs help.
Will deals with what I would call a hit of objective reality. Not only does he help try to save a patient who's gone into cardiac arrest and trying to keep him alive, but he sees Conner's patient was shot by a gun that had his stolen gun. He tries to see any updates on Conner's patient and learns that the kid has a bullet in the spine and can't feel his left leg, but no surgery as it could be even worse. But Will talked to the parents and got them to want the surgery, which he did, and it worked. But Will was advised to get his head out of his ass. As for Will's patient, his heart wasn't working after what seemed to be 30 minutes of CPR, so I had to stop and let him go.
Also, Natalie treats the baby she delivered a while ago, and the mother dies. She and the baby's father seem to get close and even get questioned by Will. But Natalie tells him she's just comforting him and that he could lose his baby. Dr. Charles' date seemed to go well till he learns that his date has a daughter who's a drug addict, and after trying to save her from what appeared to be a heart condition, she bails out of the ED to get drugs again.
"Can't Unring That Bell' was another excellent and intense episode. I enjoyed the Maggie storyline as she's trying to help save a patient that she ignored. What a strong performance from Marlyne Barrett. As for Conner and Ava, I can't pick a side as to whether she's telling the truth. I would hope we get to see maybe a there would be an episode where she talks to a therapist of Dr. Charles. Will needed a work day like that and maybe rethink and go to therapy, but he also got Natalie thinking that perhaps she should listen to him better instead of assuming. As much as Dr. Charles and his date were humorous at times, the rest with the drug addict daughter was a bit predictable, and it was one of the weakest stories in the episode. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.
You can catch Chicago Med Wednesdays at 8/7c on NBC.
