Lies and Truths: Chicago Med "Tell Me the Truth"

Image result for chicago med tell me the truth



It's just a day of the house of lies for the doctors and nurses at Chicago Med. Here's a recap!

Ethan and Natalie treated a patient who showed signs of pregnancy but learned she was trying to abort the pregnancy. Ethan wanted to tell the patient's parents, but Natalie didn't; after discussing with Goodwin, they had to inform the parents. Natalie and Ethan try to convince their patient to tell before things get dicey. She tells her mother and talks with Natalie and Ethan about the surgery and gets her parental signature, but tells them not to tell her husband as he's not her father. Yikes!

Conner was about to perform a top-billing surgery for someone who could make money for the hospital and press coverage. Ava comes in to assist, probably because of jealousy that she's doing the surgery. But when the surgery begins, Conner gets a call that Robin has been kidnapped and if he pays $50K for her life. He rushes out, telling Dr. Charles about Robin, and rushes to the bank as quickly as possible, but Charles and Ruzek get there to say it was a scam. Does anyone believe that Ava might have something to do with it?

Will and April deal with an FBI agent who got hurt from what they say was a car accident, but with the severity of the injuries, Will finds out from Agent Lee about the whole story. Will gets close to Lee as a friend to help her deal with what happened. Could this spark a new romance? I hope not! #MansteadForever!!!

Also, Charles tries to reunite his daughter and ex-wife together, even though she admits it was a broken marriage. Sharon is asked to make budget cuts that could leave the ED short-staffed. Ethan learns the truth about what April has been hiding throughout the episode; Emily and her baby Vincent return and stay at April's place.

"Tell Me the Truth" was an excellent episode. I thought the Conner storyline was what it was, even in the promo, that it would be a scam call. But it did give us some fantastic car-driven scenes that looked a bit like Fast and Furious. Natalie and Ethan's story was excellent; I enjoyed watching two doctors having different opinions but working together to cover each other when treating their patients—so charmingly character developing, from Ethan and even Will with his relationship with Agent Lee. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

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