"We're Lost in the Dark"
With a storm hitting Chicago, what could have gone wrong? Power outage! Here's a recap!As everyone's recovering from the loss of Conner and Ava, Med tackles its biggest challenge yet, a power outage during a storm. Natalie returns but must take things easy, but when a gunshot victim comes in, Lanik not only takes over the case but makes her take him up to surgery. But as she takes him up, the power goes out, and she's stuck in the elevator. Luckily for her, Casey happens to come to help, and while he places the tube for the guy to breathe, Natalie saves the guy just in time for the power to come back on.
Will takes on a case that leads him to think that it's an infection, as not only his patient but also her two friends become ill. With no power and the lab slowdown, Dr. Charles knows what it could be, mind over matter. He gave them a placebo, and all was good.
Noah returns and meets Dr. Marcel, who's given me this Jimmy Smits meets George Clooney vibe. The two hit it off when treating a patient who needs heart surgery, but when the power goes off, it turns into a MASH type of atmosphere; in the end, they save their patient.
Also, Maggie will be battling her will after getting her first chemo treatment. Ethan and April test a promising medical student during all of the chaos in the ED. You would think the kid would be excited afterward, but he wasn't.
"We're Lost in the Dark" was an excellent and exciting second episode with a solid plot. I enjoyed watching Dr. Marcel's introduction, even though he was in the season premiere. In this episode, I got more of who he is and still see a bit of Jimmy Smits and George Clooney in this guy. I will be glued to Natalie and Will and will bsed by what Phillip has done to them. I won't be surprised if April and Ethan try to have a baby. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.
"In The Valley of the Shadows"
Support is lacking in this week's episode of Chicago Med. Here's a recap!!When Natalie tackled a patient who came in for a burn on her leg, her condition got worse as Natalie was gonna treat her. Will questions her motive and worries about her decision-making when she forgets between one medication over another that she thought she used. When Will takes over, Natalie discovers that her patient has a medical disorder.
Ethan and Charles deal with a terminally ill patient who is planning to freeze himself so that when his illness has a cure, they can bring him back. Charles not only deals with this but his wife, who broke her wrist and wants to have surgery over having a cast. After learning that their patient's parents decide to go with their son's wish, Charles chooses the same thing with his wife.
April and Marcil team up and treat a mother who walked into the ED after giving birth, but April suspects something is not correct. After the mother refuses treatment for herself, April brings in DCFS, but the mother is out when Marcil gives her medication to calm down. Later, both get a patient that PD found and has a wound that shows she had a baby. April put two and two together, and that woman literally cut that baby out of that mother.
Maggie gets some help thanks to Goodwin, but she doesn't want it and gives the nurse hell. After bailing out during surgery with Marcil, that nurse leaves after a strong-worded conversation. Goodwin demands Maggie pick April to take some of the load from her, and maybe she'll choose to get treatment at Med, too.
"In the Valley of the Shadows" was an excellent episode with a few predictable moments. The woman coming in with her baby turns out she cut the baby out of the mother's womb. But what Marcil did was a bit surprising, given that he has morals. The Will and Natalie story and Ethan and Charles were good. I enjoyed watching Maggie's story, as it was so good and powerful. Good writing and character development. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.
