Welcome to the rapid river that is Chicago Med. Here's a recap!
This week's episode of Chicago Med had a lot going on, so let us get into it right here. Maggie and Ben have been with that little boy for a few weeks, and will soon be adopted. But the kid's health takes a turn for the worse, and to make matters even worse, the DCFS turns down the kid to have a procedure. After the kid's health was hanging in the balance, he finally got the procedure, but the adoptive parents backed out. Not to worry, Maggie and Ben will adopt him. Yes!
Will and Hannah's relationship could be severe after spending the last few weeks at her place. They treat a pregnant patient but risk her life to have a baby while battling brain cancer. Her condition worsens with time and treatments; Hannah and Will follow the patient's order to help save her baby no matter what, even if that's against her husband's wishes. Not only did the pregnancy have to be terminated, but the mother had also died. Curry sees the relationship between Will and Hannah and wonders if their relationship is clouding his judgment. I wouldn't deny it.
Sharon gets good news about her son staying in Chicago and working at Med. But he worries about the job after seeing him trying to figure out how to be friends with the other doctors, what they like, and such.
The main event deals with Ethan, April, and Crockett. When two patients come to the ED, Ethan questions whether or not his patient jumped off the bridge to the other patient's car. He and Dr. Charles try to deal with the parents, but the father doesn't come to see eye to eye. Ethan makes a drastic move by awakening Crockett's patient to get her word if that patient jumped or was pushed off the bridge. That upsets Crockett and lets Ethan take a swing at him.
After that happened, Ethan talked with Dr. Charles about their patient and came to terms with the fact that it was not Crockett he was mad at but April. At home, he awaits April's arrival and tells her he'll be at a hotel until she finds a new place. Ouch!
"Just a River in Egypt" was an excellent episode. I felt that this episode was on overdrive at times with Ethan/April/Crockett, along with Will and Hannah. I think I'm with Curry about how Will's relationship with Hannah might have jeopardized their patient. Could there have been another outcome? Probably. I thought Ethan had a powerful storyline in this episode dealing with the patient who may or may not have jumped off the bridge and a controlling father. Plus, figuring out who he should be mad at turned out to be April and not Crockett.
We have had a lot of drama going into this season with Ethan and April in the relationship department. Something tells me that there might be one last effort to save this relationship, and coming into next week's episode, what looks like Ethan puts himself on the line.
Maggie and Ben was something that I saw coming, but it still made me happy for the characters to step up to help this kid. I mean, in the previous episode, you knew that after they skipped their honeymoon to stay with that kid, they were going to adopt him.
The episode had good character development with Ethan, Maggie, and Ben. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.
You can catch the last episode of the season of Chicago Med next Wednesday at 8/7c on NBC.
