Personal Struggles and Trumpets: Chicago Med "The Ghost from the Past" 100th Episode

The 100th episode of Chicago Med was everything and more in this particular episode. Here's a recap!

April's health worsens when she experiences a complication from the IVF treatments. Will gets Dr. Asher to treat April as a sign of trust in the hospital. While it was only a slight complication due to overdoing the IVF, April tells Ethan that it's still her fault because of her kissing Crockett. Ethan didn't take it well.

Before that had happened, Ethan and Crockett were treating a cop who took a bullet to save a kid. But during surgery, there happened to be another bullet wound years ago. They tried to ask him questions about it, but the cop kept denying it. After Ethan almost ripped Crockett's head off, the cop confessed to what had happened and soon told Platt about it, too.

Dr. Charles and Natalie treat a daughter who seems to have no health issues whatsoever, but another colleague believes that the mother is medically abusing her daughter. Dr. Charles realizes it's not what they were thinking, but the mother had PTSD due to seeing her daughter born premature and almost dying. 

Dr. Charles tried to bond with his 13-year-old daughter, who was in trouble for vaping at school. While Dr. Charles attempted to converse with her, it was more of a lecture talk. But after she witnesses him and other doctors with that mother, Dr. Charles takes her away and has a heart-to-heart conversation about not being there for her, and he'll do better.

Throughout the episode, Maggie tries to get her wedding on track, but things get complicated at the wire of the event. Ben, who's been trying to ask to help, comes up with a brilliant wedding at a bowling alley (of all places). After the wedding, the party went bowling.

"The Ghost from the Past" was an excellent episode. April and Ethan could be on the verge of a breakup. Should we be worried about Natalie with Crockett?  Will and Dr. Asher, while friends, could be a thing down the road. While everything in this episode was so good, the Dr. Charles stories and Maggie's wedding were my standouts. I thought Anna Belknap was so good and the second CSI: NY actor in the last couple of episodes. Any chance we'll see her again? That wedding was such fun to watch. I loved how it ended in a way that season two ended with that party. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

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