The fall finale of Chicago Med (if you want to call it that) dealt with changes and even family drama. Here's a recap!
After last week's episode, Dr. Laink had left Med, and Goodwin announced who would be the Chief of the ED...that would be...Dr.Ethan Choi. Of course, Will wasn't too pleased because he thought he would get it with his seniority at Med.
It didn't go well when Will's patient was suffering from an air bubble, and trying to locate it took too long due to Ethan's decision on the course of treatment. Will talked with Goodwin, and she told him that she didn't consider him for the Cheif position due to his past actions and recently in a relationship with an addict. Looks like Will might be looking for a new job with Dr. Viriani.
Natalie deals with a young pregnant mother brought in from jail but with no records of her condition. The patient demanded a professional OB and got one, but the mother took a turn for the worst as she needed an emergency c-section. But soon, things started to become with the patrol officers as they would take her back to jail on a misdemeanor.
Natalie goes full Wonder Woman, pushing the parol officer away from the mother and baby. But she wasn't charged for anything because they don't want bad press. Go, Natalie!
Dr. Charles tries to bond or talk with Crockett since he hasn't shown up to a session. But just as Crockett starts his sessions, Charles gets a call from his daughter about her mother not well. They brought her into Med, where Crockett performed emergency surgery for an ulcer. But Charles learns that his ex-wife is planning to move to Arizona. But looks like Crockett might need that session with Charles soon.
April treats a teen suffering from COVID-19, and her mother video calls her to check in on her. But soon, the daughter's health was not in good shape, and after April chewed a resident and got Ethan to give her patient a ventilator, it still wasn't good. Trying to reach the mother until April saw that the mother had arrived and tested positive for COVID-19.
"Those Things Hidden in Plain Sight" was a good episode. I thought with Choi as the new ED chief was a good choice. While the dynamic between April and Ethan didn't change a lot as Ethan gave April what she wanted but then stood his ground by not having the mother come to see her daughter before she passed.
While it did work with Ethan and Will. Not too pleased with the decision, Will tries to help his patient, but Ethan buts in and makes a good story that makes Will look good. But proves to Will that he can be reckless at times with orders, as Goodwin pointed out.
Natalie's story started off weird, but it got better and well, her pushing that cop away from her patient was super badass. Probably my most improved story in the episode. While Charles and Crockett's story was good, maybe after watching Charles' family, he could talk about his soon.
Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.
