Reunited: Chicago Med "Do You Know the Way Home?"

 


Well, that had happened!

"Do You Know the Way Home?" was another fantastic episode with many excellent stories that some of them couldn't get out of my mind after watching and rewatching. 

From Ethan and April's tension after he ordered her to work from the COIVD wing to the ED because they needed the staff that leads to her and Dr. Charles taking care of a patient that could have been abducted years ago. The outcome of the story was so memorable with April and Dr. Charles getting Ethan to help but seeing the patient and her biological mother reunited that just gets you to grab the tissues. 

Another tissue story in this episode comes to Will and a patient that seemed to be quantified for his new heart treatment drug but the patient's daughter and his caretaker didn't want it and ordered that Will stop treating him. But just as her father was about to have a severe risk surgery, his heart starts to act up and Will steps up and saves him doing a slow and intense procedure. 

As Natalie is on FactTime duty with patients, who call about their health problems, one has shown some serious concerns and that she must become to the ED but wouldn't. After calling back a few more times with even more serious conditions the truth comes that all she wanted was to talk to someone as her son hasn't visited or called her in years. That was another tissue moment. 

Crockett receives a patient who happens to be his ex and tries to fulfill her wishes or no surgery but she would later need it. As they reminisce about the old days, Natalie sees that he was a bit sad; even after he sees his ex's fiance. Natalie talks to Crockett on the roof and tries to show not only friendship but maybe a romance with a kiss on his back/his shoulder. 

Overall, I enjoyed this episode very much. I don't know about you but I'm getting tired of Ethan going back and forth from being strict to breaking the rules here and there. He's been on the show for six years and still doesn't trust his colleague's judgments? 

While I thought Will pushed the drug trial on the elder patient and deserve the reaction from the patient's daughter. After the trial drug might have clouded his judgment to taking care of a patient, he gained much respect. 

I don't know what to think of the Natalie and Crockett relationship. I think the kiss might have been too much even if it was on his back. I think maybe a hug would have been a better outcome to show friendship. But I do see how Natalie wants to help him move on from his pain. Well, see where that goes. 

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10,
