Missed this week's episodes of One Chicago? Here's a recap!
Chicago Med: "Family Matters"
Could changes be coming soon at Med? Here's a recap!
Following the previous episode, Archer disagreed with Lenox on how she handled the patient's treatment, and even a case review could have been more beneficial. This got Goodwin to look into the situation and talk to one another. More later.
Ripley and Frost treat a man who has a severe infection and needs a dose of antibiotics to help. Unfortunately, the stress on the guy's heart could put him in cardiac arrest, but he has a DNR and tells his wife that removing the DNR will help give him a better shot instead of letting him go. She stays with her husband's wishes of keeping the DNR, but his co-worker/girlfriend has another thing to say. After seeing him in respiratory arrest, they allow them to save him with success.
Asher helps a father who is in liver failure track down his son. As she witnesses a family reunion, she is reminded of how her family reacted to her addiction and that even her sister still won't talk to her. When things were looking good for the father and son, as the son was going to help donate a part of his liver, he walked out on him. Of course, this gets Asher to call and leave a message to her sister that she hopes to see and talk to her.
Charles and nurse Jackie help a teenage girl who's been having stomach pains and panic attacks. Charles learns the girl was adopted and sees her family on social media, where he sees that they are heavy-set people, which determines that she might be taking weight loss medication, which she confesses. But is it just me, or is Charles and Jackie getting closer and closer in their working relationship?
Goodwin has been trying to figure out what to do with the Archer and Lenox situation, even talking to other doctors and Archer and Lenox. But after considering all the facts, you would think that she would demote Lenox, but Archer is demoted to ED attending. Well, why not, right? During these past six episodes, Lenox has been forthcoming with her residents/students.
"Family Matters" was once again a solid and good episode. The Asher story of watching the father and son reunite and then end in disappointment was good and heartbreaking, but watching her call her sister to try to break bread is something I hope she gets some redemption for later on. If you thought that Lenox would get the boot or demoted, I was right there with you as it sounded like it was heading in that direction. Instead, this was a perfect move. Now, will Archer leave the ED? The following episode points in that direction.
Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.
Chicago Fire: "Untouchable"
Will Bishop be taken down? Can Mouch overcome his fear of the lieutenant's test? Here's a recap!
With less than a week to go, Mouch is stressing over the lieutenant's test and who will come in to help him but Cruz. Cruz tries to show him some tips on overcoming those fearful thoughts of the test by giving him exercises, but Mouch isn't taking it. Even bringing up his aga brings more fear into his head, but Cruz gives him a pep talk about how much he knows from experience and also what's in his heart. Thanks, Cruz!
Meanwhile, Novak is focused on bringing the blood program that will allow 61 to have easy access to blood when needed in an emergency. Talk about being focused on a good and strong cause for 61 to have; even Shay, Gabby, and Brett would have to be so proud. And Violet is put to the test when her boyfriend invites her to his relative's funeral and even brings up how she lost her previous boyfriend on a call. Talk about awkward timing.
Severide and Pascal team up to take Bishop down, but with everything pointing to nearly a dead end, a call to an engine fire brings them to Bishop's place. After taking out the fire, Severide spots solid evidence to take down Bishop for good. But was this fire set up for Severide to find? But hey, if Pascal did it, he did it for the 51 family. Cheers to that, right?
"Untouchable" was a good episode, and the Severide and Pascal partnership was solid. I think that they see and understand (somewhat) one another after taking down Bishop. It was about time we saw some fire in Novak with the blood program storyline; it's a good side to see from her besides seeing her swing no chucks. And how can you not enjoy the Cruz-Mouch relationship in this episode? It was solid and reminded me of the moments in the past seasons when these two meant to one another. Remember the season five ender?
Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.
Chicago P.D.: "Contrition"
A familiar face returns. Will Torres handle it? Here's a recap!
Picking up at the end of last week's episode, a case draws a name that gets Torres looking up, which leads to Gloria, who happens to be in Chicago. When taking on a shooting case, the case takes to a suspect who runs a restaurant but also runs it is Gloria.
Of course, this has Torres in an emotional state, trying to figure out how to handle this without having him and Burgess get in trouble from the previous encounter with Gloria. They get Cook to go undercover and soon work for Gloria, even after saving her life.
Gloria trusts Cook to the point where she wants her to do something for her, but things get dramatic on the ride to the drop-off point. Gloria thinks that Cook is a cop and talks to her about how she had a relationship with Torres, but when she mentions his name, Burgess cuts the camera feed that Cook was wearing, so his name isn't recorded. Just as Torres runs to Gloria and Cook's vehicle, they are gone, leaving in a cliffhanger for the fall finale.
"Contrition" was a solid Torres episode from start to finish. Benjamin Levy Aguilar gives a solid performance in this episode with the overwhelming emotions that Torres is taking from remembering Gloria and their relationship. Gavin Harris doesn't do it again, and the fall finale will be a must-see episode.
Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.
