Standing up: Chicago Med "With A Brave Heart" Season Finale

The season finale left us not only with some good moments, but they also ended it with such a cliffhanger. Here's a recap!

As Charles plans to give his future bride a wedding that she won't forget; he comes to terms when a former patient comes back with a tumor in the brain. Charles pushes him to have the surgery but he must be awake during the surgery. After having a minor freakout, Charles gets his patient to calm down and got the surgery done. Charles finally takes into consideration from Robin and instead of taking his wife to Hawaii; they get married and bring Hawaii to Chicago is probably one of the best scenes of the episode that will just grab your heart. 

Ethan and April not only dealing with Emily and Bernie; but treating a husband who's suffering from a deer tick bite. But when they learn that the husband's wife is suffering from Alzheimer's and living with his girlfriend to help with home care and support. After learning from their patient, Ethan and April take that into their dinner with Emily, Bernie, and family as things seem to work well with their arrangement. But as Ethan and April take the dishes to the kitchen, April tells Ethan that she's late on her period. Uh oh!

Conner learns that his dad's death was questionable and that someone must have done something wrong. But when he has to perform surgery with Ava, things just don't seem right as she tries to win him back again. Could she have done it?

Will and Natalie treat a returning patient whose husband believes that there's something wrong with his wife's heart. After many tests, there was indeed a problem and as soon as she gets the surgery, her husband talks to Will about commitment as in having a family. After the surgery, they plan to start a family pretty soon. On the other hand, Will learns that the son of the mobster is out of jail and could go after him. After learning from the husband of his patient, he stands his ground and not go back to witness protection. That gets Natalie involved, who escapes a marriage proposal, to support Will, but when she talks to him in the parking garage, they get hit by a van. Will gains conscious from the hit to see the guy, who fainted, but also Natalie who is suffering a head wound and loses consciousness.

"With a Brave Heart" was a really good season finale episode. The episode left with some memorable moments from Charles and his wife to Ethan and April. The moment that really had me off my chair was Will and Natalie; yet I'm worried to know what will happen to Natalie and will #Manstead be together telling that other dude bye-bye.

I really didn't care for the Conner and Ava story as it really ran its course. But when the new season starts, I really want a good and solid explanation on where they had gone. I think that Conner and Robin go off to the sunset to better adventures. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10. I give this season a 9/10.

You can catch Chicago Med this fall on NBC.

Oh man! Could Dr. Charles be leaving Med for good? I'm not quite sure that will happen. I think that Conner will be dealing with some powerful stuff this week that not only with that kid and his father in the clip but probably losing his dad too. Maybe Will could take some lessons from Ethan and April in relationships. Anyone think Emily will bail on her baby? Two more episodes left! It's so hard to believe that we are coming to the end of the season.

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

Secrets, Truth and Lies: Chicago Med "Ghosts in the Attic"

After a week off, Chicago Med brings in another powerful episode that would leave us stunned. Here's a recap!

Ethan deals with a patient that no other nurse would want to help treat. When he confronts April about the situation, he learns that the patient is a child molester and assaulted one of the nurses, who had him as a piano teacher. Ethan understands but wants a nurse to help treat him, but none would but after the patient goes into cardiac arrest, he dies and Ethan thinks that April or one of the nurses might have given him too much medicine. It draws both Ethan and April into deep tension til Ethan learns that the patient had a tumor that had killed him.

Conner and Ava worked together to treat a patient, who comes in with broken ribs and is in need to place metal plates but is also HIV. After the first half was a success, working on the other half was a task when as they start to begin Ava cuts her finger. Goodwin ordered Ava to head to the Infectious Diseases Control and start taking meds. Conner, who feels bad, visits her with a forgive me present. But it was when Conner returns to Med that someone mentions that it's weird how that happened with Ava because she's so careful, which makes him think about it. Was it an accident or on purpose?

Natalie not only deals with Will's car being broken in but a patient who she assumed was playing with his wife about his cancer illness. It turned out that her patient wasn't playing, but knows that his illness is getting worst. But when it comes to Will, who was kind of on the edge with his car being broken in by someone. Learns the truth that Will didn't turn in the gun that he said he would do. After that, she's done and returns the ring.

Maggie, who hasn't had a strong storyline so far, not only dealing with Med down a nurse but deals with someone who asked for her help. Thinking that it might not be serious, turns out to be very sick when Will exams her and are in need of a kidney transplant.


"Ghosts in the Attic" was a marvelous episode! It was such intense and dramatic at times, that it had me on the edge of my seat almost throughout the episode. Strong character development and writing. I don't want to give up on #Manstead but I know that Will has been such an idiot that I wish that Jay or someone would just slap the reality back into him. He had one chance and blew it! I still have a little bit of hope they would get back together and I know some don't. Conner and Ava have been such an up and down with the did she or didn't she with his father. But now it's anyone's ball game whether if she played him with what had happened in that OR room. Anyone think that everyone needs to have a sitdown with Dr. Charles to talk this out? And Maggie's storyline was probably one of the best as the character hasn't had her own story in a while. I think next week's episode will have her go the distance to save the patient. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

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

Second Chances: Chicago Med "The Things We Do"

This episode of Chicago Med was one hour that was not to forget. Here's a recap!

On her way transporting a child in a helicopter, Dr. Manning experience crash landing and in need of help. Halstead rushes out there to help and after bring that child and saving him; Natalie wants Will to come back home with her only to get rid of that gun. After agreeing, Will never really did it and kept his gun.

Dr. Rhodes and Beker aren't on good terms after Conner's conversation with his father.  Conner takes things out of Bekker during their case treating a pregnant woman with down syndrome. Split with different opinions on treating their patient that needs surgery to repair her heart because of her mother's power of attorney and wanting to risk aborting her baby. But the patient came out great along with her baby boy too as her mother comes to terms of accepting the baby too. As for Conner and Ava, that's another story but I would rethink Conner's decision on taking his father side.

Dr. Choi and Cr. Charles deals with a patient who's suffering from liver failure and coming to terms about his alcohol problem. But what they don't know that their patient's drinking and all caused his son to try to take his own life but thanks to Charles who saved him by talking to him.

Meanwhile, when Curry gets word that her patient is coding, it turns out that he was allergic to contrast for testing and died. She shows her shield towards April, Sthol and even the patient's wife, but really let down her shield when she showed her emotion in a private moment.

"The Things We Do" was a fine episode that really "kept on your toes." Strong storylines and performances from the cast but Molly Bernard as Dr. Curry stole the episode with her storyline. Will is going on a path that seems to be not going too good; mainly his decision choices. I think Ava needs to get ahead and come clean to whatever had happen between her and Conner's dad. I still don't think she came on to him, besides she was supposed to go to a gala that night when she meets with Conner's dad. And I couldn't get enough of Sharon and Charles talking about online dating and even Sharon helping him too. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

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

Chicago Med "Ghosts in the Attic" Episode Preview

Here's a preview of next Wednesday's episode of Chicago Med titled, "Ghosts in the Attic."

"Ghosts in the Attic"

To Trust or Not to Trust: Chicago Med "Who Can You Trust"

It's that one simple question, who can you trust?

"Who can you Trust" was an intense and dramatic episode that puts each character in a situation and divided each one. From Halstead, who still battling his PTSD, is standing by his patient's decision, who's a pregnant surrogate with twins, whether to end one of the baby's life to save the other or putting in a stint in that could save them both. He gets the patient to decide over the parents and soon gets benched by Goodwin for his actions and Will takes it out on Natalie, who she thinks he needs help.

Ethan and April's work relationship is tested when they have a difference of opinion about treating the patient. With Ethan doing all that he can for a former veteran but dies in the end. Ethan confronts April about her ethics and her feelings towards Vicki that soon gets her open about she still has feelings and kisses Ethan in the doctor's lounge, but leaves just before Vicki shows up.

Conner and Ava's relationship seems to be on hyperdrive and for real. He still stands by her story about her encounter with his father. But after treating a patient that needs a liver donation doesn't want her own sister to donate because she killed her daughter years ago.  But in order to save her, Ave does what Conner thinks is unthinkable and does the surgery with the patient's sister with her knowing it. Conner soon visits her father to hear his side of the story.

I'd very much enjoyed the episode from beginning to the end and at times disagreeing with characters that would think know better. I think that it's gonna take time for Will to see that he needs help. I'm sure that Ethan and April's relationship might be over after that kiss. And the bigger question in this episode: who do you trust between Conner's father and Ava? I think there have been times when you could trust Ava but for somehow I think she's telling the truth.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

What do you think of the episode? Who do you trust between Ava and Conner's father?

Love, Love, No Love: Chicago Med "All The Lonely People"

After a very eventful fall finale, Chicago Med is back with a bang and some highly emotional moments that even asked some questions. Here's a recap!

The episode starts with a bang, as April gets shot by a crazy dude who was a patient in the past and had hate for women. As much as he wanted revenge, Ethan treated the patient, even if he had other medical problems. Dr. Charles gets Dr. Curry's help to evaluate the patient, but she thinks the guy is crazy because he's so lonely and makes things worse. Well, the shooter was taken into custody and gave Burgess a nice overtime.

During Dr. Charles' evaluation of the shooter, he notices that Curry isn't charming around others, even eats alone, and does many, many projects for her Ph.D. Charlie confronts her and asks her if she's been depressed because she's shown some signs of what the shooter has gone through, but she fights back with an argument that he might be the one depressed and walks out. We later see Dr. Charles over the Chicago River, thinking that he's depressed, too.

Conner and Ava take things to a new level, but when he asks her to go with him to the gala for the hybrid OR, she declines. She does have an excellent good reason: because of his dad. As Conner meets with the press, Ava grabs him to tell him she wants to go because his father has been saying nasty rumors. But is it just rumors? Even after Conner punches him, he replies, "What did she tell you?" But he walks off.

Not to mention, Conner takes a case of a son who accidentally shot himself with a nailgun. But it's not the case where the nail is placed, but mainly a worried father making his son worried about having surgery. As soon as things began to go well, the kid's air levels were not good because of the tube to help him breathe, which put the father in absolute panic mode. As much as it turned out to be simple, Conner had to call Ava to assist him after that mess.

Well, I had to save the best for last in this case for #Manstead. Natalie gets word from the FBI that Will is coming home, but he's a bit jumpy. But she gets a bigger surprise that he's back that day and sees her at the hospital. Yeah might be pissed, but Natalie was so happy to see him back and alive. Things look well until they go home, and she sees he has a licensed gun. Well, after seeing that, she tells him that he can't stay with her with that gun in the house, and he leaves. Of course, he doesn't need a gun; he's got his brother, Jay!

"All the Lonely People" was excellent and very emotional at times of an episode. The moment Natalie and Will reunited was very emotional, not to mention Natalie comforting a father whose child was born the same day he lost his wife. And not to mention watching Ethan and April going at it, too. Ethan still cares for April, and I don't think his true feelings are gone yet.

Also, Casey Tutton, who plays Nurse Monique Lawson, was excellent and stole the episode with her character going through the emotions of the shooting but blaming herself for turning the shooter down for a cup of coffee.

I think now, until we see Will being pushed to the limit with his fears. The gun is step one, but what could be next for him to go off? This is going to be one exciting character development. I hope Manstead won't be doomed.

Overall, I give this episode 9/10.

I'm literally at lost for words with Manstead but even though I had a feeling that they were going to have a rocky relationship when they came back. I understand what Will is doing, but I'm totally on Natalie's side with no gun in the house at all, even if there is a safe case for it. Will don't need a gun, he's got his brother Jay to do that. Hello! Ethan still loves April and it really showed. I wonder if these two will finally say what they feel. Rhodes and Bekker have been a ride this season and I can't wait to see what happens after Conner gave his father a punch to the mouth.

Oh man! I can't wait til Med returns. I have a feeling that Bekker tries to decline Rhodes' offer on going to the gala. Can't wait to see the son-father fist fight. As for Manstead, I still have hope that these two will be married, but I know too much damage has been done with one lie from Will.

Mind Think Different: Chicago Med "Playing By My Rules"

Will this be the end of #Manstead? Will Dr. Rhodes face the new rules for the hybrid OR? Here's a recap of this week's Chicago Med.

With Will facing pressure to stop treating Ray, instead of taking it out on them, he takes his anger against Natalie and their patients. He is trying to get Will to let his patient go so they can override the consent for his daughter to donate her organs, but he doesn't want to do it. But when Goodwin and the board decided to let the father go. Thinking that this could be the end of Manstead, as Will is up on the roof, Natalie joins him and asks if he wants the ring back. Instead of saying yes, he tells her he wants to marry her, and the two hug with emotion.

Rhodes gets word from Goodwin that the hybrid OR will be used for other surgeries. That news doesn't sit well with him, and it builds increasingly more of a battle with Lanik. After taking the OR back, Rhodes performs a dangerous operation that pisses Lanik, but in the end, the patient comes out okay. But when Goodwin heard of what happened with Rhodes, she told him that she was the one who authorized it, not Garrett. But she threatened him that if he ever did that again, she would fire him. That did turn Ava on and got her and Rhodes kissed in the prep room.

Maggie and April butted heads because of their way of managing the ED. With Maggie being Rhodes' top OR nurse, things have been relatively smooth without her when April takes over. After confronting, the two made up.

Ethan and Charles take on a case of the week when a veteran comes in with Vicki. The patient comes with a horrible head wound that's caused by itching. She tells Ethan that she can't stop itching, and it worsens.   But when Neurosurgeon sees her, he thinks that she needs surgery. But Charles doesn't think so and teaches Ethan how the mind can play horrible tricks on you. After leading the trick of playing with the mind, Ethan agrees that their patient doesn't need surgery and gets her to do a test. After looking in the mirror and scratching the other side of her head, her itching was about gone. Will it help in the long term? We'll have to wait and see. 

"Playing By My Rules" was another fantastic episode. There were many intense and emotional moments in this episode, from Natalie and Will butting heads on their patients to Rhodes going rouge against Lanik again and Goodwin in his ED OR. The case of the week with Ethan and Charles was a strong story that kept the episode interesting as it went on. Here I was, thinking it was a bug. And there were moments of WOW! from Rhodes and Ava kissing to Natalie and Will staying together. But Ethan decides to ask Vicki out, with April viewing it too. Ouch! Drama, right?

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch the fall finale of Chicago Med on Wednesday, December 5th, at 8/7c on NBC.
