Thoughts:

This season finale for both Med, Fire, and PD is all hands on deck type of watching. I think that PD might have another great ending to the season (once again). 

Even though we know that April and Natalie are leaving, I just wonder if Natalie will be the one to save Will's career one more time? Will Dean take responsibility for what had happened to Ethan? I can't wait!

Fire looks to be so good. That proposal was epic in last week's episode! Casey's speech to Brett that he loves her and that Dawson is no more got me all excited! Is that what gets Brett a bit cloudy during a call in the season finale? I feel there's going to be a surprise yet to come, I just don't know what.

PD, let's just call it for what it is, I wanted Wednesday to get here as soon as possible. Why did no one go with Burgess? And I just wonder if this will drag into next season? 

This is a "get your popcorn ready" type of finale!

Thoughts:

It's hard to believe that we're just two episodes left this season and I feel that these last two episodes for both shows like riding a freight train going high speed. 

Could Manning's mother take a turn for the worst after what the drug trial medication has been doing? I'm excited to see how this will end now that we know that Dr. Manning and April Sexton won't be back for season seven. 

For Fire, I can't wait to see what's next for Stella after SPOILER ALERT....passed her test! Where will she be going? Looking forward to Mouch's award ceremony. Plus more Stella and Severide moments, and why he wants to back away from proposing to her. And why Casey isn't talking to Brett about what Granger told him about. 

PD looks to be very good as could we see Deputy Superintendent being push to the limit? Will Ruzek be part of an undercover? I can't wait!

You can catch One Chicago Wednesdays beginning at 8/7c on NBC and new episodes airing next day on PeacockTV.

Virtual World: Chicago Med "What A Tangled Web We Weave"/"A Red Pill, A Blue Pill"

"What A Tangled Web We Weave"

Oh my god! What an episode this turned out to be! 

We see Goodwin entering the ED after an accident involving a young boy riding his bike at night. Goodwin tries to get information about the boy. It soon turns when she confronts the boy's mother and tries to reason why she does not do the surgery. 

But it turns out that after the surgery, Goodwin gets word about DCFS coming; she does one more thing to help the mother, which means giving her a job and a place for her boys to stay while she's working. 

Manning gets worried after her mother has developed a cough after taking the trial drugs. As soon she asks Will about it, Will searches for those pills that Kinder did not pick up. It even gets Will and Marcel to bump heads with one another with a patient who doesn't want surgery. 

Meanwhile, Maggie tries to meet her long-lost daughter, who is in the medical field. When April signs up for a nurse practitioner, Dr. Archer gets her to perform a procedure that puts her in an uncomfortable situation. 

"What a Tangled Web We Weave" was such a good episode. I couldn't get enough of Goodwin's storyline, even though she was breaking the rules. Goodwin being Goodwin. Also, Manning is playing with Halstead and Marcel about her mother. It's wild, but I loved their argument in this episode. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

"A Red Pill, A Blue Pill"

Are we living in a Matrix simulation? 

Dr. Archer, Dr. Charles, and April tend to a patient with abdominal pain who refuses treatment because he believes he's in a computer simulation. The patient pushes Archer, which worries April because he seems to overdose on the patient to get surgery. 

Natalie rushed to the ED with her mother as her health declined. Will soon suspected Natalie was the person who took the trial medication. After hearing that Natalie's mother's heart is improving, Will decides to give more of the trial drug, slowly move her out of the LVAD, and get her on the transplant. 

Marcel tends to a patient who came in with a gunshot but couldn't find the bullet until it was in his child's body. Marcel saves the child just in time. And Maggie gets to watch her daughter work in the ED but does get in trouble with Ethan. 

"A Red Pill, A Blue Pill" was a good episode that kept me on my toes for the whole hour. It's from an excellent #Manstead storyline. Of course, I ate that up. Plus, the Archer storyline is getting good, and Maggie and Vanessa were also as good. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.
