Changes and Reflections: Chicago Med "When Your Heart Rules Your Head"/ Chicago Fire "My Lucky Day"

"When Your Heart Rules Your Head" 

When a depressed and suicidal patient comes into Med after trying to end his wife's suffering from her illness, Dr. Choi believes that the right thing to do is turn the patient into PD. While Noah, who disagrees, does the unthinkable as he helps the patient end his life. But in this case, while Noah wasn't turned into PD for his actions, Choi decides to let him go. 

Meanwhile, Halstead is put in a situation with April, who believes that their patient is the perfect fit for his trial, but barely makes the mark. That is until Halstead gives the patient fluids and decides that he's fit for his practice. While Dr. Charles continues to fight for custody for his daughter to not move to Arizona, Anna visits with Natalie and, while asking for birth control but instead learns that she's pregnant. 

"When Your Heart Rules Your Head" was a good episode, but I thought that the Noah storyline was bound to happen. I wasn't disappointed with the storyline as it gave some excellent moments with Ethan and April, but I think it's time Noah moves on from Med. I do applaud for what Noah had done as it was set in good attention. 

I really enjoyed the Halstead-April storyline and Natalie and Anna storyline that was a bit better than Noah's. I think the outcome of what we have learned from Anna would have a more significant effect, and maybe that comes in the next episode since she didn't tell Dr. Charles at the end about her pregnancy. And Halstead, who's trying to make his trial perfect (they have to make their date solid and perfect), did something outstanding to put a patient in his practice. 

Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

"My Lucky Day"

Herrmann and Cruz ride up the elevator on a fire call at a high-rise building that would soon get trapped. With the loss of communication with the team, Cruz and Herrmann try to find a way to get out while the elevator cable wires are snapping off. 

They would hear the team in danger and Mouch trapped. Trying to keep calm, both Herrmann and Cruz talk tell their stories outside the firehouse that includes bringing children into the world. 

"My Lucky Day" might be one of my top five favorite bottle episodes of Chicago Fire. Let me just say that rule #1 of going into an elevator never talks about it's your lucky day because it's going to be not such a lucky one like Herrmann just had. 

All kidding to the side, this might have been the spotlight show of the week, in my opinion! This episode played so well to my emotions with the intensity, heartwarming, and fear of the team's going on.

Who isn't over the moon with Cruz's news (spoiler alert: Cruz and Chole are expecting their first child). 

Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

Quick Thoughts

I can't wait for this week's episodes of One Chicago. Looks like Fire and Med will be once again high drama. It seems that Dr, Charles might be learning soon about his daughter's pregnancy. Will and Ethan, let's see who wins this battle. I'm going with Will. 

While on Fire, Severide and Kidd's relationship looks to be not going the way we had hoped. Come on Kelly, tell her already! Looks like Gallo might have gone heroic again, but does going against Casey's order was the right thing or not? And looks like we get a little Brett and Casey scene this week (oh boy!). 

PD looks to be another good one with the team teaming up with a victim's father, who seeks revenge. I really don't have to worry about this one because PD has really stepped up the stories when it comes to crime-solving mysteries. I just wonder what we'll be getting without characters, maybe Halstead and Ruzek talking about their relationship with one another. That would be interesting.

Chicago PD "Unforgiven"

A cop is murdered, and suspicion falls on someone who has been holding a grudge against the officer. Intelligence works hard to solve the case but Deputy Superintendent Miller is hesitant to defend him until she knows the whole story.

Looks like episode four of these shows looks too good not to miss out. From Halstead's clinical trial storyline to Gallo could be getting his big rescue soon. And Mouch in a feud with someone once again. Oh boy! And PD looks to be another intense episode. I just wonder if the suspect happens to be part of the Intelligence unit?

I'm so excited to get this season really going in the new year to see where April and Ethan are going as it looks like he's pulling her off from taking care of COVID patients. I thought Lanik left Med? Upton has been getting packages from the FBI as they want her to join their team. Oh boy, Jay! You know what you got to do! And most of all how will Brett and Casey handle their relationship after knowing how each other feels about one another. And with the footage and shots, it looks like we could figure out how Casey got those scratches on his face.
