Fly: Chicago Med "I Can't Imagine the Future" Fall Finale

The fall finale of Chicago Med holds nothing back. Here's a recap!

In the fall finale, we see Dr. Charles do one last thing for his wife: throw a party with family and friends. At the same time, it may not be something new for Charles to do for someone. It's a real turning point for the character as, at the start of the episode, he gets overwhelmed with emotions when Caroline tells him that she wants him to remarry. 

Things aren't looking great for April and Ethan as April learns she's going into early menopause, but with luck, the IVF could work. She takes not having children to heart and takes it out on Ethan, who's been reading a book about being a father. Later on, the two will have even more arguments when both Ethan's and Marcil's patients could be part of the domino transplant. However, when Ethan's patient dies before going on the table, Marcil's patient still gets the kidney from Ethan's patient's mother. Ethan and April leave on bad terms, with April kissing Marcil as Ethan is about to head out overseas.

Will treats a patient who believes he can fly when he skates on the ice. With an injury to the vertebrae, Will options the patient's father for him to have the brace instead of surgery, but that's not what the patient wanted, and he got the surgery and passed with flying colors to make a full recovery. While Maggie takes care of Ben, who almost is at heaven's gate, but instead creates a full recovery from fighting the measles.

As for Natalie, while treating and hoping that Phillip's daughter gets the surgery, her memory returns, as she gets flashbacks to the events leading up to the crash. After learning about the girl making a full recovery, Natalie remembers what she wanted to tell Will and meets him on the roof to say that she loves him, but in return, Will tells her that he's taken to what she had said and has moved on. NO!!!!!!!!

"I Can't Imagine the Future" was a fantastic fall finale with powerful writing and performances from the cast. The Maggie-Ben story was emotional; I wondered if he would make it. Dr. Charles's story was overwhelmingly inspirational; we have never seen his character be that full of emotions that just took my breath away. And the Natalie and Will situation again has me pulling my heart out as I've wanted these two to get back together. It can't end like this again! Once again, I still have hope! Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

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

Decide and Love: Chicago Med "Who Knows What Tomorrow Brings"/"Too Close to the Sun"

"Who Knows What Tomorrow Brings" 

Let the party begin!!

"Who Knows What Tomorrow Brings" was an okay episode from start to finish. Dr. Charles and Will help treat a patient who believes he's a vampire, but it turns out he's got Hepatitis B. While Natalie and Elsa try to treat a daughter who was in an accident but died due to respiratory issues. Dr. Choi, April, and Marcil try to help a military amputee but get blocked by the army officers because of her status as AWAL. But as Maggie starts her chemo treatments, she meets a man she brings along for Dr. Marcil's crawfish party, which ends with April and Marcil kissing.

This was a good episode. Dr. Charles and Will's story was exciting and weird, but in a good way. This could have been a good Halloween episode. The story about the military soldier was a tough one as she was trying to get to her brother's wedding—good episode, well written and well-performed. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

"Too Close to the Sun" 

Sometimes things come back and bite them in the butt.

Noah gets attacked, and April and Marcil learn that he's been keeping that patient they helped treat a few episodes ago. At the same time, Maggie discovers that Ben has measles and has to suspend his treatment to get treated for the measles. Will and Curry treat a patient whose transplanted kidney is in trouble.

But the story to take away from here is when Dr. Choi and Charles treat a patient who happens to be a live-streaming star who lets his viewers decide for him. It causes tension between one another, and the patient comes to his senses.

"Too Close to the Sun" was a good and powerful episode. Marlyne Barrett gives another strong performance as Maggie sacrifices to help fulfill Ben's wishes.  That story was the best out of the rest in the episode. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Fight to Be Right: Chicago Med "Got a Friend in Me"/"It's All in The Family"

"Got a Friend in Me"

Tensions rise between two doctors, a secret will be revealed, and a doctor will do the unthinkable. Here's a recap!

While Noah starts his surgical training with Marcil, Choi doesn't think that Marcil teaches with the proper methods. But when the patient of Choi got sicker and sicker, the best thing to do was surgical. At the same time, the surgery was a success. While both Choi and Marcil think differently, they see eye to eye for what is best and get what they all want: their patient feeling better.

Maggie, dealing with the chemo, is still secretive with her colleagues about her cancer. After seeing CeeCee, she comes to terms and reveals her secret that she's battling cancer. Will tries to help a patient suffering from DVT, but then it soon turns into a P.E. that ends up killing his patient.

Natalie, who's been on one patient at a time, deals with a child with nose bleeds. But the problem comes when the parents have their methods of treatment. But when Natalie believes that their child has pneumonia and goes against the parents' wishes to treat, that leaves her to lock herself with her patient and give him the treatment. 

"Got a Friend in Me" was a powerful and shocking episode. Marlyne Barrett gives a solid and powerful performance as Maggie shows her struggles with treatment and work. But the powerful scene comes when she finally comes to Natalie and April and removes her wig in front of them. I'm very much enjoying the Choi and Marcil battle chemistry. Two minds think differently. The episode has good writing and character development. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

"It's All In The Family" 

Noah and April helped treat an assault victim they found in an alley. As soon as April and Noah learn who the victim is, they try to help her but instead disappear. But Noah brings her to his apartment to stay till she knows what to do next. This could be an issue down the road!

Dr.Charles and Ethan help a patient who happens to be a childhood friend of Charles' growing up who's been transitioning. Charles learns from his friend and her ex-wife maybe two people can reconnect and comfort each other. That's what happened with Sharon and Burt.

Will and Marcil deal with an issue of treating a Jehovah's Witness; Will learns that the patient broke the rules of the religion. But when the patient found out that his parents left and that he had surgery and was given blood, he was distraught.

As Natalie might face jail time for what she's done to her patient, Maggie gives her a sense of hope and tells her to trust her gut. That leads to one more test, but by the time she is about to do it, she gets arrested as the court order is lifted. It turns out that Natalie was right and that the little boy had an autoimmune disease. But that isn't all as Natalie confronts Phillip that she will not marry him, and just as she gives him a ring, Will comes and tells her the truth about how Phillip slipped the ring while she was recovering.

"It's All In The Family" was an excellent episode. Torrey Devitt performs outstandingly as Natalie battles everyone, with a few supporting her efforts to treat that child. The episode had good stories, writing, and performances from the cast. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

Comfort: Chicago Fire "Shut It Down"

This week's episode of Chicago Fire had one of its best case of the week episode this season.

When a 51 gets called to a gas leak at a home that exploded injuring a little girl, the team learns of a pattern. Confronting the gas company, they come to learn that there was a faulty sensor. Meanwhile, Cruz is in a state of panic over the wedding, but Severide lends him a hand, finally. Gallo saved the little girl from the first gas leak house explosion and learned that she's got a long recovery. Kidd tries to cheer him up and learns of why he's been acting like he's been because of his past.

After the previous episode, Brett gets what looks to be a letter from her biological mother. She tells Casey to throw it away, but you know how Casey is...he keeps it. But after throwing it away for the first time, Brett confronts Casey once again and of course, Casey saves it and hands it over to her. But when she opens it, it's just an address of where she is, which isn't too far from Chicago.

"Shut It Down" was a very intense, fun and heartwarming case of the week episode. From the hilarious moments of Cruz dealing with the wedding plans to Mouch trying to prove to Herrmann that he can still be effective on the team. The gas leak storyline was so good and kept the episode interested and on point. The Brett and Casey story was as heartwarming and funny. I just hope that she finds out that Casey could be her half-brother or something. Just a thought. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Chicago Fire as they team up with Chicago PD in the two-hour crossover event on February 26th at 9/8c on NBC.

Chicago Love and Respect: Chicago Fire "A Chicago Welcome"

This episode might be my favorite out of this season.

When someone is in need of help, Chicago is there. That's what I took out of this Chicago Fire episode, "A Chicago Welcome" as Firehouse 51 saved a married couple that had moved to Chicago not too long ago. While the husband survived, his wife didn't and their cat goes missing; but with Brett and Casey being there for him by finding his cat and even pulled a few strings to get more than a few people to come to the funeral. It was enough to make you grab the tissues and as a #Bresey fan, it just makes both Brett and Casey's relationship grand.

Meanwhile, while Froster is throwing a party at Cruz's apartment; Cruz felt that he was left out when he tried to come to the party. Froster apologies and makes it up for him to throw a better party than that one. Truck 81 gets a new truck and Herrmann isn't too pleased about it. Mouch pushes too much on Herrmann that puts a string on their relationship, but not too long.

But it was Grosh that comes back to bring even more hell on Chicago. As he was the reason he gave Truck 81 the new truck. Boden and Severide don't think he has crawled over a new leaf and investigated it. It turns out that Grosh has been scamming the city and in return gets fired.

"A Chicago Welcome" was such an amazing episode. This episode had played a lot in my emotions. Brett and Casey's story won me over so much. We even get the start of Brett's new story arc as she's wondering if she should meet with her biological mother, who sent her a letter. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Real Reason: Chicago Fire "Then Nick Porter Happened"

Someone's been crying wolf with the Firehouse 51, but who could it be?

When Firehouse 51 gets a call from a school's fire alarm being pulled, the headmaster tells them it was a false alarm. But that didn't sit well with Boden, Casey, and Severide, and they get a house call of a father being trapped under a water heater, which would have taken longer to get him out if they didn't waste time with the false alarm.

After that call, Saveride learns that the school has had three other false alarms within the month, which leads them to investigate it. After trying to use their method of ways, they get a tip from a student who doesn't quite like the ways there. When 51 gegotnother called, they checked allele cameras and did a search, which led to a habit of boyboyho popping the fire alarm because he was being bullied.

Meanwhile, the rent at Cruz's apartment wasn't going well with Bret, and he began to look for a third renter. Mouch gives them the idea for Nick Porter, who's been through a nasty divorce. While there, Bret and Cruz weren't too happy having Nick around with his classic NASCAR videos and remembering the good old days with his wife. Brett and Cruz get Mouch to ask Nick's wife if she can take him back. After accepting him back, Nick leaves, and F andoster lives with Brett and Cruz.

"Then Nick Porter Happened" was an excellent episode from start to finish. At first, the whole alarm thing at the school seemed pointless,t but after watching, it had a new meaning. Good writing and solid character development. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

Tension in the Air: Chicago Fire "Hold Our Ground"/"Where We End Up"

"Hold Our Ground" 

In the winter premiere of Chicago Fire, Severide's life is on the line, plus tension between two colleagues builds, and 51 takes down a robber. Here's a recap!

Picking up where we left off, Severide and the arsonist suspect are in the basement and are fighting to get out due to being a lit fire there; Severide saves him and is reprimanded back to Firehouse 51, but the partnership with Wagner is put in question with Kidd, but Severide takes care of that.

Meanwhile, Firehouse 51 learns they'll be sharing districts with Firehouse 20, and some aren't too happy, like Gallo. But after a call of an accident, Truck 81 lost its tool and learned that someone had stolen it to use it to break into ATMs. Gallo and Casey work together to figure out the guy; it turns out that they would meet that guy after being diverted on a call thanks to Firehouse 20. More on that later!

After the first accident, as 51 returned to the station, Mouch had a letter stuck to his boot and tried to bring it back to the post office but wouldn't take it. Mouch tries his best to figure out how to get an address, but with the help of Ritter, Mouch gets that letter delivered home to the wife of a falling soldier.

The tension is building out of the blue between Froster and Brett. It gets so wild that it even brings the atmosphere at Molly's down. Kidd gets them together and tells them to make amends. After their wild chase, Froster tells Brett about how she's been feeling looking at photos of her classmates, making it as doctors and somewhat.

Now, the wild chase to catch a robber was probably the episode's highlight, as it was like Fast and Furious meets Chicago Fire. I'm sure the Ambulance 61 could have taken down that truck alone.

"Hold Our Ground" was entertaining, dramatic, and exciting. The Mouch story was so good and funny but ended in a heartwarming moment. The Gallo was fun, and Brett and Froster were good too. This episode had good writing and character development. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.
You can catch Chicago Fire on Wednesdays at 9/8c on NBC.

"Where We End Up"

The tension between Firehouse 51 and Firehouse 20 builds even further.

The issue of overlapping districts for Firehouse 51 and 20 continued during a car accident that put even more tension between the firehouse. Things took a real turn for the worst as everyone at Firehouse 51 had to leave on behalf of bedbugs. Throughout the episode, while quite fun (mainly with Gallo, Brett, Kidd, and Froster), most were quite severe with Casey and the Captain at 20. But that all subsided after a fire rescue at dry cleaners where Casey and Gallo helped save a life, and Firehouse 20's Captain, in return, got significant respect.

Boden had to be at a meeting where he spots an old friend who happens to be the speaker. The discussion was about firefighters battling cancer because of the ashes, etc, which can cause down the road. In the spirit of Chicago Fire, Gallo, who's running in the marathon, runs with full firefighter gear in support of fighting cancer for firefighters.

"Where We End Up" was a moving and intense episode. While the tension over Firehouse 51 and Firehouse 20 was pretty good, while Brett, Kidd, and Froster worried about what their chief would do to them was hilarious. The main thing from this episode was about how firefighters are diagnosed with cancer, not being aware of cleaning their equipment correctly, and that there needs to be an awareness. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.
