Chicago Med’s new episodes have started rolling out for Season 8, and the next one is going to feature an intriguing guest star.
On the Chicago Med winter premiere, viewers got to see Dr. Justin Lieu (played by Ivan Shaw) become a much more significant part of the show.
With all of the cast exits that have already taken place this fall, it was good to see someone fresh get a primary storyline.
And on this next new episode, Dr. Lieu is getting advertised as well, with his gym friend experiencing a big accident that lands him in the hospital.
The new episode is called It Is What It Is, Until It Isn’t, hinting pretty heavily that someone is going to be referencing the health of a patient while stating that phrase.
“Crockett and Charles treat Justin’s gym buddy. Maggie and Will help a robbery-homicide suspect. Hannah and Archer use Med’s new opiate abuse A.I. program,” reads the full synopsis for the new episode.
