Chicago Med returned Wednesday night from its latest hiatus.
When we last saw the show, Dr. Mitch Ripley nearly died saving a mother and daughter from a well.
Mouch from Chicago Fire showed up to help, but a cave-in nearly took out Ripley.
The episode ended with Dr. Hannah Asher expressing her love for Ripley.
Earlier that night, a woman from Dr. John Frost’s past appeared at the hospital.
He explained that she had played his TV mom (Ainsley Towne) when he was a kid, but he seemed very nervous about her arrival. Nurse Maggie could also tell there was more to the story.
Chicago Med Season 10, Episode 16 recap
The new episode began with a woman being wheeled into the hospital who had been in a coma for 20+ years. It appeared she might be waking up.
Elsewhere, Ripley was recovering in a hospital bed. Dr. Daniel Charles told him the people he had rescued would be released later that day (they were doing well).
Ripley and Asher had decided to address their relationship later.
Sharon Goodwin told Dr. Caitlin Lenox that a car accident had led to the woman’s coma that Med was dealing with. Goodwin revealed she was there years ago and pushed for a surgery that was conducted, but the woman (Josephine) slipped into a coma. The mother had been upset about it since then.
Dr. Howard learned she got a spot at Gaffney, where her career could expand. She would continue working at the hospital.
Tests revealed the woman in the coma was being woken up by a brain tumor that needed to be removed. The thing that was waking her up was also killing her.
Dr. Lenox’s brother showed up again, looking for a place to stay. She was hesitant but gave him a key to her place.
Frost had a young boy as a patient who felt guilty about his sexuality and was giving himself a form of conversion therapy.
Maggie asked Frost if he was okay later, as he seemed distracted. Frost revealed that he was in a relationship with Ainsley as a teen, and she was in her 30s at the time. He lashed out when Maggie pushed about it being inappropriate for Ainsley to do.
Ainsley got upset with Frost when he mentioned that he was unsure about spending time with her.
The surgery went well for Josephine, and the brain tumor was removed. Toward the end of the episode, she woke up.
Later, Goodwin told Ripley he had been reinstated.
Lenox went out for drinks with her co-workers. It happened after her brother urged her to do so.
