Chicago Med returns with a new episode called The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From the Teacher on Wednesday night.
Episode titles almost always refer to a quote that is going to be made or an event during the night, so this definitely suggests that a student whose teacher works in the ED is going to be involved in an important subplot.
Could that title refer to Dr. Ethan Choi, with his teacher, Dr. Dean Archer, now serving as the head of the ED?
The flashy TV promo suggests that a lot of time is going to be spent on Dr. Crockett Marcel trying to pull off a rescue while he is out on the street.
Chicago Med has done a lot of episodes where its doctors just happened to be close to an accident taking place, and it looks like that is about to happen again.
On the last episode of Chicago Med, Sharon Goodwin was worried about the ED becoming the Wild West, so we may see the writers revisit the troubles going on with the supply chain for the hospital.

Chicago Med TV promo for October 12 episode
Below is the TV promo that is running on NBC, and it shows Dr. Crockett Marcel leaping into action following a subway accident in Chicago.
The insinuation within the promo is that Marcel is going to have to operate on someone without transporting them to the hospital first.
