A new episode of Chicago Med debuts on Wednesday night, with the plot revolving around the transplant surgery for Dr. Dean Archer.
Archer has been dealing with kidney failure, but a donor finally surfaced in the form of his son. Now, his son is ready to give his father one of his kidneys.
But it wouldn’t be a One Chicago show without an episode where something threatened to take away that kidney.
Actor Steven Weber joined the Chicago Med cast in 2021, bringing energy on the opposite end of the spectrum from other ED doctors.
Archer came over from the military and had a friendship with Dr. Ethan Choi (Brian Tee).
The first Chicago Med Season 9 episode brought everyone up to speed on Archer’s predicament, introduced a new cast member, and revealed Dr. Daniel Charles has ties to the new guy.
