ONE CHICAGO Women: Chicago Med 1×11, Chicago Fire 4×16 & Chicago P.D. 3×16 recap

We were left with a few questions in the last round of  Chicago Med, Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. episodes, so were those questions answered? Read on and find out with our recap of the ONE CHICAGO women…

Sharon Goodwin: Not only is Sharon dealing with the lawsuit against Dr Will Halstead, but when Sarah shares her concerns over a longtime doctor, Sharon has to let him go. On a more positive note, she also celebrates 32 years of marriage in this episode and Will apologizes to her for all the drama that he’s been causing lately. Sharon also appears in Chicago P.D., showing her support at a candlelight vigil for a six-year-old boy who was tragically murdered.

April Sexton: April’s brother Noah is back on the scene and one would hope during his time away he buckled down to become a better doctor in training. Nope. Instead he’s too busy flirting with the nurses (and eating patients’ food) than actually paying attention to his patients, which then results in him giving the wrong medication to a patient who is allergic. April is torn as to whether to file an incident report on her brother and in the end decides to because she’s not doing him any favours if he’s meant to be learning to become the best doctor that he can be. Also in this episode, April reluctantly shares information about a local doctor and his patient records with Sarah, warning the med student to make sure it can’t be traced back to her.

Dr Natalie Manning: Chicago Med bravely dare to tackle the controversial topic of vaccinations in this episode with Nat and Will treating a young girl who contracted a rare Type B. disease as a result of not being infected. When the two doctors visit the girl’s school to administer booster shots to the other children, the girl’s teacher ends up having an incident from being exposed to the girl and in order to save her life, Nat performs mouth to mouth on the teacher. Since the disease is contracted via saliva, the new mom has now put herself and her newborn son at risk. When Nat and Will return to the hospital, fuelled by his concern for Nat, Will lets it rip at the girl’s parents for being selfish and not vaccinating their children. Speaking of Nat and Will, their kiss from last episode is basically an elephant in the room for most of the episode until finally Nat confronts him about it. She didn’t see it coming because while they are friends, Will has a tendency to treat her like crap and so he admits that he’s like a boy with a crush on a girl and this was him pulling on her pigtails to get her attention.

Maggie Lockwood: As well as making things run smoothly in the ER, Maggie also makes an appearance on Chicago Fire, assisting Sylvie with info for a case. Although Maggie is often used to support the other characters and their storylines, she’s always a fun and interesting character to watch, no matter how little of a role she has. Can someone please hurry up and official make Marlyne Barrett a regular?

Sarah Reese: Sarah may have decided last episode that pathology was her future, but we hope she reconsiders especially after the work she does to crack a case and discovers a disturbing pattern all on her own without the guidance of supervising doctors this week. She is put in a tough situation when she does some digging and realises that a long time doctor (who also happens to be Dr Charles’ doctor) has missed routine diagnosis on four patients recently. The young med student shares her findings with Sharon Goodwin, who warns her that this is a serious accusation to make and when the latest patient passes away at the hospital, Sharon has to let the doctor go.

CHICAGO FIRE — “Two Ts” Episode 416 — Pictured: (l-r) Miranda Rae Mayo as Stella Kidd, Monica Raymund as Gabriela Dawson — (Photo by: Elizabeth Morris/NBC)

Gabriela Dawson: It’s so great to see Dawson having another gal pal to bond with. I am loving the Dawson/Kidd dynamic! Don’t get me wrong, Dawson’s friendship with Brett is great, but it’s a nice change to see Dawson working and being friends with someone more of her equal – both women are smart, independent, confident and not afraid to stick up for themselves. Not to generalize, but I feel like it’s rare to see such similar and strong characters sticking together as opposed to trying to tear each other down so I am hoping Kidd sticks around for a while. Also in Dawson’s world, when Casey’s campaign to run for Alderman takes an ugly turn and he’s ready to give up, it is Dawson who gives him a reality check and convinces him to stay in the game and make the difference in the community that she knows he can.

CHICAGO FIRE — “Two Ts” Episode 416 — Pictured: (l-r) Kara Killmer as Sylvie Brett, Steven R. McQueen as Jimmy Borrelli — (Photo by: Elizabeth Morris/NBC)

Sylvie Brett: After her confession last week, we were wondering if new paramedic partners Brett and Jimmy Borelli would truly be able to work together without any awkwardness and I have to say they work great as a team, so great that I hope the arrangement becomes permanent. When the two respond to a call where a man and his young son are involved in a car accident and the boy cries that he wants to go his mommy’s house despite the father saying that his wife passed away, something doesn’t sit quite right with Brett. Earlier this season you may recall she was unable to separate herself from a call after the job was done and it looks like history is repeating itself with Brett asking Chicago Med‘s Maggie to see if either of them have been in the system and then asking Chicago P.D.‘s Roman to see if the father has a record. Roman discovers that there is an amber alert on him and that the father is wanted for kidnapping his son. Brett, Borelli and Roman catch the man as he tries to flee the hospital with his son and he declares that the mother is a drug addict and that’s why he did what he did. Later on while at the hospital after another call, the paramedics run into the young boy and his mother and Brett realises that the father was telling the truth and confronts the mother, who gets all defensive and threatens to have Brett fired. By this point Brett is pretty worked up so when the mother asks for her name, she yells “Sylvie Brett, with two Ts!” She then tells Borelli that she knows that she’s meant to just let cases go when they’re done and turn off her emotions but she can’t and while it will probably get the best of her someday, she doesn’t care.

CHICAGO P.D. — “The Cases That Need to Be Solved” Episode 316 — Pictured: (l-r) Jon Seda as Antonio Dawson, Marina Squerciati as Kim Burgess — (Photo by: Matt Dinerstein/NBC)

Kim Burgess: Our first glimpse of Burgess in this episode is of her rushing off from a crime scene in tears and with good reason – this week’s case is pretty horrific. A a six-year-old boy is found dead after being shot multiple times, execution style as a supposed act of revenge against his father but even more tragic was that it was a case of mistaken identity. As with Chicago Med, this episode of Chicago P.D. tackles the in-the-news subject of black crime and the way police handle it.

Erin Lindsay: This week’s case is pretty brutal and as with any case involving innocent children, there is even more of an urgency for it to be solved. As well as working hard to find out who is behind the senseless killing of the young boy, Lindsay is also lending a sympathetic ear to those affected by the case. First the young boy, Noah’s mother and then the young cousin of one of the suspects, the latter who just wants to help and do the right thing. She leads Intelligence to the killer after relaying what she witnessed to Lindsay.

Trudy Platt: We see more of Platt in this week’s Chicago Fire than we do in Chicago P.D., as we meet the desk sergeant’s awkward half brother, Logan. He’s in town because Platt suggested to her fiancé Mouch that he make Logan his best man at their wedding, which also means Logan is in charge of Mouch’s bachelor party. When it seems like the bachelor party is going to be a tame geeky affair, Mouch apologises to his firefighter friends for the not-so-fun night they’re about to endure because of him, but when they show up to the party it turns out to be an epic affair featuring lots of strippers. It’s then revealed it was all a set up to deter Mouch and that Platt was actually the one who organised and came up with the whole thing. Does she know her man or what!

Chicago Med airs Tuesdays at 9/8c, Chicago Fire airs Tuesdays at 10/9c and Chicago P.D. airs Wednesdays at 10/9c, all three air on NBC.
