In tonight’s Chicago Med episode, Maggie was still on the outs with her husband. He trusted her to be honest with him and she withheld vital information from him. She didn’t tell him that she was in a car accident because she was covering up the fact that she had been in the car with another man.
Someone from her past. Someone she still had feelings for or else why lie? Maggie almost kissed her ex and that distracted them to the point they got into a car accident. She then tried to lie about it. She convinced everyone she works with and who was friends with both her and her husband to then lie about it. And now she’s left with a broken marriage.
Maggie was still trying to get her husband to talk to her when her work life intervened. The waiting room at Chicago Med was full to the point of overflowing. There was a bad ice storm in Chicago that night. There were a lot of people that were just coming in to get warm and to have a blanket, but this ice storm had also created real accidents.
Nina came in with a broken pelvis because she tried lighting her gas stove in order to keep her and her nephew warm. She began experiencing carbon monoxide and that’s how she fell and broke her pelvis.
All Nina was trying to do was to stay warm and it almost kills her. There was also Felix. Felix has Bipolar II. He was also known to be non-compliant. Sometimes he goes off his medications for no other reason than feeling great one day and believing he no longer needs the meds.
Felix went out into the storm. He developed frostbite on his feet. He went to the hospital to get treated. They put his feet in warm water while they tried to get his pressure back up and Maggie rushed him out of the bed because she said they were too full to let Felix take up space.
Only Maggie decided to put him on a cot in a hallway. She thought that he would get warm in the hospital and that everything would be okay, but she had been wrong. Felix ended up getting stabbed while he was in the hallway. Maggie later found him bleeding out as she was walking around.
She had been with Sharon at the time and a patient getting stabbed sent up an alarm. They had to put the whole hospital on alert. Dr. Crockett Marcel was called in to treat Felix. Dr. Daniel Charles was also called because he was Felix’s therapist.
No one knew how a man got stabbed on their watch. Sharon hadn’t wanted to go as far as to call a Code Silver because that would force them to empty the hospital and send people out into one of the worst ice storms in Chicago’s history. She instead decided to go with the approach of gently notifying staff of there being issue. She didn’t want anyone getting into a panic. She also couldn’t rely on CPD for help because they were overwhelmed with distress calls and so the stabbing had to be handled in-house.
Maggie blamed herself for what happened to Felix. She felt if she hadn’t put him on a cot he would have been fine and Maggie was so stuck on repeat in beating herself up that she lashed out at the other nurses. Her friends. This only got worse after Crockett was unable to fully patch up Felix. The knife had broken off when he got stabbed and the point was now stuck in his liver. There was no safe way to remove it. Maggie couldn’t handle it when she got told that part. She was angry. She was short-tempered with every one and this storm has only brought out the worse in her.
It did the same for Dr. Dean Archer. His son Sean came to the hospital with his friend, Clint. They pretended that Clint got jumped while he was picking up groceries and what actually happened was that Clint got injured during a bad drug buy. He was on so many drugs that Archer found it in his bloodstream. Which was when he began to worry for his own son. Sean was also an addict and he was staying at a halfway house because he just got out of prison. Archer couldn’t have Clint bringing down Sean or helping Sean to get high again. And so he confronted his son.
Sean called his dad overbearing. He said this was why they lied. They got into an argument and Archer would have gotten even angry if he didn’t have another patient waiting for him. Archer was helping a woman by the name of Katie deliver her baby. Katie has preeclampsia. Her very life was in danger and yet Dr. Hannah Asher was nowhere around. She first got stuck in her driveway. She then tried slowly driving out when she came across a scene of a car accident. She went to go check on the people that were trapped inside. They were injured. And not long after she finished dragging people out of the car the car itself exploded.
The short diversion also forced her car to get stuck again. She was now trapped outside with two people that clearly needed medical attention and all they had was her. An OBGYN. Hannah called work to ask for help to be sent to her location. They couldn’t reach her because even their ambulances were struggling during the storm. Only Sean had overheard his dad talking about Hannah’s situation. He then took his truck and went looking for her. He eventually found her and rescued Hannah as well as the people she saved.
Sean was a hero himself. His actions at least assured Archer that his son was still a good person. Archer meanwhile delivered Katie’s baby with the help of the resident Dr. Zach Hudgins. Archer was proud of Zach’s quick handling of Katie and he allowed Zach to handle a patient on his own. Zach was handling a patient that Maggie found. Maggie was forced to take a break because she hadn’t slept in hours and rather than sleeping – she found a new patient that got stuck at the back door. Her name was Heidi. She slipped on the ice and broke her ankle.
Maggie brought Heidi to the ED. She overheard Heidi start to spiral out as Zach was treating her and so she stepped in right as Heidi pulled out a knife. Heidi slashed Maggie. Zach then sedated her before she could hurt anyone else. It turns out Heidi was their stabber. She was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia. She hasn’t had any consistent care in almost ten years and she admitted to stabbing Felix because she thought he talked too loud and was too close to her.
And Dr. Will Halstead ended up saving Nina’s life with Dr. Grace Song’s help. Grace initially didn’t want to permit surgery because she thought Nina would waste too much blood and they were short-handed as it was. Except she ignored her findings because Will pulled on her heartstrings. He reminded her that Nina was all her nephew has. His parents died over a year ago. His aunt was the last living relative and he would get put in foster care if it wasn’t for her. And so they saved Nina’s life. They wasted the blood and Grace got called out by a surgeon.
So, Grace went back to focusing on data instead of people.
Crockett meanwhile used the OR 2.0 to save Felix’s life and he noticed some glitches in the OR’s programming. He tried to talk about it with Jack. Jack fobbed him off because he didn’t really see an issue and so he’s ignoring the problems that are there.
And Ben showed up at the end of Maggie’s shift because he wanted to take her home.
THE END!
