Chicago Med‘s fall finale was designed to keep people talking, as two major characters’ fates were left up in the air, with one of them possibly near death. Audiences speculated about whether Sharon Goodwin (S. Epatha Merkerson) would live after being attacked or if Chicago Med’s Archer was leaving the show. Archer is one of Steven Weber’s best roles, and it will leave a large hole in the Chicago Med season 10 cast if he leaves, especially if the worst happens to Sharon.
5Sharon’s Life Hangs In The Balance After An Attack In Her Office
She Was Fighting To Survive As The Credit Rolled
Sharon’s stalker storyline came to an explosive climax just before the final credits rolled. She thought the police had caught her stalker, but they had the wrong person, and the real stalker — the wife of a late patient who blamed Sharon for her partner’s death — broke into her office and held her at knifepoint. While Sharon was able to keep her attacker talking for a while, the woman eventually lost her temper and impulsively stabbed Sharon before feeling bad about it and begging her to wake up.
4Archer Has Officially Resigned From Gaffney Medical (But May Change His Mind)
There Is Still No News On Whether He Is Leaving The Show
Archer appeared to be leaving Chicago Med, but it’s possible he will change his mind. After being demoted to attending, he put his best foot forward and tried to be positive and accepting of Sharon’s decision, but told Hannah (Jessy Schram) privately that he couldn’t deal with not being the ED Chief anymore and thus wanted to resign. Despite Hannah encouraging him to sleep on his decision, he went to Sharon’s office and turned in his letter, but that doesn’t necessarily mean Archer will stick to his original plan.
ER did a similar storyline with Dr. Pratt (Mekhi Phifer) resigning and then un-resigning after being passed over for ED Chief that may or may not point to what could happen with Archer.
3Lenox Is Now The Sole Person In Charge Of Gaffney Med’s Emergency Department
Archer was demoted after a prolonged battle with newcomer Caitlin Lenox (Sarah Ramos). Lenox is young, idealistic, and assertive, and her ideas for reform have not been popular with most of the staff, but Archer had a particularly difficult time dealing with her because he was expected to share the ED Chief duties with her and didn’t agree with any of her opinions. Thus, he waited until the right time to strike and try to get rid of her.
Depending on how she handles this crisis, Lenox could either repair her reputation with the staff or become even more disliked.
2Reese And Charles Reunited For The First Time Since Reese’s Leaving In Chicago Med Season 4
They Butted Heads Again, But That May Not Be The End Of Her Story
Sarah Reese (Rachel DiPillo) returned in the fall finale for the first time since season 4, only to butt heads with Charles (Oliver Platt) again and cause a bigger rift between them. When Reese initially left, she was unhappy because she believed Charles allowed her father to die of a heart attack. When she became the first former Chicago Med character to return in season 10 after her patient was admitted for a suspected drug overdose, she and Charles acted friendly toward one another, but it didn’t last.
1Sully’s Terminal Illness Is Set Up To Test Hannah & Mitchell’s Relationship
His Presence Has Been A Problem For The Couple Throughout Season 10
Chicago Med’s Hannah and Mitchell had a lot of problems thanks to the way Mitchell deals with his friend Scully’s behavior. Sully is an old friend from Mitchell’s (Luke Mitchell) old neighborhood that he used to get into trouble with as a teenager and who hasn’t outgrown his destructive tendencies. During the first half of season 10, Hannah and Mitchell broke up temporarily after Mitchell insisted on taking the fall for Sully beating up troublemaker Pavel and Hannah disapproved.
The way Mitchell handles Sully’s terminal prognosis could create more conflict between him and Hannah, especially if he shuts her out or does anything questionable to try to extend Sully’s life.
