At least once in every season of Chicago Med, there is an episode where things go from dramatic to full-on chaotic. “You Just Might Find You Get What You Need” is that episode for Season 9. The episode includes a helicopter that almost crashes, another shooting outside of the hospital, a woman who allegedly jumped off a balcony and something that is definitely not the flu. Visually and in terms of cases, this is an hour that’s not great if someone’s squeamish.
But all of that doesn’t make an episode; what matters is what happens to the characters through all of these events. Season 9, Episode 10 has some solid plotlines for Steven Weber, Oliver Platt and Marlyne Barrett — the latter of which is especially appreciated given what’s happened to Maggie since Season 8. It’s an episode with flaws, but it is one that reminds viewers that these doctors and nurses can be great at their work if they’re not getting pulled away by personal problems.
Chicago Med Almost Follows After NBC’s Transplant
We’re Gonna Need Another Helicopter
As Maggie and Loren return from a routine flight to deliver an organ for transplant, ice begins collecting on the helicopter’s rotor blades and forces Loren to put the aircraft down suddenly in the woods. It’s not technically a crash because he’s able to land the plane and it’s also not mechanically damaged, but for purposes of the plot, it works. The point is for Maggie and Loren (returning guest star Henderson Wade) to have to express the feelings they’ve been so obvious about all season, and what more TV dramatic way than by giving Loren a medical emergency so that Maggie has to save his life? Watching her treat Loren involves a fair amount of cringe-worthy moments, but the severity of the situation is established enough to make the actual point — the emotional point — valid.
