Chicago Med - Deliver Us - Review

“I’m worried that you’re going to hurt yourself.”


Robin officially checks in for a psych evaluation, and Sarah is her resident. I hate to say it, but I’m liking Dr. Charles less and less each week. It’s clear that he had something to do with putting Sarah on Robin’s case, most likely to get access to Robin’s treatment. I understand he’s a concerned father, but he has proven to be manipulative and somewhat hypocritical in the past. I know! He’s Dr. Charles, who always says the right thing and is just an all-around sweet man. But he’s been off lately and I’m worried.

While we’re on the subject, he tricks Robin so he can take her keys to her apartment. It’s not a pretty scene—there are rat traps everywhere, the walls are broken…just a disaster. Upon seeing the apartment, Daniel has Robin committed and doesn’t exactly do so in the best way. I was so proud of Sarah, who finally stood up to Daniel and told him off for going behind her back with Robin. She’s a darn good doctor and knew that Robin needed to be admitted, but was well on her way to earning her trust first. Now, all that trust has been shattered, which will make Robin’s story—along with how Sarah, Daniel, and Connor factor in—all the more interesting.

Can we also just discuss for a second that Robin is supposedly only 25? No way. If you go right into med school after college, that puts graduation at roughly 26, maybe 25. But Robin has been established as a successful epidemiologist, not someone who is just beginning residency. So 25? I call foul. Major foul.

“Anyone who refuses to learn from their mistakes is going to repeat them.”


Jay stops by Chicago Med to talk Will into catching a hockey game with him that night. Is it wishful thinking to want an episode just about the Halstead brothers? Yes? I know. But still, it would be wonderful. Will can’t think too long on hockey though, as work and personal drama quickly take over. Natalie and Will flirt a bit in the hall, and Nina notices. That jealousy gets the best of Nina when she makes a point to deliver an autopsy report straight to Natalie, who missed a diagnosis on the deceased patient.

Will is quick to defend Natalie, as always. Not only does he defend her medical decisions, but he also takes her side with the whole Nina issue. It initially made me think that this was finally the end for Will and Nina, but no such luck. Not only do Will and Nina make up, but when Natalie later confronts Will and asks if they are just good friends, he says yes. Liar! He knows it too, right? These two are not just good friends. And perhaps it will take seeing Natalie go to a hockey game with Jay for Will to see that. I don’t for a second think anything will happen between Natalie and Jay (as he has his own relationship drama with Erin on Chicago PD), but an innocent outing between the two might be the catalyst Will needs to see things clearly.

“We said we would do anything.”


Connor, later with the help of Natalie, works on the toughest case of the week. Gale Parks is pregnant and having serious breathing issues, which end up being a heart condition. The surgery she needs would likely kill the baby, which Gale is vehemently against—because the baby is a perfect match for her daughter who has leukemia. Oh boy.

Gale is in heart failure, and Connor recommends terminating the pregnancy to save her life. Because Leah, her daughter, will die without a transplant within the year, terminating is not an option. Gale is forced to choose between a surgery that would most likely kill the baby and going into a medically induced coma that she’d never recover from. How about door number three? The much riskier option is the surgery without bypass, which gives the baby a better chance. But, heart surgery without bypass means a crazy amount of blood and not a lot of visibility.

Meanwhile, sweet Leah is tired of everything revolving around her. She’s a kid, but she knows what’s going on. This family dynamic was so heartbreaking—a mom willing to die for her daughter and a daughter who just wants a mom. Ultimately, the risky surgery without bypass is successful for Gale, but the baby doesn’t survive. What does that mean for Leah? Will we see her again?

“You can’t keep having other people carry your water for you.”


Dr. Stohl is back in all his annoying glory to give the med students their final bit of training. They are tasked with figuring out what’s causing Mr. Dean’s irregular heartbeat. Though Noah has made incredible progress this season as a character, he’s still lazy by default. He finally gets the tough love push he needs, and it unsurprisingly comes from Ethan. April and Ethan squabble over his methods, but April knew Ethan was right. You know what else? I see serious romantic potential between April and Ethan. I saw it a few weeks ago and didn’t say anything, because it was quite possibly me reading into things way too much. But now? Guys, I just feel it. I think it could happen. I loved Tate, but I am firmly behind an Ethan/April pairing.

Back to Noah—he’s going to be a good doctor, guys. He took Ethan’s advice and found the correct diagnosis for Mr. Dean. In the process, he proved that he has the brains, it’s just the drive that is sometimes lacking. I hope Noah keeps this newfound drive (thanks to the fear he has of Ethan), because it makes him such an enjoyable character. Perhaps a series regular upgrade for next season? I wouldn’t object. Speaking of med students in need of a series regular upgrade, Clark, anyone?


What did you think of the episode? How will Robin’s story progress? What are the chances we see Noah and/or Clark as residents at Med next year? Is the end in sight for Will and Nina? Is a romantic beginning on the horizon for Ethan and April? Share your thoughts below!
