Chicago Med season 4, episode 13 recap: Ghosts in the Attic

Connor and Ava

Chicago Med‘s most turbulent couple were at it again this week. Dr. Ava Bekker (Norma Kuhling) was expecting an apology from Dr. Connor Rhodes (Colin Donnell), who wasn’t going to give her one because he still believed she had slept with his father.

Connor helped out an HIV-positive man who had been involved in a motorcycle accident, but he didn’t page Ava. Unfortunately, he needed her because (an off-screen) Dr. Isidore Latham refused to let him operate on the patient because the man was HIV-positive. The only way Connor could go ahead with the surgery was to get Ava to sign off instead, and she agreed—while making clear she wasn’t doing it for him.

Despite that, she still tried to get him to have a drink with her. Connor was surprised by that, and asked if she had agreed to do the surgery because of him, which Ava admitted she did. That was one more time her words didn’t match her actions.

But then Chicago Med took another dramatic turn. Ava was somehow cut by Connor’s scalpel, which was twice as serious given the patient’s HIV-positive status. While Connor apologized, Ava insisted she was fine (and worried about her career).

Connor still felt guilty, because that’s what he does, going so far as to turn up at Ava’s apartment with an apology gift. And the show rubbed it in by having one of the staff members tell him how careful Ava usually is. Was something not right here?
