Chicago Med season 4 finale preview: With A Brave Heart
What should fans watch for in the Chicago Med season finale? Get ready for With A Brave Heart with our Chicago Med season 4, episode 22 preview.
The Chicago Med season finale has a lot of loose ends to tie up, thanks to several subplots that’ve stretched across multiple episodes, and One Chicago fans could get very upset depending on how it all comes together.
Wednesday’s installment “With A Brave Heart” has a lot happening in it, but there’s one part that is the clear priority in fans’ minds: how the show will handle its cast changes.
Since it was announced that Colin Donnell and Norma Kuhling would not be returning for season 5, there have been a lot of unhappy viewers. And since it was the producers’ decision to drop the actors, this episode should theoretically have a well-written exit for their characters.
After all, they chose to go this way so they not only knew it was coming, they should have planned for it. And they’re essentially going to be showing fans why they felt that Connor and Ava’s story is over.

Based on the events of last week’s episode, Connor’s exit likely has something to do with him reevaluating his life. Not only did he just lose another family member, but that apparently prompted him to second-guess a lot of his family history.
Ava may or may not have something to do with that death, and if she does (which honestly seems like the only option at this point given how far Chicago Med has pushed her character), she’s going to leave the show either fired or in handcuffs.
But what happens to her will have an effect on which way Connor’s storyline goes. Hopefully both of them will get an exit that gives them dignity as well as lots of screen time—even though that doesn’t seem too likely with where the show has taken them.

Putting all the other personal drama aside, the other Chicago Med plotline to watch for involves Maggie Lockwood (Marlyne Barrett). The series has chosen to pull from a story earlier this season in which Maggie donated her kidney to an old acquaintance. As you can watch in the sneak peek clip below, the kidney recipient is back in the ED.
Why is the show returning to that storyline now, when it appeared to be mostly resolved a while ago? That’s the big question. This is something that wrapped up and went away, so there’s got to be a reason fans aren’t aware of for why the writers wanted to revisit it. On this show, that usually means there’s a plot twist—like, unfortunately, someone dying.
Maggie generally hasn’t had a lot of screen time this season, so a second consecutive episode with her having a subplot is welcome in general. But hopefully this plot won’t end tragically after all Maggie did to help this woman out—and because who wants to end this season on a down note? Especially in a finale that’s already going to be somewhat sad because two characters are leaving?
Chicago Med has a lot on the line in its season finale, and now it’s time to see if all of the plates it kept spinning throughout the back half of season 4 stay in the air.
