Chicago Med season 6, episode 4 recap.

This week’s Chicago Med was a variation on the show’s most common theme: doctors getting in trouble, but somehow getting away in the end.

Wednesday’s episode “In Search of Forgiveness, Not Permission” involved Dr. Natalie Manning (Torrey DeVitto) and Dr. Crockett Marcel (Dominic Rains) working together again and ending up in the boss’s office. But that wasn’t the only place they ended up.

Meanwhile, Dr. Will Halstead (Nick Gehlfuss) further waded into the ethically murky waters of his clinical trial. Would he strike out again or finally get the ball rolling?

Conversations

While Dr. Daniel Charles (Oliver Platt) welcomes Goodwin and her son Michael (guest star Hampton Fluker) back to work, Natalie and Crockett bump into each other in the ED. When pushed, Natalie asks Maggie Lockwood (Marlyne Barrett) about being “hypothetically” attracted to Crockett. Maggie questions if Crockett is Natalie’s type, and Natalie just shrugs. She’s not fooling anybody.

Charles goes to have a session with Dr. Ethan Choi (Brian Tee), who talks about all the extra work he has to do now that he’s chief of the ED. Charles tells him to take it easy on his staff because “people are just exhausted” by the added stress of the pandemic. Choi responds by saying when he told his Marine CO he was exhausted, he was told “You can rest when it’s over.” Another phone call sends him walking out the door.

Choi speaks to another doctor about a patient named Drew, and tells his colleagues that they can’t do compressions on said patient because of the risk of COVID-19 exposure. Instead they have to go right to the defibrillator, and the man dies. Choi tells the staff “We did everything we could,” but based on the glares they’re giving him, they don’t agree.
