Brian Tee finally returns to Chicago Med this week (but he’s not sticking around)
By Cody Schultz
Dr. Ethan Choi is finally about to make his way to Chicago Med! That’s right, Brian Tee is finally about to scrub back into NBC’s hit medical drama for the first time this year.
When fans last saw Ethan way back in episode 8, it looked like he was about to finally make his way back to Med. Unfortunately, he pushed himself a bit too far and ended up experiencing a setback in his recovery which left him in need of more rehab following another surgery.
Since then, Ethan has only come up in conversation with his recovery once again unfolding off-screen due to Tee’s limited availability in filming on Amazon’s Expats. The good news is that Tee will finally return in this week’s new episode, “What You Don’t Know Can’t Hurt You,” which promises to offer up an update on Ethan’s recovery.
Not only will we get the chance to check in on Ethan, but the episode promises to also provide him with a meaty storyline as he struggles with whether to reconcile with this father under the advisement of Charles (Oliver Platt).
While we’ll finally get to see Ethan back in action tonight, we regret to inform you Brian Tee isn’t yet back for good as he’s expected to miss several more episodes following his return this week.
When will Brian Tee return to Chicago Med?
Following his return in episode 12, Brian Tee will once again step away from Chicago Med for several more episodes before finally returning in a more regular role.

As revealed by Chicago Med executive producer Diana Frolov in an interview with TV Insider, while the writers were able to secure Tee for an appearance in episode 12, his official return to the show won’t come until the end of the season. As Frolov revealed at the time, Ethan will finally return for good in episode 18 with the expectation being for Tee to then appear in the final episodes of the show’s current seventh season.
