Who’d have thought it would be Chicago Med staging the most notable One Chicago crossover moments of the fall season?!
Already this season, we've seen Chicago Med’s Steven Weber crossing over into Chicago Fire to play a pivotal role in Joe Minoso’s final episodes of the show with Dean treating Cruz following his injury in the season 15 premiere. Then Chicago Med brought in Amy Morton’s Trudy Platt for an unforgettable mini crossover, which gave Platt the chance to shine in a way she’s not been given yet this season on Chicago PD, working a cold case connected to a trio of victims brought into the ED following a fire.
Now, it seems the show is gearing up for yet another crossover moment between its sister series, this time involving one of Chicago PD’s most central characters.
We’re referring to Jason Beghe, who will be dropping in as a guest star in Chicago Med season 12, episode 7, “Borders and Battle Lines.” That’s right, Hank Voight is set to make his first appearance on Chicago Med this season in the show’s final episode before the Thanksgiving break.
Unlike when Morton dropped in for her guest appearance in Chicago Med season 12, episode 5, little is actually known about how Voight will factor into the episode, as he is not referenced in the synopsis for the episode directly. There are certainly a few ways that he could factor into the episode, though, based on what we do know.
One possibility is that he could lend a hand to Goodwin as she prepares to make a move against Miranda. We know that Goodwin has been working to gather intel and put an end to Miranda’s reign of terror, and the episode teases that Goodwin and Charles will be enlisting the help of colleagues, which suggests that the pair are finally ready to make their play in stopping Miranda from gaining even more power by becoming Gaffney CEO.
We know that Voight and Goodwin have a lot of shared history, so perhaps Goodwin enlists his help in looking into Miranda. Goodwin isn’t one to hit below the belt, but with the hospital and its staff’s livelihoods on the line, maybe she’ll turn to Voight for help in digging up skeletons in Miranda’s closet.
Another possibility is that Voight might be connected to Dean’s storyline. The synopsis for the episode teases that Dean gets a surprise, but there is no context as to what this might be. Could it be that the surprise is connected to a police matter? It might seem like a stretch, but if something were going down, it would make sense for Voight to try to give Dean a heads-up directly.
There’s also a chance that Voight could be connected to the storyline involving a husband who is trying to race against time to get a green card as his wife receives critical care. The framing of that storyline suggests that there could be more to the story than the initial tease, so perhaps Voight gets involved when a doctor at the hospital reaches out about information on the man and his situation.
Maybe the man’s name gets flagged by Intelligence when someone at the hospital runs it for information, leading Voight to get involved. This certainly seems like a likely place for the Chicago Med writers to insert Voight into the episode and the inclusion of that particular storyline in the episode synopsis, without any Chicago Med character mentioned directly, hints there will be more to the story, which is where Voight could come into play.
We’ll have to wait until November 18 to find out just how Voight will factor into the episode and how big his role ends up being, but we’re thrilled to know another mini crossover between Chicago Med and Chicago PD is coming!
