Spoilers forward for the autumn finale of Chicago Med Season 10, referred to as “Love Will Tear Us Aside.”
There’s nowhere in primetime fairly like NBC’s One Chicago with regards to disturbing finale cliffhangers, and Chicago Med went farther to shut out the 2024 TV schedule than even I imagined! “Love Will Tear Us Aside” resolved the thriller of the particular person stalking Goodwin and threatening her life, however it did not finish with one of many Chicago P.D. cops making an arrest. Goodwin was stabbed, and Archer is her solely hope… however he won’t be capable to save her. It was a twist that can have me confused till Med returns within the 2025 TV schedule, however dang it, the ultimate pictures of the episode had been wonderful.
The massive reveal of Goodwin’s stalker was anyone who appeared earlier in Season 10: Cassidy. If that title does not ring a bell, it did not for Goodwin both till her attacker defined: her spouse was Wendy, one in every of two important sufferers who wanted the final obtainable items of blood again within the Season 10 premiere. Wendy died when the person who brought about the disaster received the blood per Goodwin’s choice, and Cassidy needed revenge.
And sadly, Goodwin was purported to be out for the Thanksgiving vacation, so the same old parade of tourists wasn’t visiting her workplace to come back to her rescue after she was stabbed. She outsmarted Cassidy by distracting her lengthy sufficient to get to her cellphone, however an unfortunately-timed name from Maggie alerted her that Goodwin was hiding the machine. The 2 simply sat there at midnight, with Goodwin slowly however certainly bleeding.
Her potential savior got here in an unlikely type: Archer, decided to depart Gaffney after Goodwin demoted him from co-ED Chief and saved Lenox within the prime job. Regardless of promising Hannah that he’d give the choice 24 hours earlier than handing over his letter of resignation, his thoughts was made up and he went to slip the envelope beneath Goodwin’s door. Cassidy coated Goodwin’s mouth as quickly as she heard anyone shifting within the hallway, which may have been the tip…
Besides that is Sharon Goodwin we’re speaking about! When Cassidy turned her head simply sufficient, the nurse-turned-administrator grabbed a bottle, bashed her attacker over the pinnacle, and made a run for it into the hallway, staggering to catch Archer earlier than he took the elevator down. Within the remaining moments of the episode, Cassidy stalked up behind her and loomed to stab her within the again… simply because the elevators closed on Archer.
It is laborious to do the ultimate shot of Cassidy standing over Goodwin justice in a nonetheless body, and it is best to undoubtedly watch (or rewatch) the episode with a Peacock subscription for the total expertise, however I feel Archer’s horrified response says all of it:
Am I now confused about Goodwin’s destiny, and can stay so after I take into consideration Chicago Med within the coming weeks forward of the winter premiere within the new 12 months? Sure, however that is not a nasty factor with regards to One Chicago. If something, I take it as additional proof of how Steven Weber described Med “getting gritty” with a brand new showrunner this season. The ultimate shot of “Love Will Tear Us Aside” is worthy of a horror film, in the easiest way.
In the easiest way so long as Goodwin survives, recovers, and participates within the three-part One Chicago crossover, that’s! For now, try the promo for the winter premiere:
Watch On
It seems to be like Chicago Med goes to select up within the new 12 months proper the place it left off. Whereas it is not nice information for Goodwin that Archer could not cease the elevator as quickly as he noticed her stumble out of her workplace, I might say {that a} former Navy trauma surgeon is a good particular person to depend on to avoid wasting the day!
