In “Down in a Gap,” Ripley struggles to rescue a girl and her daughter trapped in an deserted effectively. It’s a mini crossover with Chicago Fireplace, with Ripley and Mouch (Christian Stolte) as soon as once more sharing the display screen. No less than this time, it’s not with a beloved one’s life hanging within the stability. Though, it’s Ripley’s flip to finish up in some hazard …. Under, Mitchell previews the episode.
How is Ripley doing going into this episode? He’s been suspended. There was that kiss with Lynn. Then he tells Hannah he loves her, just for her to say it’s not sufficient.
Luke Mitchell: He’s not nice. He’s not nice in any respect. Yeah, it’s type of a wild experience that he’s on in the intervening time. It simply seems like after every episode that he’s simply going additional and additional downward. And I worry that he has to hit all-time low, metaphorically, and possibly bodily.

He’s a really skilled actor.
Discuss filming this episode.
It was surreal. It didn’t really feel like we’re capturing an episode of Chicago Med. It felt like we have been capturing an unbiased film as a result of we had three days out on location form of an hour and a half out of Chicago. And as , Chicago Med, we shoot all interiors mainly, 99 p.c. And so it was simply actually loopy to be out on location capturing exterior, and it simply occurred to be a chilly snap in Chicago. It was like an arctic blast. We have been actually capturing in some chilly temperatures, in order that was actually cool. We had all these hearth vehicles and ambulances and cop automobiles and information vehicles, and it felt like a giant deal.
The promo teases that Ripley leads to hazard after some form of collapse. What are you able to tease about that? How a lot hassle is Ripley going to be in?
Ripley’s in the entire hassle. That is a minimum of a near-death expertise. I feel it’s going to be one thing that shakes him and lots of people up.
