Spoilers forward for Episode 19 of Chicago Med Season 10, referred to as “The Tales We Inform Ourselves” and accessible streaming now with a Peacock subscription.
Imagine it or not, One Chicago followers, the top of the spring 2025 TV schedule is nigh, with no information but from NBC about whether or not Chicago Med, Chicago Fireplace, and Chicago P.D. shall be again within the fall. The percentages appear fairly nice, nonetheless, and the top of “The Tales We Inform Ourselves” has me pondering Hannah’s future in Season 11 way over worrying about whether or not Season 11 will ever occur. The Gaffney’s ED OB/GYN made a daring provide to her sister, with Dr. Archer losing no time in stating all of the issues.
Chicago Med Is Operating Out Of Episodes
First issues first! With the exceptions of TV seasons reduce brief by COVID manufacturing shutdowns and the SAG-AFTRA/WGA writers strikes, most up-to-date seasons of Chicago Med have run for 22 episodes, and that may evidently be the case once more for the present tenth season. That complete implies that solely three episodes are left after the top of “The Tales We Inform Ourselves,” which doesn’t look like practically sufficient time to resolve Hannah’s storyline from Episode 19… until Med rapidly establishes that the story is not going wherever.
Primarily based on the promo, it would not seem like the following episode goes to place a lot concentrate on Hannah’s storyline. Test it out:
Watch On
After all, appears may be deceiving, and my cash is on the photographs of nurses coughing simply being edited in a means to boost the ED nurses faking sick to go on strike after failing contract negotiations. That does not imply the storyline shall be uninteresting, although. In any case, the medical doctors aren’t the one ones who’re used to at all times having the nurses round. Med characters needn’t have an M.D. to be mains!
Hannah’s Massive Story
I used to be a bit of involved about Hannah within the final episode earlier than “The Tales We Inform Ourselves,” as a result of performing a hysterectomy to avoid wasting her sister’s life was a devastating choice, and never one which Lizzy may admire instantly. In truth, it jogged my memory of the episode earlier in Season 10 that started off with Hannah bashfully admitting that she may need youngsters at present, just for a tragic flip with a affected person.
Seeing Hannah’s guilt about Lizzy’s hysterectomy instantly made me suspicious that she was going to supply to be the surrogate for her sister’s final remaining embryo, particularly after Lizzy stated that one in all her hangups was the thought of “trusting a complete stranger” to hold her solely remaining likelihood at having a organic youngster of her personal.
To her credit score, Hannah floated the thought by Archer earlier than instantly getting her sister’s hopes up by making the provide, though their bonding – probably involving Captain Crunch Berries – from a couple of weeks earlier did not imply that he wasn’t nonetheless a little bit of a curmudgeon with how he expressed his ideas.
When he did not purchase her makes an attempt to dodge his questions on her blood draw, she stated that she was contemplating providing to hold Lizzy’s child for her. It was clear instantly that she did not have his wholehearted help, since his instant response to studying that the sisters hasn’t mentioned it but was “Oh, thank God.” He then heaped some causes on her why it may be a nasty thought:
Hear, I do know you wish to assist your sister, however there’s some very severe issues to think about… It is exceedingly onerous to surrender a baby… Being pregnant’s a really emotional expertise and also you develop an attachment to a baby. That is primal.
Hannah countered every of his arguments with a degree of her personal, together with the nice line of “You are actually attempting to mansplain to a being pregnant to an OB/GYN?” Nonetheless, I am unable to assist however have a look at Archer’s viewpoint as doable foreshadowing of what Hannah may take care of in Season 11. She advised Archer to “keep out of it” if he is not going to be supportive, however I doubt that’ll stay the case!
After all, nothing was formally determined by the top of the episode, with their last scene ending earlier than Lizzy may agree (or not agree) to the provide, and there are nonetheless a couple of episodes left earlier than the top of Season 10. Hannah made the massive provide, although, dismissing Lizzy’s protest that Hannah would not owe her something. In response to Hannah, she’s simply “desirous to see my huge sister grow to be a mother so I can watch her and learn the way.”
So, is that this a storyline that begins in Episode 19 and ends earlier than the closing credit of Episode 22? I am unable to rule something out with the quick tempo of One Chicago, however I would be enthusiastic about seeing in play out in Season 11. For now, I will simply cross my fingers {that a} renewal comes sooner moderately than later.
One Chicago is occurring a short break, however shall be again with new episodes on Wednesday, Might 7 on NBC, with Med again in its common 8 p.m. ET time slot. You too can revisit days passed by streaming with the medical drama streaming on Peacock.
