Best episode ever!

Spoiler...... Spoiler..... Spoiler!

Finally we are free of the most irritating character on television, Dr. Halstead! He's always been a poorly written, badly acted, wishy washy waste of time on a good show.

It was great to see Jessica Tuck, from Judging Amy, still looking tasty after all these years.

When is Oliver Platt going to win the Emmy he so richly deserves for playing the amazing Dr. Charles?

And lots of extra points for a surprise appearance by the delicious Torrey DeVito.

BTW, did you know that Torrey DeVito's father played in Billy Joel's band for years?

Now with writer's strike, who knows if we'll ever see new episodes.

10 stars for Will being gone

As with the other 2 reviewers, Will was the worst written character. I am not sure about the actor either. Also no hospital would let this crap happen. He is now meeting up with Natalie who was almost as insufferable as Will at times. They really deserve each other. 😀. I am curious to see who they bring on next year. I watch Chicago Med out of some sort of loyalty to Dick Wolf. I actually think either getting rid of Chicago Med or revamping it entirely so that it is a bit more realistic would be best. I would love to see a medical show where there are more than a few doctors. ER was successful doing that. Hopefully the massive cringe will stop.

Bye bye Mr Sanctmonious

I am glad to see that we are finally rid of the super righteous, sanctimonious, and hypocritical Will Halstead.

His character has gone from a righteous Warrior to a tedious Whiner and consistent breaker of rules and norms who was excused repeatedly because he apparently is on the right side. No hospital in real life would ever allow the shenanigans in which he engaged to continue as they have on this show. The liability risks that he engenders on a regular basis would get his license yanked and render him unemployable. The worst message is that he constantly breaks the rules and takes outrageous risks with very few consequences, which seem to be imposed upon himself rather than by the agencies which should be taking him to task. Worse, he is completely intolerant of anyone else's opinion and disregards them because he is so certain that he is right all the time that he cannot bear for anyone to question him. His self righteousness makes him a danger to himself and others because he simply will not listen to anyone else. While he thinks that he's acting to protect other people, in reality, he endangers them and their careers particularly in this last stunt. He did not have the skill set to pull off the action required to get his way so his impetuousness caused a much more drastic result than was necessary. It SHOULD cost Dr. Song her job for being stupid enough to go along with it. She certainly has the brains and skill to have made a less dramatic malfunction, but St Will the Righteous refuses to consider any long term ramifications of his crusades, so he bullies everyone into doing what he wants. I would hate to have a doctor or scientist who is so emotional in his decisions, but in the Wolf universe, logic and actual science and facts take a back seat to emotions and whims.
