Fans of NBC’s One Chicago franchise were treated to high-stakes drama this week as Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, and Chicago P.D. all delivered intense storylines.
Will Halstead Returns to Gaffney in Chicago Med
In the 200th episode of Chicago Med, original cast member Nick Gehlfuss reprised his role as Dr. Will Halstead, returning to Gaffney alongside his son Owen. Will’s visit coincides with his fiancée Natalie being 20 weeks pregnant, making this a joyful yet complicated homecoming.
However, trouble arises immediately when Will encounters a young patient in the parking lot. The boy, later revealed to be a drug mule transporting cocaine in his stomach, requires urgent care. Will goes above and beyond to ensure the child’s safety, despite being reminded by Goodwin that he is no longer officially on staff.
Meanwhile, hospital staff members navigate personal developments: Hannah’s pregnancy is now public, prompting playful teasing among colleagues, while Ripley and Archer clash over the best approach to treat a patient recovering from limb-lengthening surgery.
