After an intense start to the One Chicago 2025 crossover event, Chicago Med season 10, episode 11 picks up with Kidd and Ruzek on the subway car, Trudy at Med, and Archer on the scene trying to deal with injuries.
Our coverage continues here for now. I’ll be switching to Precinct TV for Chicago PD.
Caution: This post contains SPOILERS for Chicago Med season 10, episode 11
Chicago Fire continues into Chicago Med, starting with a focus on Trudy. As Mouch is pushed back so the doctors can work, there’s a discussion about what to do to save her life. The doctors decide to do cold therapy. If they can drop her body temperature, they can stop the bleeding, patch up the gunshots, and then restart her heart.
It’s a scary time for Mouch. Usually, Trudy is the one worrying about him, but he’s on the other side now. He’s also struggling with guilt, because he also wants to be out there helping his team, but he also needs to be here for Trudy. Whatever choice he makes, it’s the wrong one, right? It’s a hard position to be in.
Helping the Jane Doe in Chicago Med season 10, episode 11
During the Chicago Fire episode, Firehouse 51 saved a woman who was covered in severe burns. We pick up with where the doctors are with their Jane Doe victim. A man stands outside the room, but he walks away without giving any information.
When Cook comes in to ask if they can interview Jane Doe, she mentions jump suits. Asher suddenly realizes that they may have one of the bad guys. Sure enough, the jump suit the woman was wearing is wearing one of the jump suits the other bad guys were wearing.
The ever-not-so-caring Lennox doesn’t really care who Jane Doe is. She just wants to treat the patient, and she doesn’t seem to care that there are multiple people trapped and potentially dead if Intelligence can’t speak with Jane Doe. How long is Lennox going to last when she’s so robotic? She does decide that while she won’t do harm to the patient, she does break HIPPA to disclose a condition that could include court records for suing a workplace.
Of course, it turns out that the woman last worked for the city benefits office. It’s no wonder she has a grudge. Was it all worth it?
If you were starting to wonder if Jane Doe was the little girl from Chicago Fire’s mom, then you’ll be happy to know that you were right! Again, I ask, was it worth it?
Kidd and Ruzek deal with the passengers on the subway car
Kidd and Ruzek found themselves trapped on the subway car. Naturally, the passengers are panicked, but they act just the way you would expect. They’re more worried about getting in touch with their loved ones rather than allowing Ruzek get in touch with Burgess once he gets a signal to relay information about events in the subway.
Kidd makes it clear that Ruzek needs to give her all the information. She is on his side down here, and she needs to know what she’s dealing with.
The situation gets worse though. One of the kids on the subway is struggling to breathe. Kidd is able to get a call out to Archer, who asks a series of questions to find out what he has. Of course, it’s serious and Kidd needs to perform a bit of surgery to save him. While that helps, it leads to a bigger issue later. There’s blood in the cavity putting pressure on the lungs.
The call is dropped as there’s another small collapse. This is getting much harder for everyone to manage. What’s interesting, though, is Kidd doesn’t want to speak to Severide throughout all of this. She knows how serious this situation is and she needs to keep her head in the game. She knows Severide’s head needs to stay in the game as well.
That’s okay, because Archer is able to get a message to people on the train. Of course, he needs to rely on someone being able to understand Morse Code. Which, in the world of One Chicago someone does! The college kid who loves biology also loves tech and she’s able to rewire the train system to send a message back. It’s so convenient to have all these people around. Only in a TV show would this happen! I guess we need to suspend belief.
Archer has to make a tough decision to save a life in the One Chicago 2025 crossover
Meanwhile, Archer is outside trying to help the security guard who ended up trapped under rubble. When Archer learns that he has a kidney disorder that requires dialysis, Archer realizes that they can’t lift the rubble. This will lead to a potassium boost that will kill him.
There is only one option to save the life of the security guard. They will need to amputate both of his legs. Suddenly, I wonder how much I would say “Kill me then” if that happened.
Voight continues his look into the attack in Chicago Med
While all this goes on, Voight and Burgess look into the company. They need to get to the bottom of the attack, and that’s the way they can remain calm. It’s not easy, though.
Burgess brings up all sorts of problems she’s running into. Voight isn’t interested, and I don’t blame him. This isn’t about what can’t be done but about what can be done.
Atwater finds something that helps. The three suspects were spotted on cameras in the subway. They disappear somewhere along the way to get into the building, and it takes us all back to the secret tunnels of Al Capone. Is this the way to the subway?
Voight needs to get answers to save the people on the subway, and this pushes us into Chicago PD. Get ready for the last hour of the three-way One Chicago 2025 crossover event.
Chicago Med returns next Wednesday at 8/7c on NBC. Catch up the following day on Peacock.
