Chicago Med, Previews

Charles is back from his time off on Chicago Med Season 11 Episode 11, “Our So-Called Lives.” The time he took to process the change of his medication and figure out what he wanted to do next might be rattled by the presence of old med school friends.

When they come in to figure out what’s wrong with the wife, Charles realizes there is something there that is awakening a resentment. Can that be put aside in order to get them the treatment they need?

Meanwhile, Ripley meets Sully’s wife to celebrate the one-year anniversary of his passing and honor him the best way they know how. However, this might lead to talking about Lenox and the new “relationship” forming between the two doctors.
