Hello, my fellow stargazers and TV binge-watchers! Are we tired of the melodramatic tearjerkers on “Chicago Med” yet, or what? I mean, today’s Cancer moon should be having us all nurturing, protective, and ready to embrace new life – not mourning it! Our beloved show seems to have a bit of a different take, making every maternity ward visit feel more like a surprise horror flick than a celebration of new beginnings.
This week’s episode, where yet another hopeful couple’s anticipation for their bundle of joy gets smothered faster than a candle in Chicago’s gusty winds, feels particularly heavy under this emotionally charged astrological sign. Here I am thinking, should we just start a support group for these medically unfortunate viewers? It’s like watching a soap opera where every episode ends with someone wishing they could hospital hop onto another, less heart-wrenching show.
But hey, let’s not let the drama get us too down. As much as I’m scratching my head over these plot choices, kudos to the writers for keeping the ratings up with their emotional rollercoaster narrative. And while we’re at it, let’s give a shout-out to the stars behind the scenes ensuring this unique blend of entertainment and astrology keeps pulling on our heartstrings. Ever notice how the most dramatic episodes always seem to align with those intense planetary transits? Coincidence? I think not, my friends!
Now, for those genuinely concerned about where Maggie and Sharon were tonight… are they perhaps out there having a much-needed therapy session with the stars, or was tonight’s guest star, the missing-in-action doctor, just too busy tending to the cosmic alignment to grace our screens? It’s a mystery, and I’m here for it – as long as these celestial shenanigans keep the show stirring, I’m in! LEARN MORE (Original Source URL)!
(shares some astrological insights) You know, with Venus transiting through a critical chart sector, these scenarios might just be setting the stage for some serious character development or… you guessed it… another round of nostalgic, tear-jerking drama. Stay tuned, my cosmic TV enthusiasts, because the stars are aligning for more than just medical chaos in future episodes – and yes, we all need the tissues ready!
And remember, if you’re looking to delve deeper into these astrological influences or just want to share your thoughts on “Chicago Med’s” strategy to keep us all in a state of perpetual empathy, hit those comments, share, or keep reading. Your support powers this indie TV coverage, and I, for one, am eternally thankful we’re in this for all that the stars have up for us. Here’s to hoping our favorite doctors find a bit of cosmic luck next time around!
We need to talk (again) about tragic baby stories on Chicago Med.
Chicago Med Season 10 Episode 18 was a solid episode, but I’m over the unnecessary baby deaths.
Yes, these things happen, and they’re sad. But Chicago Med Season 10 Episode 18 again showed that a healthy pregnancy is the exception, rather than the rule, at Gaffney.
This story was a minor subplot, or so it seemed, until Lizzie’s baby died and the D&C led to an emergency hysterectomy.
I guess this is supposed to create new conflict for Lizzie and Hannah — their estrangement for five years after Hannah finally got sober wasn’t enough anymore.
But it was also yet another in a long series of baby deaths on Chicago Med. In fact, Hannah nearly relapsed after the last one on Chicago Med Season 10 Episode 3.
I found that one more upsetting.
I just didn’t have enough of a connection to Lizzie to care, and it felt like this was cheap drama.
First, she loses the baby, then she gets Dean to bend the rules so that Hannah can operate on her (despite the questionable ethics), and then she loses her ability to have children altogether.
It’s all sad, but I didn’t feel anything.
I don’t know if it’s that the trope is overused, that Lizzie is a random character who hasn’t displayed much personality beyond wanting to manipulate her sister into bending rules for her, or both.
Hopefully, this won’t cause major issues for Hannah and Lizzie, who were bonding as sisters before this, though.
Lizzie keeps encouraging Hannah and Mitch, which is not a thing anyone wants.
Ripley’s behavior this season is ruining Chicago Med, and we don’t need anyone encouraging more toxicity.
Chicago Med has been promoting the couple talking about their future for weeks, but thankfully, it was a quick conversation in which Ripley acknowledged he wasn’t boyfriend material, at least not yet.
He didn’t let Hannah get a word in edgewise, which was annoying and demonstrated yet again that these two need to stay far away from each other.
Somehow, Hannah got from that self-centered conversation that Ripley had changed. Hope springs eternal, I guess.
Archer was wrong in general about people not being able to change long-term, but I think he’s right about Ripley.
The only evidence at all of him changing was that he stopped Frost from going off on that patient.
But that doesn’t mean he’s changed as a person. He’s just better at seeing his own negative patterns when other people engage in them, that’s all.
Frost seemed triggered by the couple and their social media posts.
I can’t say I blamed him for that. I was half-expecting some kind of Munchausen by Proxy story where the parents were making the kid sick so that they could post about it on social media.
I also thought maybe the parents were faking the kid’s snakebite somehow to create drama for their social media.
Once Trey lost the snake, I was sure it was a publicity stunt.
The whole lost snake sequence didn’t work for me. It took an interesting story and made it ridiculous.
There are enough strong medical stories that descend into silliness on Days of Our Lives. We don’t need it on a medical drama, too.
Frost’s reactions were the more interesting part of this storyline. He lashed out at Dr. Charles later in a seeming fit of paranoia, accusing him of checking on him because Ripley said so.
The parents probably hit a nerve because no one protected Frost when he was a vulnerable kid on a TV show.
Despite his denials, he knows on some level that what happened to him on that set was wrong, and he’s having a hard time dealing with it.
Dr. Charles was getting hit with other people’s traumas throughout Chicago Med Season 10 Episode 18!
Lenox also gave him an emotional monologue after looking at Cynthia’s scan and confirming she had dementia.
She didn’t think Cynthia should tell her husband because it would be painful for him to see his wife deteriorate.
That came directly from her own pain over losing her parents.
I wondered if Charles understood where that was coming from.
Like he said, he doesn’t “shrink” colleagues, so he let it go without comment, but that had to have resonated on some level.
I also suspect that trauma is what stopped Lenox from being willing to get to know Hayes more personally.
After she witnessed Ron supporting Cynthia through her disease, she became open to Hayes’ interest in her and decided to go to Myrtle Beach after all.
That can’t be a coincidence. She had to have let go of some of her fear after realizing that not everybody is ill-equipped to deal with painful events like realizing a spouse is dying.
Still here? You’re our kind of people.
Drop a word in the comments or share this with a fellow fan — it’s the best way to support indie TV coverage that actually cares about the shows.
The Cynthia story was the opposite of the Frost one — instead of a reasonable story becoming silly, a silly one became something more substantial once Charles realized something was wrong with Cynthia.
Although dementia stories have become as common as baby deaths, I enjoyed this one. I especially liked how one partner’s medical problem led to a diagnosis for the other.
Let’s keep the conversation going — it’s the only way the good stuff survives.
