Is ‘Chicago Med’ episode 5 new tonight on NBC? First details on ‘Maligant’

Have you started to get hooked already on “Chicago Med”? Unfortunately the news that we’ve got for you now is that after a month of new episodes on the air, the series has now embarked on its holiday hiatus. There will be no more new episodes until Tuesday, January 5, which is when the series is going to formally kick off the second half of its season.

The next new episode is entitled “Malignant,” and the first thing that you really should know about this story is that it is airing at a special time in 10:00 p.m. Eastern. If you missed it, the reason why we’re swapping this episode around with “Chicago Fire” is because that show will have a story that leads directly into this one, and the producers want to do the storytelling that is the most organic to them.

This is the synopsis for part two:

“Following a knife attack, a member of the team lies in peril and their condition takes a sudden turn for the worse, leaving Dr. Connor Rhodes (Colin Donnell) and Dr. Toni Zanetti (guest star Julie Berman) scrambling to race against the clock.  Word quickly spreads that some of Connor’s fellow doctors feel he should have operated sooner, causing tension at the hospital.  Dr. Natalie Manning (Torrey DeVitto) makes preparations for her pregnancy and Nurse April Sexton’s (Yaya DaCosta) brother (guest star Roland Buck III) struggles through his first day at the hospital.  Meanwhile, members of the Chicago P.D. Intelligence Unit help investigate whether the case of a women clinging to life after Firehouse 51 pulled her out of a burning building is attempted suicide or murder.  As the investigation deepens, a surprising parallel to other patients surfaces.”
