‘Chicago Med’ episode 2 preview: where will this cast go from here?

The second episode of “Chicago Med” is going to be coming in your direction shortly on NBC, and based on some of the first information we are getting about it, let’s just say that this team of medical professionals is getting things into very quickly.

The synopsis below sets up the story that is coming up in “iMO,” including giving you a better sense as to who many of these doctors and nurses really are:

“As Dr. Ethan Choi (Brian Tee) treats a bleeding teenage girl, he discovers she’s just given birth, sparking a frantic search for her abandoned baby. When the details of the teen’s troubled past emerge, Ethan finds himself at odds with pediatrician Dr. Natalie Manning (Torrey DeVitto) and hospital administrator Sharon Goodwin (S. Epatha Merkerson) as they’re forced to make some difficult decisions about the teen’s future. Dr. Will Halstead (Nick Gehlfuss) treats a hypochondriac with chest pains while struggling to navigate his overbearing wife. Meanwhile, med student Sarah Reese (Rachel DiPillo) and psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Charles (Oliver Platt) treat a patient suffering from dementia, only to discover she may not have dementia at all.”

It may seem subtle, but one thing that we appreciate that this show is doing in comparison to some others out there in the medical drama is putting some focus on mental health with Pratt’s character. These stories matter and are particularly relevant.

While there are a few teasers about next week’s new episode in the video below, it is more of a preview for the rest of the entire season. Watch it with that in mind.
