‘Chicago Med’ episode 18 (finale) spoilers: Rhodes helps Downey, decisions, and ‘Timing’

After a strong episode episodes on the air, “Chicago Med” next week is going to be coming to a close with “Timing,” an hour of TV that is going to have everything from role reversals to major decisions to also characters figuring out their future. This is going to be an eventful hour, and after so many crossovers, it seems this time around to really be making its own story a priority. We have to say that really, it is about time!

The synopsis below, if you have not seen it already, provides for a pretty panoramic scope of the sort of storylines that you can expect to see unfold over the course of the hour:

“Dr. Rhodes (Colin Donnell) tends to the care of Dr. Downey (guest star Gregg Henry) while Goodwin (S. Epatha Merkerson) is forced to deal with personal issues. April (Yaya DaCosta) bears the brunt of a punch while attending to a disorderly patient, but the incident could actually prove to be a blessing in disguise. Dr. Halstead (Nick Gehlfuss) discovers Goodwin has a trick up her sleeve and Dr. Manning (Torrey DeVitto) finds her past catching up with her. Sarah’s (Rachel DiPillo) graduation day finally arrives, but she remains conflicted about mapping out her career plans for the future. Meanwhile, at the urging of Dr. Charles (Oliver Platt), Dr. Choi (Brian Tee) turns to an unlikely source for help.”

From here, we imagine that there is going to be a hiatus until fall. The good news is that we certainly imagine that the show is not going to be making anyone wait anywhere near as long as it did this past fall.
