It was only a matter of time. On Chicago Med Season 10 Episode 6, tensions erupted between Archer and Lenox. He wants her out, but something tells me that’s not happening any time soon.
Chicago Med’s Archer May Have Finally Met His Match Archer is always berating others when things go wrong. It was annoying on Chicago Med Season 9 Episode 10 when he blamed the since-departed Dr. Marcel for Zola’s misbehavior, and his treatment of Lenox was even worse.
Archer spent the whole damn episode yelling that they should wait to do surgery, so naturally, when the patient died during the procedure, he laid into Lenox. It was as obnoxious as it was unfair. After all, Abrams told him the chances of Jordan surviving were slim.
However, Lenox wasn’t putting up with that nonsense. Archer: This patient’s death is on you and nobody else. Lenox: All right, Dr.
Archer You go ahead and live in some alternate reality where you’re always right. In the meantime, I’ll be in this one where sometimes we lose patients. Good for her! Someone has to put him in his place, especially now that Choi isn’t there to intervene.
Archer has been like this from the first time he appeared on Chicago Med. He talks a good game about ethics nowadays, but he used to do crap like purposely putting patients into comas so that he could say they needed a power of attorney to make decisions for them and then give them surgery they expressly said they didn’t want. He’s given that up, at least, but barking orders at everyone and blaming them when things go wrong isn’t much better, and he did too much of it on Chicago Med Season 10 Episode 6.
He needs to stop with the ultimatums, too, because he will lose his job if he makes Sharon choose. I wasn’t in the mood for the older guy who knows everything snapping at a younger woman who is just trying to do her job to the best of her ability. We have enough of that crap in real life right now, thanks.
Sharon’s Underwhelming Stalker Reveal On Chicago Med Season 10 Episode 6 Wait...
so the guy stalking Sharon was some ex-employee we’ve never met on-screen before? I dislike those kinds of reveals. They feel like cheating and are utterly underwhelming. We’ve never seen this guy, or if we have, I don’t remember him, but out of nowhere, there he is, making death threats against Sharon because she laid him off.
Maybe all the layoffs shouldn’t have been off-screen. Then this reveal would have been a little bit interesting. To make matters worse, the culprit getting shot during a stand-off with police was ALSO off-screen.
The police guy just told Sharon about it after the fact. Double yawn. I didn’t like this story in the first place.
I usually like thrillers, but something felt off about this one. The whole point seemed to be to make Sharon jumpy when no one was actually attacking her. PTSD and related mental health issues are real, but that wasn’t compelling.
After all that, Chicago Med Season 10 Episode 6 resolves the whole thing off-screen, making me feel like there wasn’t much of a point to the entire story. I’m glad Atwater got a cameo, but the whole thing was a waste of time otherwise. The only interesting question is whether Dennis is still ready to move in with Sharon after Chicago Med Season 10 Episode 6.
It’s possible that while the threat was ongoing, he thought she’d be safer that way. I like their relationship, but they need to move slower (or at least have more screen time). I’m not a fan of fast-forwarding to living together when a relationship hasn’t had much time to breathe.
Maggie’s MIdwife Adventure I enjoyed Maggie’s story, although I felt like it took forever for Eli to get Hannah. I wish we’d had room for parallel stories so that Hannah could be doing something else at the mobile unit while Maggie was helping Sylvie deliver her baby. Maggie was a little pushy when it came to Sylvie wanting to keep the baby secret and give it up for adoption.
She stressed to Sylvie’s mother that it was Sylvie’s decision, but didn’t accept it when Sylvie initially said that she wanted to give the baby up. I liked the throwback to Maggie’s backstory of having given Vanessa up for adoption at sixteen, but I also don’t like the narrative on TV that adoption is a worse idea than raising a baby as a teenager. How was Sylvie going to manage? Her mother works as a bus driver and probably has neither time nor money to help her.
In some cases, adoption is the best idea, but on TV, it never is, and Chicago Med Season 10 Episode 6 was no exception. The Kid With Dissociative Amnesia Was Interesting, But What Happened To The Abuse Storyline on Chicago Med Season 10 Episode 6? Chicago Med Season 10 Episode 6 included two kids who got seriously hurt while in a boot camp for troubled teens. At first, Archer and Lenox were in agreement that it was abuse, but that story evaporated in favor of their argument over whether one of the kids should have surgery.
Doctors are mandated reporters, so why didn’t Lenox tell Goodwin or the CPS lady her suspicions? Just because the camp counselor claimed his activities were legal didn’t mean they were. Additionally, why didn’t their suspicions factor into whether the guy could make medical decisions for Jordan? I’d think if he was a suspected abuser, that would change the calculus on that. Am I being too hard on Chicago Med Season 10 Episode 6? The story we got was strong, but it irritated me that the abuse just vanished into thin air.
It felt like too much stuff was thrown in the episode for no reason. What do you think, Chicago Med fanatics? Vote in our poll to rank the episode, and then hit the comments with your thoughts.
