Chicago Med

A few days ago, I received a death threat.

Well, did they find out who sent it?

Not yet, but working theory is a disgruntled employee.

I thought you looked familiar.

Think maybe people will forget about this soon?

It's not every day you find out your colleague

was a teen heartthrob.

Most emergency departments don't have an OB specialist,

so I'm curious if you find your position essential.

I just thought, as a woman, you'd appreciate having someone

who specializes in women's health.

As a woman, I do appreciate it.

Are you dancing?

No, I had a cramp in my calf.

- -

Okay, listen up, everybody. I just got confirmation.

We've got a code orange coming in in T-minus ten minutes.

Are we ready for that?

Let me tell you something. We better be.

Halloween night can be one of the busiest of the year.

Be smart about triage and resource management,

and don't get too caught up in the pageantry.

I expect the highest level of decorum.

- - Hey, stop right there!

[shouting indistinctly in Spanish]

It's gonna be a long night.

- - Almost there, bud.

Almost there, Coop.

Hang in there, Superman. Hang in there, buddy.

All right, Coop. Almost, buddy.

You're good, you're good, you're good.

Whoa.

How did he even get it in there?

I... no... mm.

- Does that taste good, bud? - Mm-hmm.

Two birds, one lollipop. Right on.

- Ow, Superman! -

You're so strong. You're so strong.

Wow. Excellent costume choice.

But this tracks, right?

I mean, you never just see one minion.

Facts.

Hey, Dr. Frost.

Oh, no.

both: That was a close one.

What do you think?

I think you should watch higher-quality television.

You're kind of low-key famous.

Very low-key.

Among millennial females of a certain age.

I've never seen "Nick of Time!" Sorry.

Thank God. We'll get along.

Yeah, we will.

Oh, I'm guessing this was coordinated.

I wanted to be an astronaut.

Yes, but every hero needs a sidekick.

Mm-hmm.

Well, I'm gonna hit the head.

Well, make it quick. We need you.

Things are going well, I see.

Yeah, he's really been showing up lately.

Showing up?

The man literally dressed like a Ken doll to please you.

Sweetie, he's head over heels.

Mm.

Okay, the prenatal clinic head count

is three patients in five days.

Lenox is gonna pull the plug

if we don't get those numbers up.

Doesn't help that she keeps us on a tight leash.

All we need is to get the word out.

- Yeah, I hope you're right. - Yeah.

Jackie, weren't you supposed to

go to a Halloween party with your daughter tonight?

There was a change of plans, so I picked up a shift.

Oh, good. We got a code orange on its way.

Oh, well, I should get changed quickly, then.

- - No, it's gonna have to wait.

I need you on the floor.

Everybody, timeline's moved up. Battle stations now!

- You ready? - Come on!

- Let's do it. - All right.

All right.

Make sure you have enough candy.

Make sure you have enough.

- Thank you. -

all: Trick or treat!

- Happy Halloween! - Happy Halloween, guys!

Happy Halloween. There you go.

Yeah.

Yeah, I understand,

but we have to work with

the resources that we have available.

Well, yeah, that's a good point.

But let's keep that in mind when we have to,

uh, tackle that fourth quarter budget.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah. Yeah.

Well, you know,

for now, why don't we just stay the course?

Um...

let's pick this up in the morning.

O-Okay.

Who's there?

I've already called the police!

- - Ah!

That stings!

Kyle!

Oh, Kyle! Oh, no, I'm so sorry.

Are you okay?

Come on, let's go get your mother.

Come on.

All right, Kyle, we're gonna hold this over your eyes.

- Can you do that for me? - Yeah.

Great. He'll be fine.

We irrigated his eyes, no sign of corneal damage.

Just need to manage the swelling now.

Thank you, Dr. Frost.

Of course.

Helen, I am so sorry about this.

Is there anything I could do to make it up to both of you?

Can I have all your peanut butter cups?

Mom, don't guilt-trip Ms. Goodwin.

It was an accident.

No worries, Kyle.

It's a deal.

But seriously, Sharon,

someone was in your house?

- That's terrifying. - Well, I think it was.

But honestly, I've been a little keyed up lately.

CPD is doing a full sweep of the house, so.

- Hopefully it's nothing. - Yeah.

I saw your flyer at the community center

about prenatal screenings.

Yes. Yes, that's right.

Um, unfortunately, though,

our clinic hours are over for the day.

When... when are they?

Weekdays from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Um, I work then. Just about everybody does.

Yeah, I... can you come in on one of your days off?

Um, yeah, it's been a while since I've had one of those.

Is... is there any way that you can see me now?

I mean, something just... it doesn't feel right.

Yeah, you know, let me... let me see what I can do.

Okay, thank you.

So he escaped from the psych ward?

Yep. Name's Ted Kachler.

He's got a pretty nasty gash on his arm

after security tackled him at the front entrance.

We're waiting on X-rays before sending him back up.

And why did Dr. Cuevas hold him in the first place?

Well, the police brought him in for erratic behavior

during a domestic dispute.

He was pretty unhinged and paranoid during intake.

Thank you.

This is all a huge misunderstanding.

Ted, how are you doing? I'm Dr. Charles.

Um, Jackie has been telling me that, uh,

you were involved in an incident at home?

Yeah, which Becca has totally blown out of proportion

- for her advantage. - Okay.

So Becca is your... your partner?

Your... your wife?

Not for long.

Um, we're in the middle of a nasty divorce,

and she is... she's trying to sue me

for full custody of our daughter, Ella.

Oh, well, I'm really sorry to hear that.

I mean, divorce...

- - Divorce, uh, sucks.

Yeah, uh... um, the thing is,

the custody hearing is tomorrow morning,

- and I'm... I'm stuck in here. - Uh-huh.

So that's why you were trying to get out of the hospital?

I can't lose my little girl, doc.

I hear you. Really, I do.

Um, the thing is Dr. Cuevas probably wouldn't have

put you on a psych hold without a pretty good reason.

So if you don't mind, can you just tell me a little bit more

about what happened?

Look, I...

I lost my temper, okay?

I... I was... I was tired, I was stressed.

I don't know.

Um, my... my... my brain, it just suddenly glitched.

Okay, so when you say that your brain suddenly glitched,

can you get a little more specific about that?

I mean, was it... did you see something or hear something

out of the ordinary, or...

No, I...
