Recap of previous episode
Chicago Med season 10 episode 16, Poster Child, was about Dr. Frost and a young patient, Liam, who had been self-inducing vomiting so he could deny his crush on other boys. With Dr. Charles's assistance, Frost made sure Liam got the right care, even though his mother refused to believe the truth. His father, though, assured Liam of his love and support.
At the same time, Frost confronted his troubled past when Ainsley, an old co-star from his early days as a child actor, came to the hospital. Although Ainsley had once been a guardian figure, it was discovered that she had had an improper relationship with Frost when he was still a minor. With Maggie's encouragement, Frost eventually spurned Ainsley's overture.
Another of the important narratives was Josephine Tucker, a patient who had lain in a coma for twenty-two years after sustaining a traumatic brain injury. The case raised an ethical issue, demonstrating the richness of medical decision-making.
Also, Ripley, who is recovering from the injuries he obtained during a courageous rescue, hoped to hear good news regarding his employment status. To his advantage, Goodwin told him that the hospital board had agreed to reinstate him, and he was being granted a second opportunity to redeem himself.
