I was literally screaming at my TV, "GET AWAY JACKSON!!!!! LEAVE!!!!" I swear I was about blow my top until he stopped himself. And that's a first because usually in this show, when two people are drinking and vulnerable, neither person is going to stop themselves. Thankfully Jackson did. And I hope nothing more comes from this in proceeding episodes, like Jackson suddenly realizing how much he loves Maggie.

Couldn't agree more. It's amazing how many people are available to fall in love with that our outside of the workplace. The Chicago shows, for the most part, seem to forget this.

I'm hoping Will just lets Natalie go, no matter what she says. She did tell him to get out of her life. This will they or will they not, on and off stuff is just tired. Will has to learn to move on without her.

I wonder that same thing. Just meets the guy, and has sex with him on the same day. And by the next episode, she's willing to endanger herself and the public to make him comfortable. That was a really dumb move (which is saying something for this show) to forge Natalie's signature just to get him discharged. She's a nurse. She has to realize that the public risk supersedes whatever she feels for a guy she just met. He got a crappy deal, but protocol is protocol, and has to be followed. Natalie, for once, was dead on when she said this wasn't about what was owed and this was a responsibility to the public. Though, I still have-expected Natalie would cave and bend the rules for her friend. If she can lock parents out of the room with their baby with no consequence, she can get away with anything. I'm wondering if chemo patients have the same rule that AA members have, which is to never get involved with another member? And in the case of a chemo patient, it's just do the fact that you never know when one can go south, and you want them to avoid that pain because you get too attached.

They were still in the intersection. They were not halfway down the street. Hen did change the light. Hen did slow down. Hen was paying attention to the road. You want to fault her for something, then let's fault her for maybe being too relaxed? What the hell do you expect her to do when a car pops out of nowhere. She did just about everything right. There was no negligence on her part. It's just a terrible accident. You can do everything right, but still the unexpected happens due to bad luck and circumstances. How did Evelyn not hear the sirens from the ambulance? Was she shielded from seeing the ambulance by the other car stopped in front of her? Could she possibly have not seen the light change to red due to the glare of the sun? Did she take her eyes off the road for a split second? And Hen is distraught because a girl was seriously hurt and then died as a result of the accident. Not because she was guilty. Name a person who's been in that same situation that isn't distraught. If you recall, tennis great Venus Williams broke down over a driver being killed in an accident that involved her in which she was not at fault. She wasn't crying she was guilty. She was crying because a guy died.

If Hen had not have actually slowed diwn, Evelyn's car, a small Hyundai Veloster would have been thrown halfway down the street.

The ending music along with Aisha Hinds' acting was perfect at the end. You could feel the pain she was going through. That's something you don't wish on anybody, rather it be emergency personnel or a regular driver. You're involved in an accident and the other driver is critically injured or killed. The feeling has to be unimaginable.

She didn't barrel through the intersection with no caution. She flipped the switch to turn the lights to green, which is the norm, and she did slow down, and then she saw the car, which did not stop, at the last second. There was nothing she could do. She was not distracted by her personal problems at that time. She had just saved a guy from bleeding out due to her quick thinking. She goes from that to causing an accident because of personal problems. No. She was back to her old self, and then this unfortunate accident happened. There was no negligence involved. If anything, Evelyn, was at fault because she didn't stop at the red, like the other car in front of her did. How she didn't hear the sirens, we'll never know. Because if you do, you know to look around and either move to the right or stop because this kind of accident can happen if you don't. An emergency vehicle will generally be traveling at a high rate of speed, and if you don't heed the warning and you get in its path, there's not much the driver of the emergency vehicle can do at the last second.

Rochelle Aytes actually. I can see her character finally being the one for Hondo, considering the chemistry the two actors already have from working together on Criminal Minds.

I was just about to ask that. His career should be over after Athena had to amputate his arm. I know people can still live fairly normal lives with prosthetics. To be a first responder, especially a firefighter, however, you have to be fully 100%. If I recall on the Chicago Med episode during the One Chicago Crossover last month, a guy who was planning to go to the fire academy, had to have his arm amputated, ending his firefighter ambitions. So not sure how Cooper is back, and back so soon after the tsunami.

She encouraged him to use the fighting as a healthy outlet to get his aggression out in a safe, legal way. Not to become obsessed with it, to the point of fighting for money at an illegal fight club, where the rules are tap out or knock out, and where they don't want to call 911 if somebody's seriously hurt. That's why she's worried.

I actually think Evelyn was off the call with her mother at that point, because her mother had said bye or talk to you later and the call ended. She just failed to notice that the light had changed to red. The other driver did see it and slowed down, but she kept going.

It's Morris Chestnut. He would not allow that to happen to his character.

It seems this episode was prematurely released on Hulu last week.

My thoughts exactly!!! All this talk of Maggie being the only one that can do this surgery and nobody's as good as her. Teddy is not too shabby herself. If Richard wanted a good substitute for Maggie, Teddy should have been his first call. Not the replacement surgeon who's not as good. And as Sabi's death proved, it doesn't matter if you're the best in the field. A doctor should not operate on a family member. And once again, the show had Maggie loosely refer to it as a guideline. It's actually in the AMA Code of Ethics. When Sabi started going south, Maggie went from being a professional doctor to an emotional wreck, to the point where Alex had make her stop. And now, not only did she lose her cousin, she's going to have to deal with the fact that she died during her surgery.

Though Maggie is going overboard. Bringing up the topic of Vic's dead fiancé, again, while judging their relationship. Maggie needs to butt out. His relationship with Vic is none of her business. If she meant the whole "I don't like you, you don't like me", then go a take a hike and stop judging Jackson's relationship with Vic. You don't see Jackson ridiculing her for being lonely and single.

Let me backtrack. Peter Krause as Captain Bobby Nash fits perfectly. He looks like what we'd expect in a captain. But Peter Krause as Athena's husband, Bobby, just doesn't fit right. As you said, he doesn't seem to show any affection toward Athena, and she does the same. As a husband, he seems to just be there as a good friend instead of an actual husband. And you can't really take their relationship seriously. It's why I wonder why they thought it would be a good idea to place them together in the first place. They just don't fit well with one another. But in their element, Athena is a believable sergeant in the LAPD and Bobby is a believable captain of Station 119.

For a smart doctor, Devon is incredibly stupid. Yes, there are rules, but there's also doing the right thing. You have a pilot that shows clear evidence of alcoholism and flying while drunk. He's putting the lives of his passengers at risk. What's important here? Keeping in line with HIPAA regulations and not reporting to the FAA that a pilot is drunk, or the lives of the innocent passengers that are flying on his plane? His spiel about "When patients come to us, they need to know we will keep their medical information private, good or bad" is painting way too broad a picture. It's one thing if a girl won't tell her parents she's pregnant or picked up and STD and doesn't want the doctor to tell. It's completely different when a patient poses a potential deadly risk to others.

This was a great episode to give us a look into Athena's past. We got to know the first true love of her life, got an insight to the pain she went through in losing him, and then the closure she got after finally finding Emmett's killer and the events that transpired the night of his death. And what was a refreshing change, as opposed to the other Character Begins episodes, was that we didn't get a full episode flashback. We got flashbacks intertwined with the story. And I do agree with others when they say Peter Krause is miscast as Bobby, and it just looks awkward with him trying to provide support to Athena. It just doesn't fit. The relationship with Athena doesn't make much sense, but it's even more pronounced when he's with the family. Like when Athena and Michael were interrogating May's date.

This is exactly why I hated them being put together. Because now, a bulk of the show next week is going to be about Kim's pregnancy drama, and what that means for her and Adam's relationship. Ugh. And that's not what we watch Chicago P.D. for. It's an insult to the CPD.

Finally, we get the perspective of an actual female FF/medic. You're validating what many of us viewers have been saying for years. Gabby as a firefighter was just a joke because she didn't showcase the female firefighter. She showcased her overbearing, bossy, "I'm always right" mindset. Not to mention, the relationship drama she kept bringing to the house. Leaving shift early just because she couldn't handle her boyfriend coming down hard on her for a bad mistake she made on a call. I just could never take her seriously as a firefighter.

I will say though when they did the promo for that Season 2 finale, they did say one of the NCIS team members wouldn't be coming home. So we knew somebody was dying off prior to the episode. Lasalle's death was definitely a surprise. There was no announcement Lucas Black was leaving sometime during this season. No articles or rumors mentioning he was possibly leaving. It was definitely kept on the DL. I just assumed they'd be able to save him from his wounds, just like with Pride. Total shock when he actually did die. I do wish he could have maybe had a better death. Like taking bullets for Pride or something. But to go an abandoned cabin, with a witness who you just found and haven't fully vetted her story, without waiting for Pride and Sebastian was a bad move. And then, not waiting in the truck for them when they were a few minutes away. Even with the grief of losing his brother, you would expect him to have better judgement. It shows why law enforcement should never work the cases dealing with loved ones. Clear thinking goes out the window. I do also wonder did they have to kill the character off? Though it could have been Lucas' choice. Now, he can never come back as a guest star, unless he's a ghost in one of Pride's hallucinations. It would have been plausible that he regretted falling out of touch with Cade which lead him to getting killed, and he then decides to resign from NCIS to spend more time with his family in Alabama. As it is, both Cade and Chris are killed within weeks of each other. Tough on the Lasalle family.

How long into this episode before Will makes more longing looks toward Natalie?

If Marcel tells Natalie right away about the ring not being there when she was brought in, Natalie puts two and two together and this charade doesn't happen. Though you would think Natalie would also find it odd that she's wearing an engagement ring in the hospital bed. Per policy with any new patients, they remove the jewelry, presumably so they don't get electrocuted if they have to use the defibrillator.

Ughhh. This episode makes me wanna hurl. Natalie faces ZERO consequences (except getting escorted to the police station) for locking the parents out of the room and administering medicine against their wishes. At the least, this is something that requires counseling and maybe a leave of absence. At most, she deserves a lengthy suspension or termination. But to not face any consequences, simply because she followed her instincts and was lucky enough to be right is just a joke. Will, once again, going against a patient's directives, just because he doesn't agree. Once they saw the no blood card, that's it. No matter how long it's been since he signed that card, or what drugs or alcohol he was on, you still have the follow the directive. Not try to actively find ways to circumvent his wishes to make your viewpoint be the only option. At this point, Will and Natalie are becoming a cancer to this show. They always think they're right. Will is still hung up on Natalie. He's almost rivaling Nathan with his obsession with Natalie and constantly needing to save her. Every single episode, he has to glance over at Natalie. Has to inject herself into her cases and offer assistance. It's getting really tired. At this point, one of them needs to leave the hospital. If Will can't come to work without always constantly thinking about Natalie, he needs to leave. Or if Natalie can't handle the tension posed by will and wants him, as she said, out of her life, she needs to leave.
