*Great redemption episode for Ripley

They should have ended on a cliff hanger and waited till March 26 to reveal if Ripley lives.

I knew from the start something moles-ty happened with Dr Frost and the actress. Being a beautiful older woman makes her the perfect suspect because it plays into the "teen boy should want it from a milf" idea.

Mouch was great tonight. Always love when they use a crew member from the sister shows and not a random.

I had the same thought. It could have been an underage sexual encounter with them that he's trying to pass off as "she was looking out" for him.

The vomit scene was disgusting. He didn't even run the water to clean the sink.

And it was a logical explanation, too!  We weren't left to wonder, what is Mouch doing here?  I appreciated that.

I was waiting for Hannah to rush to the scene.  She took long enough!  I like them together, it could work...

Ugh. I hate Ripley/Hannah. I was hoping they were done after last week's episode.

This episode didn't work for me. I felt like they were trying to make it very dramatic & I felt nothing.

Same tbh and I agree I like them together.

I really enjoyed this episode, I was worried for Ripley for a second there and his scene with Dr Charles made me cry.

The kid stuck in the well was way old enough to know left from right meaning.

For me, it smacked of Acting 101 class.    

Student #1:  You're a mother trapped in a deep hole with a child -- extra credit if you also have an appendage that needs to be amputated

Student #2:  You're a trapped child, scared but brave, and unwilling to leave your mother

Student #3:  You're a doctor who risks his own life to save the woman and child, then needs rescue himself and almost dies.  For extra credit, have an emotional speech with a dead friend or relative.

Student #4:  You rush to the rescue location and give an impassioned speech about how much the rescuer means to you, encouraging him not to die

Student #5:  You have to tell the friend of the rescuer that he's trapped and may die (look concerned!)

Student #6:  You're the friend of the rescuer who gets bad news (look sad!) and rush to the scene, begging him to live

Student #7:  You're the "old" fireman who risks his life (even though there are plenty of younger men around), directs the rescue and provides encouragement to everyone else.

I actually was amused during the entire episode and FF'ed through a lot of it.  

Emergency! did versions of similar stories years ago that, IMHO, were a lot better.

Brilliant and 100% correct! Every TV Trope box ticked tonight.

I liked the episode until Hannah ran in to declare love trope.

Call me a big softie but I liked it. It was sweet and not completely out of character. Plus I'm a sucker for happy endings.

I agree!  Was going to say the same thing. :-)

Call me a heartless cow, but I really wanted Ripley to die.  I've had enough of the character and the character's stupidity.  And I love Asher and I was so glad last week when she finally put her own sobriety ahead of trying to save someone who couldn't be saved.

Oh well, at least it's a TV character I wished dead, not a real life person.

I liked it and found myself realizing somewhere along the way, Chicago Med got better. It's not the best show on but is not just terrible. I hate watched for a while. 

I don't normally get moved by this show, but when Dr. Charles said he needed to go to the scene so that Ripley saw a friendly face, that got to me. I just bought the bond and was touched.
