Chicago Med Episode Recap
In Wednesday’s “Chicago Med” episode, following last week’s cliffhanger where Natalie’s son Owen gets shot during an outing with Will, Natalie returns to Gaffney as Owen’s treatment begins. However, the aftermath of the shooting strains Will and Natalie’s relationship — can #Manstead weather this storm? Let’s dive into the recap.
Owen’s Condition and Natalie’s History
Though Owen survived the shooting, he faces serious health issues. Archer informs Will that the bullet severely damaged Owen’s right kidney, which complicates matters due to Owen’s congenital “horseshoe kidney” condition. The medical team attempts a renal reconstruction, but ultimately Owen requires a kidney transplant or will need to rely on dialysis.
As the stakes escalate, Natalie is haunted by her past experiences. She confides in Goodwin, expressing that she feels “cursed” and wonders whether her son might die like her husband did during her last pregnancy with Owen.
Natalie’s Determination
Natalie channels her stress into action, focusing on securing a donor for Owen. She emphasizes the urgency of the situation, stating she is willing to donate one of her kidneys if she’s a suitable match. Will, however, reassures her that dialysis isn’t a death sentence, warning that undergoing surgery while pregnant poses significant risks. Despite his objections, Natalie insists on being tested for compatibility.
Tensions Mount Between Will and Natalie
As Natalie pushes forward with the transplant process, tensions boil over when she argues with Will. She accuses him of prioritizing the unborn child’s life over Owen’s, expressing frustration that everyone seems reluctant to let her take the necessary steps to save her son.
Will Embraces Fatherhood
Meanwhile, Will grapples with guilt, pondering if the shooting is a consequence of not fully connecting with Owen. Goodwin intervenes, reminding him of a heartfelt letter Owen wrote for him before the incident. In the letter, Owen expresses anxiety about the new baby and calls Will “dad” for the first time, eliciting tears from viewers and Will alike.
The Successful Transplant
Ultimately, the transplant is a success, Natalie’s pregnancy continues without complications, and #Manstead appears to emerge stronger than ever as Will officially adopts Owen, solidifying their family bond.
