Tonight on NBC starting at 9p, Chicago Med and Chicago Fire, and concluding tomorrow at 10p with Chicago PD, all three dramas come together to solve a crime so heinous you have to see it to believe it.
The episode begins where Chicago Fire left off, and Herrmann (David Eigenberg) lying on the ground after being stabbed. Now, everyone is bonding together to save his life and find the person who stabbed him. While Cruz (Joe Minoso) tries to find his old buddy, Herrmann suffers complications from his injuries. Will he survive? And what will Cruz do when he comes face to face with the stabber?
If that is not enough for them to handle, the Chicago Fire guys are called out to a fire that is started by a woman who was trying to commit suicide. When they get her to Chicago Med, they find out she has been undergoing Chemo for cancer, only thing is she never had cancer and someone has been overdoing the Chemo. She isn’t the only patient that comes with that diagnosis and now Chicago PD is on the case to find out who is poisoning these women. What they find out will bring back a lot of bad memories for Hank (Jason Beghe) and make him more determined to find out who killed these women. Will they find their man before he kills again?
Tune for a three hour event that will have you on the edge of your seat the whole time.

This news should come as no shocker, NBC announced today that they picked up Chicago Med for five more episodes. The third show is the Chicago franchise is the best medical drama since ER, so I am thrilled it is sticking around all season. At this rate, it will be back next year too, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves just yet.
If you did not see this week’s episode, you need to stream it online or watch it OnDemand. They did a great job handling the question what if everyone carried a gun with them. It is a question many gun enthusiasts have asked, and this show brilliantly answered it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLb5j6_bd54 Chicago Med has proven to be a huge hit and tonight on NBC at 9p it is back with another stimulating episode. Oliver Platt plays Dr. Daniel Charles, the Chief of Psychiatry at Chicago Med, a role he researched before he starting filming the show. When I asked him how he prepared for the medical part of his role at the NBC TCA Summer Press Day, he told me, “I’ve been hanging out with the wonderful people at Columbia (University in New York).” Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman, Lawrence C. Kolb Professor and Chairman, Department of Psychiatry, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons; Director, New York State Psychiatric Institute; and Psychiatrist-in-Chief, Columbia University Medical Center of the New York Presbyterian Hospital, introduced to him several of his staff members. Due to the confidentiality issues, he explained what exactly they could teach him about their profession. He said, “What I’ve been doing is really talking to the doctors about how they do their job. Because of the nature of their work, you can’t go in there and watch them work, but they’ve been really very, very generous and forthcoming.”
Then he revealed why he made the effort, “It was really important to find out what a head psychiatrist is going to actually have, how much to do on a day-to-day hospital and the truth is, is that Jeff Lieberman sees patients.” Then he added, “And he works at a much bigger hospital than Chicago Med would be. So I’m not worried about it at all. I think there’s also going to be a little bit of sort of unofficial HR counseling going on too, I’ve been told, which is always interesting.”
Talking about HR, Dick Wolf, who created the show, called him and asked him if he was interested in the part. As soon as he described the character and the show, Platt didn’t need a lot of convincing to say yes. The only problem for the New Yorker is that the show is shot in Chicago. How did he feel about the move? He said, “I’ve always wanted to spend more time (there). Chicago’s an incredible city,” adding, “Chicago is the great American city.”
While the city is something new for him, playing a psychologist is not. In fact, he admitted that he has played that type of doctor a few times recently, but each was completely different. When I asked him if takes that as a sign, he jokingly responded with, “Yes. Somebody’s trying to tell me something.”
What is he trying to tell viewers? He said, “I’d like them to tune in and watch it.” So do just that tonight and every Tuesday at 9p on NBC.
Before Torry DeVitto was working as a doctor on Chicago Med, she was in college asking JD to watch her dog so she could have casual sex with his friend on Scrubs. She looks the same now as she did when she was 19 in that 2003 episode.
Before Oliver Platt was in the business of saving lives on Chicago Med, he was the business of taking them on The Equalizer. How sexy handsome was the 27 year old in that 1987 episode?
