‘Chicago Med’ Season 2 Spoilers: 5 Things To Know Before The Sept. 22 Premiere

Don those surgical gloves and strap on that stethoscope because “Chicago Med” is back with Season 2. New drama, new stories and new characters will be seen at the Gaffney Chicago Medical Center. Last season, Dr. Connor Rhodes lost his mentor, Dr. David Downey, to cancer and Nurse April Sexton’s medical exam revealed that she has tuberculosis.

What will happen in “Chicago Med” Season 2? Here’s everything you need to know:

1. Episode 1 Synopsis

Episode 1 kicks off with several changes taking place at the hospital. The Season 2 premiere begins with Dr. Rhodes (Colin Donnell) commencing his fellowship in cardiothoracic surgery with a new mentor, Dr. Latham (Ato Essandoh). However, the official synopsis reveals that Rhodes gets off on the wrong foot with his challenging new mentor. Will he be able to work for two years with his new boss?

Meanwhile, April (Yaya DaCosta) comes to terms with her recently discovered illness. Will she tell her boyfriend Tate (Deron J. Powell) that she is sick?

However, the good news is that Dr. Ethan Choi (Brian Tee) will be promoted to chief resident but he will soon realize that this job is harder than it seems.

Elsewhere, Dr. Daniel Charles (Oliver Platt) will approach Sarah Reese (Rachel DiPillo) with an interesting opportunity that will catch her off-guard. Despite turning down the offer to work in pathology, Sarah won’t be unemployed. In fact, she will return to “Chicago Med” in Season 2 as a new resident thanks to Dr. Charles.

Additionally, the Season 2 premiere will show Dr. Manning (Torrey DeVitto) treating a pregnant woman with extensive injuries. Her new pregnant patient was recently a victim of a high speed collision.

Moreover, “Chicago Med” Season 2, episode 1, will also show Dr. Halstead (Nick Gehlfuss) take exception to the actions of a fourth-year medical student named Jeff Clarke (Jeff Hephner). Clarke has a history with Dr. Manning which could be the reason behind Dr. Halstead’s behavior towards him.

Season 2 also begins with Sharon Goodwin (S. Epatha Merkerson) being single and ready to mingle.

Smart and rebellious Robin will become Dr. Rhodes’ new love interest, However, her father is not pleased with her new boyfriend.

5. April’s Tuberculosis Diagnosis

April is going to have a huge storyline in “Chicago Med” Season 2. She will avoid Tate and her son because she is worried that they will contract TB even though her disease is latent.
