It sounds like theChicago Medseason 10 finale will also pick upwhere the previous episode left offand provide some resolution tothe most shocking and upsetting storyline: billionaire Griffin Lancer (Tim DeKay) stealing a lung meant for a child with cystic fibrosis named Noah. Walter (Sam Trammell) shows up at the hospital with a gun, which could lead to a cliffhanger ending. This storyline is a reminder thatthe popular hospital dramadoesn’t shy away from emotional and high-stakes moments that can be tough to watch.

Based on the brief promo for the next episode, Goodwin has to deal with another problem: her relationship. Inseason 10, episode 19, “The Stories We Tell Ourselves,“she was hurt when her partner, Dennis Washington (John Earl Jelks), didn’t tell his daughter about her, and now, he’s apologizing for what happened. Between that conflict and her job, Goodwin has a lot on her plate. It often feels like the characters who work at Gaffney face one roadblock after another, and that’s definitely the case for Goodwin, who survived a stalker earlier this season only to be forced to handle even more challenges.

TheChicago Medseason 10 finale will also likely sharethe big health news that Dr. Hannah Asher (Jessy Schram) got at the end of the last episode. It would be frustrating not to find out what she was told, and while this storyline probably won’t be wrapped up quickly, viewers should at least hear what challenge Asher is facing. This is a particularly emotional plotline since she wanted to become a surrogate for her sister, and now those hopes have been dashed.

Will There Be A Chicago Med Season 11?

In early May 2025,Deadlinereported thatNBC renewed all three One Chicago shows:Chicago P.D.,Chicago Med, andChicago Fire.Chicago Medseason 10 andChicago P.D.season 12have been equally dramatic, and after seeing the strong storylines in both seasons, fans are excited to see more of these popular characters.

Since there are so many medical cases that could be explored and so many potential personal conflicts between the doctors and nurses, it’s easy to imagineChicago Medcontinuing for several more seasons. However, whenChicago Medseason 11 premieres,some characters might not return, which raises the stakes even more for theChicago Medseason 10 finale.
