Warning: spoilers ahead for the Season 9 premiere of Chicago Med, called "Row Row Row Your Boat on a Rocky Sea."
The doctors and nurses of Chicago Med hit the ground running in the 2024 TV schedule with the Season 9 premiere, with a mass casualty event that involved using OR 2.0 to save a young life, a patient who died after OB/GYN Hannah pitched in outside of her specialty, Archer feeling conflicted about his upcoming kidney transplant, Maggie hiding that Ben wants a divorce, and more. This is the first season without Nick Gehlfuss as Dr. Will Halstead, but the ED brought in Dr. Mitch Ripley (played by Luke Mitchell) over the time jump. According to the showrunners, fans shouldn't expect Mitch to fill Will's shoes.
