Summary
- Dr. Charles faces family history issues in the emotional season 10 finale.
- Hannah Asher's pregnancy storyline will be explored in the finale.
- Fans can expect answers about the father of Hannah's baby in the finale.
From familiar faces returning to the potential exits of a few characters, expectations are high for the Chicago Med season 10 finale. Episode 22, "...Don't You Cry" will pick up the pieces of the most recent episode, which was definitely one of the most intense in the NBC hospital drama's history. Since season 1's premiere in 2015, Chicago Med has introduced viewers to experienced doctors and nurses who have chosen a particularly difficult but ultimately rewarding career.
Fans have become greatly invested in many of the main Chicago Med characters, and one long-time doctor is being put through the wringer in the last episode of the current season. While their storyline sounds particularly grim, it's just what the show needs, and the season 10 finale is likely going to be impressive.
Chicago PD Season 12, Episode 22 Release Date and Time
The Chicago P.D. Season 12 finale is almost here, and fan-favorite characters like Voight, Kim, and Adam are in tricky situations.
The Chicago Med Season 10 Finale Will Feature An Emotional Storyline About Dr. Daniel Charles
In an interview with TV Line, showrunner Allen MacDonald mentioned what fans can expect from the Chicago Med season 10 finale. MacDonald said Dr. Daniel Charles (Oliver Platt) will be at the center of the episode as his daughter Anna (Hannah Riley) has been hospitalized after a car accident. MacDonald said the storyline is:
"going to bring up a lot of family history issues between him and his daughter."
MacDonald continued:
“Charles is lonely, and he’s a great psychiatrist, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he is good about his own life and the people in his life. I think he’s made a lot of mistakes, and I think he knows that. … So the idea [for] the end of the season is for him to go to the ultimate source of the well of pain for most people, which is family history, and force him to deal with it, and the accident with Anna is part of that.”
Dr. Charles's scenes with his daughters Robin (Mekia Cox) and Anna are some of his best and most endearing, even though he hasn't been a perfect parent. While no one wants to see Robin or Anna in danger, it was the right choice to feature Dr. Charles so prominently in the Chicago Med season 10 finale. In the past, Charles struggled to find the right thing to say to Anna, who had typical teen drama storylines involving her dating and school lives. Most notably, Anna goes through a difficult moment in her personal life, and Dr. Charles supports her. After this, they get much closer, and Dr. Charles is definitely going to be devastated by his daughter's accident.
Dr. Charles is a perfect example of a typical Chicago Med main character: he's proud and confident when it comes to his medical career, but he has a hard time with his personal life. Chicago Med season 10 has done a great job examining Dr. Charles's relationship with his various family members. At the end of season 10, episode 21, "The Invisible Hand," he loses his mom, and in the next episode, he has to come to terms with never being able to find the right words to say to her.
Throughout Chicago Med season 10, viewers realize that Dr. Charles has a lot of baggage with his own mother, who often treated him coldly instead of showing him the support that he wanted and needed. This informed his own parenting decisions, and he feels even guiltier that he has made so many mistakes. Now that Anna is in trouble, it looks like he will have to face these issues, and they will most likely have a tough and honest conversation by the end of the episode. It's a complicated time in Anna's life as she recently revealed she dropped out of college, and the season 10 finale will likely be as exciting and memorable as fans expect.
The Chicago Med Season 10 Finale Will Also Feature A Memorable Hannah Asher Storyline
At the end of Chicago Med season 10, episode 21, "Baby Mine..." Hannah Asher (Jessy Schram) finds out she's pregnant. The season 10 finale will pick up where this plotline left off and explore this more.
In an interview with TV Insider, Allen MacDonald said, “I have very little to say about the father’s identity." He continued, “I don’t think she’s happy or unhappy. I think she’s stunned. I think she’s shocked." MacDonald also noted that when Hannah lets her sister Lizzie know that she can't be her surrogate because of her own pregnancy, "it does not go well."
When the final episode of this unforgettable season of this popular doctor drama airs on Wednesday May 21st, 2025, fans will hopefully get an answer about who the father of Hannah's baby is, and hopefully, Dr. Charles's daughter Anna will be okay.
