Chicago Med Episode 4 Sets Up Chief Resident Race Ahead of Colin Donnell's Return
Dr. Frost's late application turns the chief resident contest into a two-candidate race, with the ED attendings to decide, according to Screen Rant.
Chicago Med season 12, episode 4, titled "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow," set up a contest for the chief resident position between Dr. Frost and Dr. Wu, according to Screen Rant. The episode aired ahead of Colin Donnell's return as Dr. Connor Rhodes, which is expected before the end of NBC's fall TV schedule.
Dr. Wu initially won the chief resident role unopposed after sabotaging Frost. Frost then submitted his application before the deadline, turning the appointment into a two-candidate race. The ED attendings will make the final decision.
The storyline also places the decision in the hands of the emergency department's senior doctors, including Dr. Lenox and Dr. Archer, with Dr. Heart involved in appointing the chief resident.
Donnell's return
Donnell's comeback as Connor Rhodes brings the character back to Gaffney. Connor's original exit was handled in a way that divided viewers at the beginning of season 5, and earlier seasons saw him in a rivalry with Ava as competing cardiothoracic surgeons.
In a separate thread from the past, Dr. Lenox and Dr. Archer needed most of a season to come to terms with each other.
