Bekker is at Rhodes’ place. She’s looking to get drinks that night be he awkwardly tells her he has other plans. As Manning and Choi leave the night shift, they run into April. She asks Choi about meeting up with his sister but he puts it off. They make plans for later and he heads out. He sees Manning talking to one of the street kids.
Her friend is sick and nine months pregnant. They get some gear and go out to treat her. She has a fever and an infection. Her water also broke two days prior. Charles asks Reese about dinner with her father and tells her to trust her instincts. Rhodes and Bekker get a little boy with a collapsed lung. Rhodes as treated him before and goes ahead with an intense treatment.
April is treating a man that is coughing up blood. He fell unconscious earlier in the day at work. He just wants to leave but Halstead talks him into sticking around for a bit. Reese’s father is at the hospital to get tests from Rhodes. Charles asks him to do a head workup to just to be safe. Things aren’t improving on the streets so Choi is ready to induce labor.
Manning is opposed and Choi tells her that she can sit this one out if she wants. She sticks around. Bekker updates the family. They found lungs for the little boy but he’s in trouble while they wait. Halstead tells his patient that he might have cancer but it’s treatable. The guy isn’t interested though. He gives it to Halstead bluntly. He’s a pedophile and wants to die.
Choi is ready to deliver but Manning is still pushing for them to go to the hospital. The other teens gathered clue her in on the foster care system and she relents. She heads for the hospital to get antibiotics. Legal talks to Goodwin about Maggie turning away patients with no insurance. The little boy is doing worse. Rhodes and Bekker still don’t agree on treatment.
The kids parents agree with Rhodes because they know him. April asks Halstead what the plan is. He wants to put the man on a psych hold and save him. April doesn’t agree with that and Reese doesn’t know enough to put him on a hold. The little boy crashes. Bekker was right but Rhodes won’t listen to reason.
Reese goes to Charles for advice. He says treat the guy. Halstead sees Manning and asks what she’s up to. She explains that she will tell him later and grabs some medication before heading back out. Goodwin and Maggie confront the ambulance driver that made the claims. The little boy’s parents talk to Bekker about treatment and whether they made the right call.
She assures them that they tried their best and that’s all they can ask for. The pedophile has an obstructed airway. He wants them to let him die but Halstead won’t. Rhodes gets the tests back on Robert. He consults neuro and finds out that Robert has the brain activity of a psychopath. Reese wants to reason with the pedophile. She asks Halstead why he is doing this.
He tells her it’s not his job to judge. The little boy is struggling but the transplant lungs are close. Bekker figures out the problem. It’s with the treatment machine itself. They fix it and the little boy rebounds. It’s time for the transplant. Choi and Manning deliver the baby in the streets with complications.
The transplant surgery starts. Rhodes has Bekker take the lead. Goodwin has the driver break room disassembled. They didn’t realize what they were encouraging. Reese and Halstead talk to the pedophile. He tells them that he can’t overcome this. He sees the cancer as a reward, a way out.
Charles has a session with Robert. He wants him to come clean to Reese. The teen mother is having a moment with her baby. Choi tells her it’s time to go in to the hospital but she doesn’t want to go. She doesn’t want the baby stuck in the foster system with her. She stays and sends the baby in alone to get adopted.
Goodwin talks to legal about the pizza room. Legal tells her that’s not an option. It’s making them a lot of money. The pedophile crashes and Halstead tries to save him but the guy doesn’t want it. Halstead holds his hand as he goes. Rhodes checks in on the little boy. He’s doing better. He talks to Bekker and tells her that he canceled his plans.
She tells him that the night before was a mistake. Manning and Choi get back to the hospital and hand off the baby. She walks over and tries to talk to Halstead but he’s not in the mood to talk. Choi tells April he needs a raincheck on dinner. Reese tells Charles that her father told her about his diagnosis.
Reese explains that her father told her to prevent abandonment issues because he only just came back. He’s still playing her. Charles pushes but Reese doesn’t know anything more. Choi goes to visit his sister. It’s been a while but they are going to talk.
I’m so glad the little boy is okay. I also think that Charles should just come clean to Reese about her father. It’s only going to blow up in his face when she finds out. Also, Bekker is right. She shouldn’t get involved with Rhodes but she probably will.
