The Chicago Med season 10 finale will feature some past characters, and as the season gets closer to its conclusion, fans wonder who they can catch up with again. In the past 19 episodes, the doctors and nurses at Gaffney Medical Center have been put through the wringer. From Sharon Goodwin's (S. Epatha Merkerson) chilling stalker storyline to the return of Dr. Sarah Reese (Rachel DiPillo), there's been a lot going on.
Fans enjoy the hustle and bustle of this hospital drama, and from the description of the upcoming episode, fans are in for another moving and entertaining episode. So, when does Chicago Med season 10, episode 20 air, and what will the main plotline be?

How To Watch Chicago Med Season 10, Episode 20, "The Invisible Hand"
Chicago Med season 10, episode 20, "The Invisible Hand," will air on NBC on Wednesday, May 7th, 2025 at 8 p.m. E.T. If fans miss this episode of Chicago Med, they can stream it on Peacock the next day, Thursday, May 8th, 2025.
The official description for Chicago Med season 10, episode 20 reads:
"The hospital faces a staffing crisis as the nurses stage a sick-out; Archer and Frost bet on who can discharge their patients first; Charles' distrust of a patient complicates his treatment."
The upcoming episode continues one storyline from the previous episode, "The Stories We Tell Ourselves": the nursing union negotiating with the hospital. Since Maggie Lockwood (Marlyne Barrett) represents the nurses and Sharon Goodwin represents Gaffney Medical Center, the two characters are navigating a tough new dynamic in their friendship. It sounds like the hospital will be short-staffed now, and the end of the last episode hinted at this storyline not being resolved just yet.
The plotline involving Dr. Dean Archer (Steven Weber) and Dr. John Frost (Darren Barnet) sounds fascinating. They can both be overly confident and stubborn, and Chicago Med is at its strongest when the ambitious and hardworking doctors compete. It will be great to see Archer and Frost going up against each other. Maybe, by the end of the episode, they'll realize they're pretty similar and will bond. That would be moving and satisfying.
Chicago Med Season 10, Episode 20 Focuses On Dr. Daniel Charles
Head of Psychiatry Dr. Daniel Charles (Oliver Platt) is a compelling and important part of every Chicago Med episode since he advises other characters and helps so many patients. This long-term character will also be a big part of Chicago Med season 10, episode 20, and based on the description, he'll deal with a complex patient situation. Like the Max hospital series The Pitt, Chicago Med features some medical cases that don't have easy answers, which forces the doctors to think outside the box or work together to save lives.
In an interview with The Knockturnal, Platt shared why he wanted to play Dr. Charles, and it's interesting to hear his perspective. The actor said:
"Any actor, we are all amateur psychiatrists whether we know it or not. Our job is to figure out what motivates people."
He continued:
"Acting is all about exploring the emotional life of the character. When you have you play a quote unquote bad guy, my job is to figure out, if I’m thinking about that guy as a bad guy, he’s me. You gotta get inside of his head and see how he thinks he’s helping the world."
