NBC's Chicago Med Season 11 brings new challenges for the medics of Gaffney Chicago Medical Centre every week. Apart from the main cast, each week we get to see some fresh faces, and that's what makes the show even more thrilling.
In Episode 11, Dr. Charles reunites with his med school friends Suzzie (Brenda Strong) and Howie (Mark Linn-Baker). Apart from that, Dr. Kingston and Dr. Hannah Asher clash over a patient, Lyra Moreno (Elizabeth Ramos).
We also catch a glimpse of a recurring character, Sully's widow, Lynee (Hope Lauren). Ripley takes a day off from work and spends some quiet time with Lynee on Sully's first death anniversary. They throw his ashes in the stadium, and even though the authorities catch them doing so, they do not take any action.
