“Chicago Med” is bringing another couple into the mix.<\/p>\n

Yes, Wednesday’s episode of the NBC drama introduces a shocking relationship development for two unlikely Gaffney docs. After Dr. Lenox returns to Gaffney, she shares a steamy stairwell make-out with Ripley \u2014 Ripley! \u2014 before completely stripping down in a nearby closet. (Whoa!)<\/p>\n

The hook-up takes place just before the episode comes to a close, so we can only guess how things will shake out. Is Lenox simply engaging in more reckless behavior?\u00a0Are there real feelings there after the two shared a traumatic experience together in the winter premiere<\/a>?\u00a0Only time will tell!<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Archer doesn’t notice when Kingston is trying to flirt with him, but Hannah does! She encourages her future co-parent to pursue things with Kingston, since he and Hannah are “just two friends having a baby.” By the episode’s conclusion, Archer finally accepts Kingston’s invitation to go on a date. (A little late considering she asked him out in the fall finale<\/a>, but we’ll take it!)<\/p>\n

Yes, that was the real Courtney Vandersloot!\"Courtney<\/p>\n

Courtney Vanderlsoot in Chicago Med – NBC<\/p>\n

This week’s episode also proves that everybody does, in fact, watch women’s sports. Courtney Vandersloot, a legendary WNBA point guard currently playing for the Chicago Sky, swings by Gaffney to comfort a college basketball player suffering an ACL tear. (Apparently, Frost is a well-connected man in the Windy City!)<\/p>\n

In other news: Goodwin faces racism in the workplace when a board member accuses her of making a racially based hire, and Frost and Novak’s relationship heats up. (See more on that in our forthcoming “Chicago Fire” recap!)<\/p>\n
