Chicago Med Piano Teacher: Ethan And April’s Relationship On Hold Amid Accusations 

The chemistry between Ethan Choi (Brian Tee) and April Sexton (Yaya DaCosta) has been palpable throughout the fifth season of Chicago Med. Still, any chance of them rekindling their relationship is on hold until they overcome the hurdles they face.

In what has been said to be “the most contentious episode” so far this season, Ethan inferred that April had murdered a patient. It certainly looks as though the doctor and nurse have hit a major roadblock in their ongoing relationship. 

Although April was heard laughing and joking with her fellow nurses earlier in the episode, her interactions with Ethan were especially tense and frosty.

With many episodes yet to come in this series, who knows whether we’ll see a reunion for these two sometime soon.

David Choi was in for a surprise when he attempted to help another nurse with a patient, and she dismissively walked away without any explanation. 

Later, Choi learned why his colleague reacted this way – the new patient, Kominsky, had set off some alarm bells amongst the other nurses.

While they had not taken him to get his labs done yet, they bluntly refused to explain why despite Choi’s persistent attempts. 

Nevertheless, all the medical staff had quickly come to the rescue of one another in order to protect each other and ultimately benefit their patients, even if it meant keeping secrets for now.

Choi’s attempt to get the nurses to do their work is met with cold reactions from them, forcing him to turn to Maggie for answers. 

She explains that one of the nurses is absent, so he must be patient. But when the nurse struggles to find a vein to draw blood from, Mr. Kominsky begins to scream in pain. 

When there are no eager nurses around, Choi takes matters into his own hands and finds out why none of the nurses wanted to do the workup – it turns out this patient assaulted one of them at some point in their lives. 

Noticing that emotion clouding their better judgement, Ethan slowly realises why they were not being professional and stands up for the medical care that needs to be provided regardless of what happened before or after.

He argues with April on this matter while she holds onto her opinion regardless.

The direction of the episode took a dramatic shift following an argument when Kominsky suddenly collapsed and died.

Choi suspected foul play and pointed fingers at the nurses while the hospital launched an investigation to uncover the cause of death.

Choi confronted April, accusing her of involvement in the patient’s death.

However, after seeking medical advice, he discovered that a small tumor had caused a spike in epinephrine, leading to the patient’s untimely demise.

He apologized to April for his accusation and admitted that he was hurt by her refusal to communicate with him.

Despite the awkwardness of their past romantic relationship, Ethan expressed a desire to move on and be friends.

However, April was unable to overlook the fact that he had accused her of murder.
