Dr. Mitch Ripley’s journey in Chicago Med Season 10 is a compelling narrative filled with tension and uncertainty. As characters often face significant challenges before their departure from a series, viewers are left wondering about Ripley’s fate following a recent incident that resulted in his suspension. Chicago Med fans have expressed their concerns about whether Ripley will continue at Gaffney after his recent blunder. In an interview with TV Line, actor Luke Mitchell emphasized Ripley’s immediate personal struggles. “What his life looks like professionally will take second fiddle to whether he still has a life at the end of this episode. [Laughs] He needs to survive this next episode to worry about anything to do with his job,” Mitchell remarked, hinting at Ripley’s precarious situation during a dramatic well rescue in the latest episode.
“But if, hypothetically, he does survive this episode, I don’t know what that road looks like,” Mitchell confessed, acknowledging the complexity of Ripley’s current predicament and the difficult path ahead. The actor shared his hopes for Ripley’s redemption, stating, “Personally, I hope that he wins favor back from Goodwin, and she changes her mind, and the board makes the decision to keep him around, because that means I still have a job, and I very much like working on Chicago Med. [Laughs] But we’ll have to wait and see. I think that would be more of a redemption arc for Ripley post-Episode 15, should he survive.”
Unraveling the Fate of Ripley in Season 10, Episode 15 of ‘Chicago Med’
In the gripping episode airing on March 5, titled “Ripley,” viewers witness the intense struggle of Ripley as he attempts to save a woman and her daughter who are trapped in an abandoned well. Meanwhile, an old friend from Frost’s (Darren Barnet) television days shadows Maggie (Marlyne Barret), and Asher (Jessy Schram) uncovers an extremely rare medical condition in one of her patients during an ultrasound. The official logline hints at a heartbreaking twist as Ripley appears to fall to the bottom of the well, losing consciousness. “He kind of ends up finding himself in, arguably, worse danger than they were in. I don’t know exactly what I can spoil, but it is a life-or-death situation from the outset with the mother and daughter, but then, certainly, by the end of the episode, for Ripley,” Mitchell teased, building anticipation for the episode’s outcome.
If Ripley manages to survive the harrowing experience in the well, he may finally have the opportunity to reassess his career and professional relationships. Will he make it through this perilous situation? Is Chicago Med gearing up to bid farewell to the character of Ripley? Viewers can tune in to NBC on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET to catch new episodes and discover the fate of their favorite characters.
