SPOILER ALERT: The following contains spoilers for Chicago Med Season 11, Episode 2.

The best thing about Chicago Med Season 11, Episode 2 is that it doesn’t feel like a milestone episode—until the shock ending. It’s business as usual on the NBC medical drama. That means a few mistakes and some important moments of reflection. And the return of Nick Gehlfuss as Will Halstead is just the cherry on top.

Let’s take the good parts of “A Game of Inches” first: even though Will’s return is the biggest part of the episode for fans, the hour does not completely revolve around his character. He has a role to play in the primary case of the week, but so does Dr. John Frost and so does Dr. Caitlin Lenox. So many TV shows bring back characters and spend so much time celebrating them that they forget the ensemble that’s already there. Chicago Med doesn’t do that.
