I knew it! As soon as Archer issued his ultimatum about one of them leaving the ED Chief position, it was inevitable that Goodwin would demote him. Threats never pay, and Archer’s obnoxious behavior at the case review didn’t help matters. Chicago Med ‘s Season 10 Episode 7 offered a resolution to the Archer/Lenox conflict — for now, anyway.

Archer and Lenox Seemed To Be Competing To See Who Could Be More Irritating On Chicago Med Season 10 Episode 7 The case review scene was hard to take. Lenox was trying to express herself professionally, but Archer decided to be super aggressive. He wouldn’t let her speak.

In the space of a few seconds, he hurled about a billion accusations at her, and he wouldn’t shut up so that the meeting could proceed. Archer’s claim that Lenox did whatever she wanted and didn’t care about patient autonomy was rich, coming from him. One of his first stories on Chicago Med was about him deliberately putting a patient in a coma so he could override their wishes and do a procedure they’d refused to consent to! After that scene, I was Team Lenox, but then Lenox had to be impatient and nasty to Student Doctor Howard for no good reason.

She gave contradictory instructions and then was abusive to Howard when she didn’t follow them. Half of her anger was probably because she was in a bad mood about the way Archer had treated her, but that wasn’t an excuse. Lenox needed to be professional enough to leave her anger at the door and be fair to.
