Chicago Med Season 13, Episode 10, "Take a Look in the Mirror," is a meant to be an episode about introspection. Several characters are forced to look at themselves and their past actions. However, it also provides an opportunity to fans to look at what the NBC show has done in its first season under new showrunner Allen MacDonald.

"Take a Look in the Mirror" addresses some of the ongoing questions that Chicago Med has dealt with. There's the further development of the divisive Dr. Caitlin Lenox and the aftermath of Dr. Mitch Ripley's equally controversial decision-making. The series also finally addresses what it's trying to do with Dr. Daniel Charles and nurse Jackie Nelson. Fans will not be satisfied with all of the choices made in this episode, but at least they leave it with clarity.

Season 10, Episode 13 continues Chicago Med's quest to make viewers like Dr. Caitlin Lenox, and it works pretty well. The pre-crossover episode "Broken Hearts" gave some insight into Lenox's backstory, but it felt like an information dump since most of it came out in a monologue. In this episode, Lenox butts heads with Naomi Howard, which throws her for a loop. But that opens the door for Lenox and Dr. Dean Archer to have a real conversation in which they can finally relate to one another instead of just fighting. Archer winds up giving Lenox some pointers on mentorship, and their relationship in this episode is far more interesting than it's ever been.
