'Chicago Med' Season 5 Episode 6 will see Dr. Natalie Manning deal with the repercussions of her impulsive behavior

Natalie forcibly administered antibiotics to a child whose parents had not consented and she could face the aftereffects of this for a long time.

Dr. Natalie Manning has been having a tough few episodes in this season of 'Chicago Med'. After the car crash in the season 4 finale, Natalie woke up to learn that she has head trauma and that she doesn't remember a few things before the accident. Her coy boyfriend, Phillip, takes advantage of the situation and slips a ring onto her finger while she was unconscious and tells her when she wakes up that she accepted his proposal.

This, of course, did not sit well with Dr. Will Halstead who is convinced that Natalie needs to remember something, and he is extra hard on her as she comes back to work. It's clear that all this tension built up to Natalie doing what she did last week --forcibly treating a child whose parents only believed in natural remedies with antibiotics as they screamed at her to stop.

In this Wednesday's episode of 'Chicago Med', viewers will see that Natalie will face some repercussions for her actions, after all, they can be considered as assault. And so, we see that the police have come to the hospital, probably to arrest Natalie. What happens to Natalie depends on the parents, but let's hope she can count on Will to support her through this situation. 

Elsewhere in the episode, siblings April and Noah Sexton will disagree over a patient who is injured after a beating. Considering Noah's behavior in recent episodes, this is not hard to imagine. This might even see the involvement of Dr. Ethan Choi -- April's boyfriend -- and Dr. Crockett Marcel -- the new ED doctor who could stir up some trouble for Ethan and April.

We will also see Dr. Charles visited by an old friend with a surprising revelation. Over the last few episodes, we've seen more of Charles's personal life, especially with his wife battling cancer. It will be good to learn more about his childhood.

'Chicago Med' airs on NBC on Wednesday nights.
