April (Yaya DaCosta) faces a big challenge, while Dr. Charles (Oliver Platt) grows concerned about his daughter's interest in Dr. Rhodes (Colin Donnell) in the upcoming episode of NBC's medical drama "Chicago Med" season 2.

Titled "Free Will," next week's episode will explore disputes with some of the patient's families. According to the official synopsis for episode 8, Dr. Halstead (Nick Gehlfuss) and Dr. Manning (Torrey DeVitto) must deal with two conflicting brothers who are brought together after one of them finds himself in dire need of a kidney. Dr. Reese's (Rachel DiPillo) former patient Danny (guest star Nick Marini) must make a very important decision, while Dr. Rhodes and his mentor Dr. Latham (guest star Ato Assandoh) tend to a 16-year-old girl with a genetic condition. The teenager is in need of surgery, but her overprotective mother makes the process more complicated when she disagrees with the doctors' course of action.

A convict voluntarily puts himself in the hospital, but the doctors suspect that he has a different intention. Dr. Halstead and April make a discovery that further complicates her treatment for TB, while Dr. Charles can't help himself from meddling in his daughter Robyn's (guest star Mekia Cox) personal life.

Over the past few episodes, viewers saw a new working relationship between Doctors Reese and Charles. Although Reese initially thought she was heading to the pathology department, she soon realized that she wants to work with patients instead. Speaking with E! News, Platt shared his thoughts on Reese's decision. "I don't think it was actually soulful enough for her," he stated. "I don't think that's a word that Sarah Reese would use but she was obviously looking for meaning."

DiPillo also gave her take on her character's perspective, saying: "I feel like she was walking one walk but her talk was getting in her way. Her talk was 'pathology, pathology, pathology,' but her walk [wasn't]. When you went back and looked at, it was fitting."

Keep tuning in to "Chicago Med" season 2 airing every Thursday night at 9 p.m. ET on NBC.
