She then found a woman, Cassidy, waiting for her in her office. Goodwin had no idea who she was until Cassidy told her, \u201cDo you know why you don\u2019t remember me? Because I don\u2019t matter to you. My wife certainly did not matter to you.\u201d In the premiere, Goodwin had to make the tough call on who would receive the last of their blood supply following a ship capsizing; her wife died without the blood. \u201cYou knew it was a death sentence,\u201d Cassidy said.<\/p>\n<p>Goodwin tried to defend the protocol, which isn\u2019t perfect but tries to be fair (who has the best chance), but Cassidy stabbed her. Goodwin tried to get through to her, to no avail. Why isn\u2019t she scared, Cassidy wondered. \u201cI don\u2019t want to die, but I don\u2019t regret one moment of my life. I have known love. I have three amazing children. I\u2019m a grandmother. And I have lived a life of purpose,\u201d Goodwin told her.<\/p>\n<p>When Cassidy asked what she thought happens when you die, Goodwin said, \u201cI hope that I\u2019m reunited with the people that I\u2019ve lost and that my children carry just a little piece of me as they move on.\u201d But Cassidy admitted she didn\u2019t know how to move on from her wife\u2014and knew Goodwin was right that that was because she was letting her love for her tear her apart.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inline-callout\">\n<div class=\"inline-callout-content\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/gallery\/chicago-med-fire-pd-returns-2025-goodwin-alive-dead-herrmann-chief\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"156\" width=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/chicago-fire-cruz-pd-reid-med-goodwin-234x155.jpg\" alt=\"8 Burning Questions for One Chicago&#039;s 2025 Return\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"inline-callout-label\">Related<\/div>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/gallery\/chicago-med-fire-pd-returns-2025-goodwin-alive-dead-herrmann-chief\/\">8 Burning Questions for One Chicago&#8217;s 2025 Return<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Then came a sign of hope: Archer (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/people\/steven-weber\/\">Steven Weber<\/a>) dropping off his resignation letter.

S. Epatha Merkerson is one of the few stars still around since the series premiere, and it\u2019s impossible to imagine the show without her. But we do think this is about to be the fight for her life\u2014and maybe Archer will be injured in the process. (We doubt he\u2019s about to be killed off, either, but rather, this will be what makes him change his mind about resigning.) We also wouldn\u2019t be surprised if there\u2019s a time jump either in the midseason premiere or before the one after it, to move Goodwin along in her recovery and begin exploring how she\u2019s been affected by what happened.<\/p>\n<p>But what do you think?
