Both have evolved professionally and emotionally in ways that allow them finally to join their lives together." (Via Digital Spy)The showrunner further said:"When they reconnected earlier this season, April saw that Ethan was now more open, less rigid; and Ethan realized he could now be the man she needed. This allowed the feelings both still felt for one another to blossom." (Via Digital Spy)Actor Brian Tee, who plays Ethan Choi, also opened up about the episode and his exit from Chicago Med. He said:"Playing Dr Ethan Choi on Chicago Med has been such a gift and a blessing. I am forever grateful to our fans and my colleagues both in front of and behind the camera as I embark on a new journey. I am forever indebted to Dick Wolf, NBC, and Universal Television for choosing me." (Via Digital Spy)The actor further said:"What we’ve been planning for Dr. Choi’s send-off is fitting and beautiful. I think the fans are going to absolutely love it. It’s going to bring a little bit of the new Ethan and a little bit of the old. I know that episode 9 is going to be an amazing one."
