The promo for Chicago Med season 8 episode 22 briefly depicts several significant moments set to be unpacked in the highly anticipated final episode. Titled Does One Door Close And Another One Open?, the new episode will focus on Jack Dayton's surgery and OR 2.0, both of which seem to be in serious danger following some devastating revelations.

Meanwhile, Maggie begins to question her future at the hospital and wonders if it's time to move on. Here's a brief description of the episode, according to Rotten Tomatoes:

''Shocking information threatens Jack Dayton's surgery and the future of OR 2.0; Archer goes rogue to save a patient in need; Maggie questions her future at Med.''

Apart from these information, not much else is known about the plot of the final episode. The previous episode, titled Might Feel Like It's Time for a Change, focused on Jack Dayton gearing up to launch OR 2.0's IPO, although Grace and Marcel had some other plans.

Elsewhere, the episode also depicted Charles helping a patient suffering from schizophrenia in one of the most heartfelt and emotional scenes of the season. Viewers can expect the makers to provide a satisfactory end to the season in the upcoming episode. The show, however, has already been renewed for season 9, so there's still more drama left to unfold in the upcoming installment.
