What the premiere is about
"We All Fall Down" picks up immediately after the Season 10 finale and drops the ED into a fresh crisis. Victims from a house fire flood Gaffney Chicago Medical Center, which means triage chaos and everyone sprinting. Dr. Ripley Lennox zeroes in on two sisters hurt at a tragic all-night rave, trying to keep both alive. And behind the curtains, Goodwin and Dr. Abrams are butting heads over staffing changes that are, frankly, the kind administrators love and doctors hate. If you enjoy the inside-baseball HR drama that bubbles under these cases, this one leans into it.
