What to expect in 'What's Hiding in the Dark'
The simmering personal rift between Asher and Archer reaches a breaking point. Not long after, Charles and Ripley stumble into a rare neurological disorder that sends them down a diagnostic rabbit hole. And Goodwin? Her personal life gets hit with something big enough to shake her, even by Med standards. In other words: classic Med chaos, just turned up a notch.
