Archer is one of actor Steven Weber’s best TV characters. He has been the head of the ED since his arrival in season 6, when he took the role on an interim basis as a favor to Choi (Brian Tee), with whom he served in the Navy.

Archer Resigns to Gaffney on Chicago Med Season 10 Episode 8

He places a letter under Goodwin’s door

During most of “Love Will Tear Us Apart”, Archer appears to be happier than before his demotioneven telling Hannah that “being demoted gives you time to do tasks like going to the grocery store.” He wishes Lenox the best and tells her that he won’t cause her any trouble now that she’s his boss, surprising her and everyone who witnesses it. He even gets ordained online so he can officiate a patient’s wedding, joking that he will marry them”by the power bestowed on me by some random website.”

Hannah is Archer’s closest friend and believes she can leverage their relationship to talk Archer out of this idea, but he goes ahead, delivering the letter despite promising Hannah that he will reconsider.

Why Archer’s Firing From Chicago Med Is So Surprising

It’s not like him to refuse to fight

Archer’s demotion in Chicago Middle Season 10 Episode 7 pushed him into out-of-character behavior. This started with his refusal to fight Goodwin’s decision, with him buying a round for everyone at Molly’s after learning he would no longer be co-head of the ED. This is a man whose introduction to Gaffney Medical Center involved purposely putting a patient into a coma so he could impose treatment the patient didn’t want – and who later refused to admit that his kidney disease meant he couldn’t work full time . . That’s why, their lack of fight at the time of relegation seemed strange.

The most likely explanation for this change in behavior is that Archer is hiding and pretending to accept the demotion while plotting to regain the position of head of the ED and get rid of Lenox. However, his decision to submit a letter of resignation suggests that he does not have a master plan and wants to leave quietly. Choosing to bow out without a fight is so unlike Archer that it should be a warning sign that he is having a serious mental health issue because of this demotion.

Is Chicago Med Season 10 Really Writing About Archer?

He’s more likely to change his mind given Goodwin’s suspense

Steven Weber was with Chicago Middle since season 6, and actors often leave to pursue other projects after several years with the same series. However, there is no news suggesting that Weber has decided to abandon the medical drama, and he was confirmed as part of the Chicago Middle season 10 cast before it starts. Additionally, Weber is excited about the direction new showrunner Allen MacDonald is taking, telling Cinema mix, “People are really enjoying the show and participating in it and looking forward to it… That’s a function of our new writers..”

Archer dislikes change and often fights against it to the end. He was previously unwilling to cede control of the ED to Choi when he returned to work, and his close friendship with Hannah is surprising considering how hard he tried to convince Sharon not to rehire someone who had a drug problem in the past. That’s why, It’s likely that this resignation letter isn’t the end of Archer’s story.

Chicago Medium’Season 10’s Sharon stalker storyline provides the most likely reason for Archer to change his mind. He is unaware that Sharon is being held hostage in her office while delivering the letter, but Sharon temporarily gets the upper hand on her attacker and knocks on the door, trying to get his attention, just as her elevator doors close again. . Thus, Archer will likely be instrumental in Sharon’s rescue when Chicago Middle returns from its mid-season hiatus. The experience may make him realize that he is still needed at the hospital.
