Following the events of Chicago Med Season 12 Episode 4, taking the photos, promo, and synopsis as a starting point, let’s speculate about Chicago Med Season 12 Episode 5 ‘Baptism by Fire’!
In this episode, we’re ready to see more of Charles! His new patient will require his full effort not just to help him, but to understand him as well. It seems the boy hears angelic voices warning him that bad things are about to happen which is, to say the least, quite unsettling. Especially when the little boy goes missing and no one can find him!
On top of that, Trudy Platt is in town! She’s here to investigate a cold case, and while we don’t know why, we suspect that the two cases might end up being connected somehow. Meanwhile, Frost is faced with news that could change everything. Are we nervous? Well, yes—let’s be honest, we definitely are.
We can’t wait to see it all unfold!

Are there Pictures for ‘Baptism by Fire’?
As has often been the case lately, the photos don’t give us much to work with, but they do show that our favorite doctors will have their hands full during this episode. And our new—not-so-favorite—Dr. Annie has an exchange with Charles that we can’t wait to see. And we love it! Here’re the photos for the hour:







What’s the Synopsis for the Episode?
The synopsis provides a bit more information than the photos, though not too much. The episode gives Charles something to work with. The child he is treating appears to be at the center of the fire that brought several patients to the hospital.
But there’s more: the boy claims to hear voices, and what they’re telling him isn’t very pleasant. Meanwhile, Trudy Platt has arrived to investigate an old case—could this case and the fire be connected? Finally, Frost is about to receive some significant news, which has us feeling a bit uneasy.
Here is the synopsis for Season 12 Episode 5 ‘Baptism by Fire’:
Suspicions abound when a young injured boy and three burn victims are brought into the E.D.; Sgt. Platt visits Gaffney to probe a cold case; Frost gets some news.

Is There a Promo For the Hour?
Yeah! But, unfortunately, the show is keeping almost all of its secrets under wraps. The promo focuses in a boy who, while speaking with Dr. Charles, makes it clear that something bad is about to happen—and then disappears. Everyone springs into action to find him, including our favorite sergeant, Trudy Platt. Here’s the promo of the episode:
