Chicago Med: A glimpse at Jack Falahee’s Devin so far

Season 11, episode 4, "Family First," introduced Jack Falahee, playing Devin Carter, to Chicago Med viewers as Devin came to the hospital with his injured wife, Faye, reporting a kettle explosion. As the ER chief, Dr. Caitlin Lenox looked into the patient and realized that Faye was more injured than she let on. Moreover, the nurse noticed the patient put a red sticker on her urine sample collection, a silent call for domestic abuse.

However, when Lenox questioned her, Faye refused to admit to any domestic violence despite the doctor finding more bruises covering Faye’s body. Lenox and Ripley performed the required lacerations on the patient, who made a full recovery. They tried talking to Devin to get his reaction to the blunt force trauma on his wife’s body. While Faye refused to take the help offered by Lenox, Devin sent a veiled threat to the doctor before leaving with his wife.

Chicago Med season 11, episode 7, "Double Down," saw Jack Falahee’s Devin return to the hospital. He passed out in the pharmacy, covered in wounds and had bloody knuckles. The intoxicated Devin claimed to have been injured during a game of hockey, including hitting his head on glass. However, Lenox and Ripley knew his past as an abusive spouse and did not buy his story.

Anxious about Faye’s safety, Lenox visited their house for a wellness check. She found Faye in the basement in a bloody condition. Meanwhile, Ripley delayed Devin's release by insisting on a CT scan after his stitches. Devin was seen getting impatient to get out of the hospital. As Lenox rushed up from the basement to call the hospital, she spotted Devin before she could. He hit Lenox with the butt of his pistol, leaving her unconscious, heaped on the floor. As such, Devin had two injured hostages with him, his wife, Faye, and Dr. Lenox, as the episode came to a cliffhanging end.
