A new One Chicago romance is brewing after Chicago Med heartthrob Dr. John Frost (Darren Barnett) joined forces with Chicago Fire sweetheart Lizzy Novak (Jocelyn Hudon) on a heartwarming mission in Season 11’s “The Story of Us.”
Chihards love any excuse for a crossover moment, especially when they come with some juicy Windy City romance. Frost has had eyes for fellow Gaffney resident Naomi (Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut) for quite some time, finally taking the leap and asking her out on a date. Charmed yet apprehensive, Naomi graciously turned Frost down due to their coworker status, and Frost took the rejection like a champ.
While stung, Frost had little time to harp on the blow after Chicago Fire paramedics Violet Mikami (Hanako Greensmith) and Lizzy Novak arrived at Gaffney with two children who’d been stung by hornets while playing in a treehouse.
Frost’s unlucky-in-love streak came to a swift end as soon as he met Lizzy and discovered someone with just as big a heart as him. Here’s what happened:
John Frost met Lizzy Novak while helping kids at Gaffney
While treating the kids, Frost soon realized the young boy, Adrian, had a crush on the girl, Lexi, who’d taken the brunt of the damage from Adrian’s bright idea of screwing with a hornet’s nest. After Lexi was wheeled into surgery, Adrian told Frost that Lexi’s pet bunny had been abandoned in the treehouse during the incident. Already guilt-ridden due to the incident, Adrian hoped someone could find the bunny as a comfort to his friend when she woke up.
After catching the Firehouse 51 paramedics just as they were leaving Gaffney, Frost asked Lizzy and Violet if they could swing by the treehouse to look for the rabbit, giving them the lowdown on Adrian and Lexi. Violet apologized and turned him down due to their heavy workload. Lizzy told Frost that it sounded like he had a “pet project” on his hands, wishing him and the kids well as Ambo 61 was whisked away on some pressing call.
Frost and Lizzy had an adorable impromptu treehouse date
Despite the chaos over at Firehouse 51, Frost was shocked to discover Lizzy already at the treehouse after launching his bunny search. As the rabbit hid out of reach, Lizzy and Frost had some time to kill, chatting about his history as a teenage heartthrob, which didn’t impress Lizzy too much.
Frost and Lizzy’s effortless flirtations were interrupted by the bunny’s eventual arrival, but it was clear that the Gaffney doctor was charmed by the Firehouse 51 sweetheart from the get-go. Frost later returned the bunny to a recovered Lexi, which scored Adrian some major brownie points with his crush.
Just as sparks began to fly between Frost and Lizzy, Naomi connected with Hannah Asher (Jessy Schram) about her crush on Frost. Naomi admitted that she regretted rejecting her fellow resident. She really liked him, but was worried about how she would be perceived around the hospital if they were to date. As someone who has dated a few Gaffney colleagues, Hannah told Naomi that it was impossible to control who she liked, encouraging her to go for it.
Emboldened, Naomi made to approach Frost and take him up on his offer to go out, only to find him and Lizzy chatting up a storm in the Gaffney lobby.
As two of the most charming One Chicago newcomers, Lizzy and Frost’s chemistry was instantly explosive during Med‘s latest, and Chihards can’t wait to see where this love connection heads next. Watch Chicago Med on Wednesdays at 8/7c on NBC and the next day on Peacock.
