In Chicago Med Season 10 Episode 16, titled Poster Child, Dr. Frost treated a young boy named Liam, who had been secretly making himself vomit to suppress his feelings for other boys. With Dr. Charles’ help, Frost worked carefully to make sure Liam got the help he needed without exposing him to his parents.

Liam’s mother refused to accept the truth, while his father eventually reassured his son that he loved him no matter what. Meanwhile, Frost also struggled with his own past when Ainsley, a former co-star who had played his mother on a TV show, visited the hospital.

While Ainsley had once protected him, she had also been in an inappropriate relationship with him when he was underage. Maggie noticed Frost’s discomfort and urged him to face what had happened. By the end of the episode, he turned down Ainsley’s attempt to reconnect and go on a dinner.
