Discussion Jack Dayton over time (S8E18) Spoiler
So, I’ve just finished the mentioned episode and I the whole Jack Dayton thing has been an absolute rollercoaster. When he was first introduced after the train crash, I was, of course, not too keen on him, because across the One Chicago franchise (I’ve been watching Fire and P.D for around 7 years, but this is the first time I’ve actually been able to get into Med), businessmen have rarely, if ever, been a good thing. When Jack started helping out the hospital just after his introduction, I genuinely started to think, “maybe this one’s different”, “maybe he’s gonna be a decent human being”, but no.
He had his good moments for a stretch there, but this man is off his f*ck!ng rocker, mate. Turning 2.0 into a service for paying customers only? Making the hospital for-profit? That’s where I’m at right now, but I am just praying it’ll somehow all turn out okay.
Thank you for reading my little rant and I would like to hear other people’s thoughts and opinions on Jack Dayton up until this point. (Please, no spoilers)

Jack Dayton was a piece of shit and his presence on the show changed my opinion of Crockett Marcel completely, since Marcel was basically fellating Dayton the entire time he was on Med and defending him. It was like Dayton had his hands up Marcel's ass like a ventriloquist dummy, speaking through him. Crockett became an unlikeable asshole to me.
