We Can Hear it All The Way Here: Chicago Fire "Chopper"



This week's episode of "Chicago Fire" deals with its most significant rescue action so far, a chopper crashing on top of an apartment building, plus a lot of drama before and after.

We start with seeing Chief Boden and his wife at the doctor's office, checking on their baby. Both excited and nervous, the doctor took an ultrasound and showed the nearly fully grown baby, but then the doctor saw something and wanted to check.

He found out later that his wife was at a certain age, and there would be some complications. That took Boden and his wife into some severe withdrawal of not speaking to one another. But near the end, they get a call from the doctor to come in; Boden comes and sees his wife there.

She talks to him and soon discovers they will have a baby boy. That's pretty much the best news after all the things that have happened, too.

We're going to see some severe moments with Severide and his wife. After making noises that could be heard past the state line of Illinois, including Casey's apartment, Casey and Dawson think it's time for them to leave if they'll be like this every night.

Severide and his wife talk, and when he sees the time, he has to get going to work.  But she doesn't want him to go and take a day off. But he didn't want to, so he soon left.

That makes things a bit worse down the road in the episode. When an accident of a chopper lands on top of an apartment, when she hears it on the street, she texts Severide a lot and even calls him. At one point, she goes to the scene and freaks out about his safety.

After the accident and everything had calmed down, she and Kelly talked, and soon it turned into an argument about how he could die right then and there, but he soon forgave and made up. This is going to be a significant issue in this relationship.  I had already placed my bet, saying four to five episodes, this relationship won't last.

Meanwhile, we saw one of the best action-packed scenes that the Firehouse gang faced this season: the chopper comes down by a drone from some kid who was flying it. Amazing how a couple of pieces of the helicopter went in different directions; the tail rotor landed on a lady, and one guy in a van was had a bit of metal in his stomach.

Britt treated that guy, but before she treated him, she noticed that he had a bag of IDs and such. He's one of those undercover hitmen. After pulling a gun and telling her that he doesn't need to go in, she treats him and leaves him.

It wasn't until near the end, when Britt left work that someone was following her in the car. After driving fast and slow, she turns into an alley, and it turns out to be that guy that she treated. He wanted to thank her for treating him and saving him. He gave her a card and told her if she needed help with anything she could call him for help....that's anything!!

I think that card will be handy in next week's episode when Mils tries to save a life, but the person doesn't make it. The father of the victim is upset and soon threatens Mils. What will happen? We'll have to find out.

You can catch "Chicago Fire " on Tuesday nights at 10/9c on NBC
