Teniosn and Reunion: Chicago Fire "Red Rag the Bull"

It's pretty good you know who your friends are and your enemies too. This week's episode of Chicago Fire brought the heat up a bit with the tensions and also a family reunion?

Tension rises between the new chief and Casey even more when he confronts him about how they should share the divorce alimony. Then of course, Welch didn't help things either being in between them.

It was when they get a call to a apartment fire that things really took off. When they get there, there was a girl in there but just before going in, someone down the street was running to get help that her grandfather fell. The new chief decided that Casey and his team need to go and Severide's team take the fire.

That turned out to be the wrong decision. As Severide and Capp rescue the little girl, to their acknowledge that no one else was there, the tenant of the apartment jumped off the third floor as he was trying to help look for the girl.

The new chief gave his version to the bosses, but when Severide heard some of it. He decided to give his own version of what actually happen. So with two firefighter's own version, the chief tried to get Welch to sign his version of what happen but he decided not to after Casey saving his life from a drive by shooting during a call.

Welch was dismissed from House 51, but the important part of this was that Casey and Welch kind of settled their differences and shook hands. Finally that bad blood had ended.

Even though I do love heavy rivalry between a group or two people, I love how this handled out with Welch finally seeing how good of a firefighter Casey really is.

Another matter, apparently Mouch is a father. It was years ago that Mouch had done some sperm donating as anonymous, but a computer issue accidentally released his name and well his son has been trying to contact him.

Mouch for most of the episode not wanting to see him but when Pratt talks to him he does make an effort but then left.

I thought it was a great character development for Mouch. We get to see him struggle with this life decision of will he or won't he meet with his son. I was mad that he didn't get to see him in person.

One more thing, I thought it was one of the funniest stories in this episode, when Herrmann got to visit Bowden just to talk about what's going on over at House 51. Bowden's wife comes down, sent him to take care of their son and that's when she told Herrmann that he needs to go back to work.

After the results with the new chief, Bowden is back and his wife gave one of the best pretend reactions I've ever seen.

All in all, I thought that this episode was pretty good. I loved the tension between the new chief and Casey and Severide, and I thought that the storyline was tight and nice that it was a good two story arc. If things might get better , who knows?  But next week deals with Severide rescuing someone in a van but that van is under a pile of rocks. Can he get out before him, the victim become a squash bug?
