"We're The Lucky Ones": Chicago Fire "You Know Where to Find Me"



It's hard to say goodbye to a character you've known for a good time, and when it's time for a change, it's time for a change. This week's episode of Chicago Fire sparks onto one man, Peter Mills.

Mills decides to leave Firehouse 51 after he just got back into Squad. His family wants to take the restaurant left by his grandfather in North Carolina.

Many things happen in this episode, like Severide and April spending time together. I'm thinking she'll be back after her trip.

Herrmann has become that coach who puts his kid first before the team because he thinks that his son is good. Otis and Cruz tell him he must bench his son for the Peewee hockey Championship. Herrmann didn't like it at first, but he did it.

Since Mills was back in Squad, Dawson had to same the House and Britt from Mills' replacement. Dawson is back on 61, YES! It felt great seeing her back working as a paramedic.

And, of course, Casey and Dawson, who may see to let their one-night thing go, but I'm not so sure that it's going to end like that. Something is going to happen.

There was a call from a man who was stuck on a lamppost and tried to commit suicide. He kept saying banana, but we found out he was telling his wife's name, who died in another country due to a civil war there.

For this being Mill's last shift, it sure wasn't wasted at all. When a car accident call comes, Severide checks the driver and says he's not breathing and is dead because he wasn't wearing his seat belt. But Mills found out that the driver had an issue with his arm and took it off, which got Mills to get him out and do CPR and finally got him to breathe again.

That was one hell of a save.

So we come to where Casey is at the strip club, where he's doing a little work for the owner and meeting with some business folks. Something may be fishy with that guy.

And, of course, the going away party. You can feel the emotion in the air or, in this case, by watching. Everyone gave great speeches, including Mills. In this case, we're feeling what Cruz and Britt are feeling. We don't want him to go, but we respect his decision to leave to be with his family.

He'll always be part of 51. I loved that one big group hug.

I thought that this episode was terrific. It had everything from humor, drama, and an emotional goodbye. I hate saying goodbye like that; I get misty eyes at times.

I do understand what the producers are doing. Suppose you want the show to keep going; changes must happen for the stories to get good. I know I wouldn't say I like goodbyes, and I didn't think that Shay's death was tremendous, but it did tell one hell of a story arc for our characters.

This episode was one of the most emotional episodes.

And, of co, this coming week is the start of #CrossoverWeek. Fire, PD, and SVU reunite for the television event that no one should miss. This case will be anything like the one in November. So hang on and sit tight for that one.

I will probably write Fire, PD, and SVU all in one, and with Fire rearing Wednesday night, I might do that.

Who's excited for #CrossoverWeek?

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