The Fire Burns Even Higher: Chicago Fire "I Walk Away"

As the arson investigation heats up, the fire burns oh so high for Dawson and Bowden as evidence shows who's behind it.

When a call comes of a man who has his foot smashed from a moving boxcar, the wife of the patient comes forward after seeing how they saved her husband's life. She gives them a video that shows them that House 51 was indeed trying to stop the fire with a resident not carrying.

That's the evidence that Dawson and Bowden need to complete the investigation. As Dawson looks into it, Kelly's study buddy helps out and spots a famous realtor who is the suspect. Dawson gets her reports in order and hands them to Duffy, which he is happy with, but he still needs more evidence instead of going to CPD.

That makes her go to Bowden and show him what she has, and he agrees that this is all enough. Instead of going to the CFD, he goes to the Sun-Times and gives them a report. That sets a backlash, and later, as Bowden goes to Dawson for the evidence, they aren't there.

Meanwhile, Britt is still dealing with the baby John. She's getting so attached and emotional with the kid I thought that she was going to adopt him. Well, it didn't happen, but after almost getting shot, she gets help from Dr. Charles from Chicago Med, who locates the father and tells him about the kid. And it sure made Britt feel like a winner when the father came and held his son.

Casey and Jimmy are building a perfect lieutenant/candidate relationship. It makes me want to think of Benton and Carter's relationship. I'm very much impressed by Steven McQueen's performance and his character. I do think that maybe if he stays alive, he could be in a leading role. But don't tear my head off from that; it's just a thought.

Kelly and Jamie are in a serious relationship when he lets her drive his car and wear his Blackhawks jersey. But as always, it turns south during a news conference of Roger Maddox on his accusation of setting those houses on fire.

But it was at the end that left us on the edge of our seats (this one moved up from second to first level) as Dawson was looking for those files; they were no longer in the computer and not the filing cabinet. Dawson starts to have pain in her stomach. She's gone into early labor. Bowden calls Casey, and we are off to Chicago Med next week.

This episode was outstanding. I'm relieved that Britt has finally found the light of this baby situation. I know she cares a lot, and what she did was a great thing. As I said before, McQueen is growing on me. I love how he talked to the wife of the husband when they had to take the guy's leg off and also stand up to his brother. The guy's gotta fly sometime, right?

It was nice to see Oliver Platt as Dr. Daniel Charlies, who helps Britt with the baby situation. The man breaks the rules to help, and I love it.

Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.
