After last week's emotional episode, we're back to normal where Dawson is back at 51, but politics are getting in the way.
Dawson opens up to Chaplin about what she went through and how she feels about it. Again, Monica gives an excellent performance in that scene. But she's back to work and back at 51. But there's one issue in the way, or should I say person: Chief Riddle.
Riddle appears at 51, complaining to Bowden about how House 51 is running like a public servant to people and pushing Bowden's buttons with the gossip that "he's not listening" but brings it up.
Riddle meets with Dawson to discuss her review as she's fit to come back. He pushes her to the limit about the baby and Casey and advises them to take time off, which upsets Dawson. Riddle is coming after 51, and he's making a mark on it.
He also gets into Severide's case when he's up to get his job back after answering a question wrong about letting the public into the firehouse with a wedding. Turns out Severide answered wrong and didn't get his job back.
And as soon as Riddle leaves with Patterson, he tells him a job might open up. After what's been going on, I've been thinking that Patterson has been a pet set to push Bowden and Severide away, but then during the wedding, he's helping by playing music. Patterson is a flip-flop of a character that I can't tell if he's good or bad, but one thing is for sure: Severide isn't going away.
Meanwhile, the House plans a wedding for a couple who lost their ceremony in a fire. The husband was admitted to Chicago Med and treated by Halstead. After a few complications, the wedding was set, and the couple got married.
Also, Chili and Jimmy have made a connection. After Chili states that she doesn't want to get married, she tells her story about her folks. Jimmy feels sorry for her but continues to talk about the subject of marriage. Soon, at the night's end, they leave Molly's, and Chili kisses Jimmy after a day he has had.
The rivalry between Severide and Patterson is getting heated up. And in next week's episode, the heat will rise, and the flames will be scorching.
I enjoyed this episode. I enjoyed Rayund's performance in the first scene of the episode. It reminds me of how she opened up about the loss of Shay (sorry to bring that back up). Also, I see the tension between Severide and Patterson a lot. I feel that sooner or later, the two will punch it out. And what can I say about Britt's performance? I turn my chair if she wants on The Voice. I didn't know that Killmer could sing.
Overall, I give this episode 8.5/10,
You can catch Chicago Fire on Tuesday nights at 10/9c; plus, you can see the premiere of Chicago Med next Tuesday at 9/8c on NBC.
