Chicago Fire "Scorched Earth" & "Nobody Else Is Dying Today"

Image result for Chicago Fire




"Scorched Earth" 

In this episode, the heat has been turned up as word gets out about Louie, and Dawson isn't happy; Casey tries to handle it but figures something that fishy, and one firefighter tries to help a sick, runaway kid. 

When Dawson gets a phone call regarding that, they get an anteroom someone about "someone" (Casey) using political leverage to get Louie's adoption faster for her. That leads to Dawson being distraught while Casey tries to handle it with help from Susan. 

After dodging the Sun-Times, Casey meets with Susan again about the situation as it was done and sealed. But that gave Casey a thought about how all of this went down. He goes back to the reporter and learns word that Susan is also part of another politician who threatens Caseyn with the situation. And well, that led to telling Susan to get the hell out of his life, threatening her pretty good.

Meanwhile, when the house gets a call of an underground fire, the kids live there and rescue them. Stella recused one, who happened in the back, and had to detour out of there. She talks to the kid and leaves him with Dawson as she returns to get his backpack, but by the time she returns, the kid is back at 51; she checks through the kid's backpack and finds comics, an ID, and even medicine for Hep. C. She goes to Antonio for help, and when he returns with information, let's say it's not good and that she should find the kid before CPD gets a hold of him. She goes to Bowden for help and pulls off probably a cheap shot, but in the, after waiting for the kid and bringing him back, a deal from Goodwin and Jefferies, everything again. 

Also to note: Severide learns about how a gooreasonablerson, his new "friend," is when it comes to being such a high social media star after a lady was found OD and he dropped her off on the bench at Med. Britt and Antonio's relationship sparks even more, and she makes the first and last move to get the ball going. At the beginning of the episode, we learn that Jimmy has been moved to a new hospital for special treatment, as he has a long recovery.

"Nobody Else is Dying Today"

In this type of story, Casey tries to save two people from an acid spill, while Dawson is angry not only at Casey but also at a home care provider. And Ogoes to space? 

Given that this is a Casey stand-alone episode, like what Severide had in season 2, it has to be one of the most on-the-edge-of-your-seat episodes of the fall season. 

Casey and Dawson had a heated moment when it came to watching Louie, even though Casey had to have a warehouse and play golf with several influential people. With one look, he can cancel but goes to inspect the warehouse. As he meets with the owner, an accident occurs, and a spill of sulfuric acid. He pulls the driver out and into another room, where the guy's daughter is i

They wait for help, but when Casey looks around, he sees that the owner must have returned to get rid of papers and got caught in the fumes. So now Casey must try to get into the next room and make the call, but with one option turned to another, and the last one came when he had to break through the brick wall and create a hole big enough for the driver's daughter to get out and call for help. 

Meanwhile, Dawson, who's made at Casey, deals with a home care service when a patient who fell denies going to the hospital, saying that it's her refuseth refuse service. But when I came to the next call, the patient had a few cuts, and Dawson decided to take her to Med, but she wanted to go to a hospital that's 10 minutes away as Med is shorter. Dawson went against her orders and took her to Med. 

Does anyone know of Otis going to space? Sounds like something Ernest would do. But eating astronaut food and training appeared impossible until we learned it was a joke from Cruz. Otis knew it was a joke when he gave him a thing of cricket protein powder, which put him into Cruz's drink. 

Dawson gets worried about Casey afterhdoesn'tn't pick Louie up. But by the time Sher and Britt were about to head out, they got a call, and it was to the warehouse that Casey was at. Things got out of control when the electricity was sparking all over. The squad gets in there but can't do anything til the power is shut off. The Truck gets to the power and shuts it off, but the main line has to be pulled off. After that, Casey and the driver were saved,d and Dawson and he had a moment when they saw the driver and his daughter happy and laughing. 

Thoughts:

"Scorched Earth" was a good, average episode that probably won't be remembered again, but one that you can enjoy and move on. Casey and Dawson's story was good, but the one moment that stood out in that storyline was when Casey threatened Susan to get out of their lives; just the look and the tension were enough to believe he could do what he said he would. And not to mention Stella, which goes a d episode for her to stand alone and do something she believes in doing. Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

"Nobody Else is Dying Today" is the show's best on-the-seate episode in a while. We finally see Casey doing something independently, and it stands out. I think not only did you give Spencer a no excellent performance, but also his knife. The way he handles that knife in this episode makes me laugh at times when he pops it out and uses it. Overall, I give this episode 9/10.


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