Talk it Out!: Chicago Fire "The Solution to Everything

Will Severide open up before he gets himself killed? Casey and Namoi get a clue about their arson investigation, and the hunt is on for a photo from Boden's past. Here's a recap of the Chicago Fire.

Boy, this was sure a Chicago Fire episode to remember in one way or another. Severide, who's still grieving the loss of his father, gets in danger during a call when a chimney collapses. Casey and Otis got him in time, and Kidd isn't too happy about not helping because of Casey's orders. Severide opens up to Foster about not moving away in that fire, and that's when she opens up to him about how losing a family member messes with your mind. After that, Severide starts talking to her about his feelings, making Kidd jealous but happy.

Casey and Namoi get a clue about their arson investigation, not to mention a threatening voicemail asking them to stop investigating. Their investigation leads to a place in Indiana. They see something familiar there, and someone is watching them as they break in.

But the hunt for a photo from Boden's past really stood out in this episode. The hunt was for a calendar photo of Boden as Mr. September 1990. After looking around from the library to the Chicago Fire Museum, I realized I needed help. Even Herrmann goes to the last person that might know, Donna. She tells him she doesn't know where it would be, but she has one in her closet.

"The Solution to Everything" was another classic episode of Chicago Fire that balances out the drama, humor, and intense storytelling, mainly the Casey and Namoi investigation that could lead to something in the fall finale in two weeks. The episode had some excellent character development and writing, too. There was another moment with Casey and Brett; I think they could be a couple. It could be my mind playing with me. And Kelly and Foster talking was a good sign that he would be fine and talk with Kidd. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch the fall finale of Chicago Fire on on Wednesday, December 5th,, at 9/8c on NBC.
