Love or Not: Chicago Fire "Inside These Walls"


Chicago Fire returned this week with what looks to be life-changing events that will have you either shocked or not. Here's a recap!

The episode picks up right where we left off in the fall finale; Casey's apartment is on fire, and he gets Namoi out by escaping through the walls. Soon, they start telling the detective about what had happened. As much as they give him the information, the detective believes that it could be someone else who has a grudge against them. After getting word on the investigation, Casey and Namoi take care of things themselves, locate the man who left them the threatening voicemail, which they located and question him after he tried to run. But they got who was beyond all of this and nailed them. It brought closer to the case and ended the relationship between Casey and Namoi.

Meanwhile, Stella and Severide are on their separate ways, as Severide takes on refurbishing a classic boat. As for Stella, she's still having fun with her old high school friend, who tried to kiss her in her apartment. It not only freaked her out, but she realized that Severide was right about him. After some thinking and working at Molly's, she talks to Severide about how right he is and how what's been going on between them is more significant than her friend. He's been going down a dark hole since losing his father, for which I haven't seen all that much, and decides to end their relationship.

On a lighter note, the firehouse was asked to show the seniors a well-educated show about fire safety, and Boden asked Brett and Foster to do it. They try to come up with stuff from doing cheers (which I would love!) to having an American Ninja Warrior-type course, not to mention the food bar. But when they get things ready, they learn that it's not the seniors from a local high school but seniors from the senior center. Also, after there was a moment where Casey received stuff from everyone at 51, from clothes etc. Just watching Casey get that and thanking Herrmann and his wife for doing that was joyful.

"Inside These Walls" was an excellent episode from start to finish. I was surprised to see how Casey and Namoi's relationship ended. That should carry on a bit more. But some who didn't like the relationship would be grateful that it ended. I also didn't imagine Kidd ending her relationship with Severide. I would have thought she would just forgive and move on from that, but she sees more of what he's been doing. Hell, I haven't picked up on what she's been seeing. Is refurbishing a boat a way to not be with someone? Boy, I can't wait to see how they would be at work.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Chicago Fire on Wednesdays at 9/8c on NBC.
