Last week's episode of Chicago Fire had a lot to take in, from two mysteries to an inspiration and even a shocking ending that no one saw coming. Here's a recap!
Let's talk about the episode's main event, which happens to be Severide teaming up with Wendy to investigate a motel fire that leads to a murder investigation. After thinking that the janitor might have done it, it turns out that someone from a medical equipment company had a history of drug use. Severide and Wendy teamed up with Ruzek and tried to take down the suspect extraordinarily.
Someone online had been looking for the firefighter from a photo 16 years ago that happened to have Casey. While Casey doesn't know what happened during that call, the rest of 51 helps him CSI style. Thanks to Cruz, Casey got to meet the guy, but it wasn't what he had expected, as the guy was looking for the other guy, not Casey. Oops!
Kidd and Wendy aren't doing so well recruiting young girls to sign up for the Girls on Fire program. While Kidd's method was going anywhere, Wendy did something that had gotten someone to come and sign up. But on its deadline, as soon as one girl shows up, the rest comes along, too.
Now, for the shocking moment, I would say I didn't see it coming. It looked like Brett would be a part of Julie's life when the baby came. Soon, Julie goes into labor, and Brett and Forster take her to Med while there seems to be some complication; the doctor reassures Brett that everything will be okay. That is until Casey comes to help me with her; they get the news that they weren't expecting: while the baby was born healthy, Julie had died. Brett meets her little sister, and while holding her, she dances around the room.
"I'll Cover You" was an episode that had everything going for it and more. While I'd love to watch another edition of Severide A.I: Arson Investigation and Casey and 51 looking into a call 16 years ago (when Casey had hair from House MD days), they were enjoyable and very filling. The Kidd-Wendy story was excellent, and while at a few times, these two teaming up worked so well.
The Brett-Julie story was the most heartbreaking moment in this episode, and I just felt horrible for Brett. Kara Killmer was so good in this episode; that last scene was powerful. I wonder what this will do to her in the future. But I expect some fantastic Brett-Casey moments of friendship and compassion.
Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.
You can catch Chicago Fire when they return on Wednesday, April 8, at 9/8c on NBC.
