"The Tendency of a Drowning Victim"
When 51 gets called to a cave in the lake, Casey wastes no time putting his men in the freezing water to search for a dead victim. But he gets a twist that it turns into a scam of a fiance being taken out of her money so he can afford more for his model aircraft collection. The case does put Casey and Severide at odds, but not for long.Lilly returns to 51 to ask Herrmann for help to find her a place for her new bakery. But when Herrmann tries to do what he did for Molly, it becomes a new ballgame. That doesn't mean he hasn't given up on her but instead helps invest in her business.
Brett and her birthmother bond, but trouble comes when she starts having Braxton hicks contractions. But she did ask the question about her and Casey after she had met him. As Casey awaits them at the ED desk, the doctor tells Casey about Gallo coming to visit that little girl who got burned.
Boden is on a rampage at 51, which doesn't have to do with the fire department. Donna has him on a diet and takes his anger at everyone on 51, so Kidd steps up to help with him until Ritter and Gallo devise a way to enjoy a diet.
"The Tendency of a Drowning Victim" was an excellent episode from start to finish. Casey has a perfect story in this episode with the twists and turns of the car accident. And the Casey-Severide bromance, while having some bumps, always ends with a nice ending, this time with steak with Kidd. Watching those three at the end reminded me of Casey, Severide, and Dawson seasons ago. Brett's mother is on board for the #Bresey train. And I couldn't get enough of Boden and Kidd in this episode. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.
"Protect a Child"
When 51 rescues a disabled mother and her child from a house fire, it turns into an issue with the DCFS that gets Casey all fired up. After receiving multiple complaints from the neighbor about how the mother was unfit to care for her child, the BCFS took the child away. After another rescue at a warehouse factory, Casey and Gallo talk to the caseworker about comparing that mother to a group of prominent men trying to help save their friend at the warehouse. Also, Casey tells the story about Lou, an experience that was brought to him. In the end, both the mother and child were reunited.Herrmann believes he should have quarters like Casey, Severide, and Boden, but Boden disagrees. Herrmann takes the spot right between Casey and Severide but soon causes a small fire that has him reporting to the fire academy by Chief Walker.
After seeing young girls hanging out with bad crowds, Kidd wants to help bring young women to the world of firefighters with a Girl on Fire program. After getting positive responses, Kidd needed to find a partner to help her; Severide advised her to have Wendy help. After asking her, she's all in.
Brett's mother, Julie, makes another visit and asks Brett for help finding a place to live in Chicago. After making a call that didn't need both Foster and her, Brett meets a realtor to help find a few places. After meeting, the guy asks Brett out, but after thinking about it,t she turns the guy down. Maybe she's waiting to see where Casey will go, like when Casey was waiting to see where Brett was going.
"Protect a Child" was such a good and heartwrenching episode. I say heart-wrenching because of the story of the mother and child splitting up by DCFS, and also, we relive a bit of history of Casey and Dawson having Louie for a short and painful time. It stays with you for sure—I greatly loved Herrmann's story in this, as it was just downright hilarious. Also, I love Kidd stepping up to make this program work. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.
You can catch Chicago Fire on Wednesdays at 9/8c on NBC.
