It's another One Chicago Crossover with Fire and PD coming together to help find a missing person from an old friend. Here's a recap!
After multiple calls of students overdosing on a new drug, Roman returns to Chicago to search for her missing little sister, one of those students dealing with the nedrugug. Roman and Severide team up to search for leads. But just when they learn of the suspect, Severide checks with the Intelligence Unit, who's been doing their investigation but knows that Roman is in the city.
After 51 gets a call of a basement fire, where Roman happens to be to get information, Roman meets with Voight, Burgess, and Ruzek and teams up to search for the suspect. Roman and Burgess do some catching up while searching for his sister but locate her dead outside a shack. As Roman deals with his upset parents and plans the funeral, Burgess realizes that Roman has killed the suspect and planted false clues to Voight and the team.
Just as everyone heads to the funeral, the Intelligence Unit and Firehouse 51, among others, are there, and as Burgess listens, she understands what he said in his eulogy to Voight. Voight tells Roman that they couldn't find the killer and will keep in contact with him for any updates, knowing what happened.
Other things: Casey helps Brett drive her to meet her birth mother but comes up empty when someone tells her that no one lived there by that name. She did and came to visit Brett at 51, apologizing and saying that she was expecting a baby. Also, Burgess wants Ruzek to let out their anger and blame her for losing their child, which he doesn't.
"Off the Grid"/"Burden of Truth" was an excellent crossover episode for Fire and PD, better than the previous one last season, which felt a bit flat. This crossover had a lot of meat to the bone, with solid character development from Roman and Burgess's strong writing in the story. Also, I couldn't get enough of Brett and Casey, but I loved it when Brett met her birthmother at Firehouse 51, which had emotions. Overall, I give these episodes 9/10.
You can catch Chicago Fire and Chicago PD on Wednesdays at 9/8c and 10/9c on NBC.
