Tough Decision: Chicago Fire "Through the Skin"

 


If Violet has to perform an emergency c-section in the field, could her medical license be at risk? Let’s take a moment to recap!

I don't know about you, but this week's episode of Chicago Fire really took us on an emotional rollercoaster! Seeing Violet perform an emergency c-section on a patient who unfortunately didn’t make it while navigating the twists of Chicago politics—and with Chief Robinson stepping in to help her get her medical license back—was mind-blowing! Throughout the episode, we can feel all her emotions, from responding to Carver's girlfriend about the saddest moments they've witnessed on calls to her search for someone to stand by her side. 

Granted, did anyone else think that Boden would be the one coming in to help Violet? Everything from my mind to my bones felt that Boden would show up, but what an excellent way for Pascal to rise to help his paramedic in a crisis to help her that really got the crytime going after learning Violet will be reinstated.

Meanwhile, Stella is looking for Damon's replacement and Kylie to step in, but that's not what she wants because of what others call her "Mini-Kidd." After seeing Pascal ordering Kidd to pick someone by the next shift, Herrmann comes in and makes a home run hit idea that sends Ritter back to Truck and Kylie coming in to be on Engine. What a brilliant idea! We will get two female firefighters in 51 again!

Severide finds where Damon is assigned and talks to his chief about why Damon wasn't fit at 51, and sure enough, Damon gets offered full-time time at his firehouse. But that isn't all; Severide gives Damon a trip to see Benny's memorial and tells him that he needs to make a name for him and not prove that he's Benny's son. 

"Though the episode 'Though the Skin' focused on Violet, it was truly excellent! Violet's journey was so powerful and filled with raw emotions. I had a feeling that Boden would show up, and I thought it would be nice to see Brett make an appearance, too, but I was mistaken! Witnessing Severide and Damon find common ground and taking his advice about being a firefighter was heartwarming. I could sense that Carver was taken aback when his girlfriend told him she was staying and working at the bar. He's encountering more than he bargained for, and I believe Violet's words will stick with him for a while!" 

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.
