Fight of the Week: Chicago Fire " All Hard Parts"



In this week's episode, Casey gets pulled into election season, Chilli tries to deal with her issues in a different manner and Severide tries to get her to see the light. Plus a boxing match for the television ages or should I just say boxing match of the week?

After speaking for the people who lost their homes in the tornado, a school teacher comes to talk to Casey to run for Representative for that neighborhood. Of course at first, Casey doesn't seem to be interested but as time goes, donuts being offered, seeing what the playground is like for the kids.

After thinking about it and a little help from First Lady Gabby, he decides to run and run he will do. I don't think getting a lot of signatures will get.

Meanwhile, after what was one last shot to stay on 51, Chili gets a package of her sister's things and that just turns the tables once again. She's doesn't open up about it and thinks that she's fine. Dealing with the pain by drinking both on the job and off and the one person that sees the issue is Severide, who tries to be open about it.

Chili's defense is as strong and worrisome as it can get. As Severide tries one last time to get her to speak to Bowden about it or he will and I think we all know who Bowden will believe. Chili comes clean to Bowden about what has been going on and it turns out that not only that she told but it was too late to tell him about it.

Bowden fires Chili for drinking on the job but does give her the courage that she'll always be a part of the family. As she gathers her things, she doesn't want anything to do with the rest of 51 or even Herrmann to call them her family. As she left, Herrmann finds a photo of everyone and gets it framed and drops it off at her place. She realizes that she needs to change and calls Severide for help.

Chili gets dropped off by Severide and he tells her that the toughest part was calling. Chili hopes to prove him and everyone that she can fix this problem. And I think she will and if my gut tells me anything and it's been wrong before, that if she gets help she can prove to Bowden that she can come back.

And of course, the match of the week or Battle of the Badges, who will win Fire or PD? Jimmy vs Antonio, of course the fight has been one of the best and funnest storyline of the season so far even last week's episode too. I thought that Jimmy could pull the upset of winning over Antonio but after getting the first hit, Antonio goes crazy mad and KO's Jimmy just like that. But at least it goes to a good causes and that Herrmann fixed the game just a bit in the betting pool.

"All Hard Parts" was a really good episode. The Chili storyline was really good and had my emotions go up and down through this episode mostly down as I want her to stay with 51. And watching Severide becoming the savior for her, just reminds me of what he went through last year with Shay.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.
