In this two night crossover event, one firefighter fights for his life as another one hunts for the man who did it. A doctor's decision of treatment is being questioned but soon a pattern occurs when three cancer patients comes in with a bazaar news and we get dive into one cop's personal life as the case gets very personal.
As we left off, Freddie stabs Herrmann and leaves him to bleed out. Dawson and Otis finds him and Dawson goes with Herrmann to Med for support and also getting him stable. Cruz takes it very personal and tries to do everything he can to find Freddie.
And it doesn't help with big brother Severide chopping at the bite on him either and you can tell that he's making Cruz feeling like the worst person in the world. As soon as Herrmann gets into Med, Rhodes the first doctor to treat him and decides to give him blood transfuses and chest tube to help him breath and give him enough blood that can stop the bleeding on it's own.
As Herrmann is stable, the 51 gang gets back to work and gets a call of a fire that's started with a gas leak. But when Casey and Dawson checked the basement to shut the gas off and spots a lady covering her face with a plastic bag.As they bring the victims to Med, the gang goes back to check on Herrmann. Meanwhile Choi takes a look at the lady that was trying to commit suicide. He's puzzled and gets help from Halstead and Charlies for help.
Meanwhile, being treated for smoke inhalation, Cruz leaves and tries to find Freddie on his own. He stops in a bad part of the neighborhood where he forces his way up but gets stopped by a member with a gun. Just in time, Severide gets there and Cruz leaves with the rest of the Squad. In a Severide way, telling him that he doesn't want to have another person in the hospital, I take that as an apologize.
As everyone waiting news from Rhodes, Rhodes told everyone that it's going to take time and that surgery is in store if something goes wrong. Herrmann asked for Cruz to come in alone and in one of the best scenes of the episode, Cruz gives his fullest apologize of what had happen with Freddie and that he wanted to kill him.
Herrmann tells him that he doesn't blame him for anything that he did, but appreciates for what hes done to help Freddie. And Herrmann won't forgive Freddie and soon crashes and Rhodes takes him to the OR and opens up to Med.
Rhodes tries to get things going to save Herrmann. He calls for Zanetti for help and as she comes in, she gives him crap about the decision he made of course of treatment for Herrmann and that he could have save a lot of blood.
The case of the suicide patient gets looked at and Reese has an idea for a test to give her, and it as the test results came, it showed that this patient doesn't have cancer.
Later on, Will's brother Jay asked him about his opinion about Herrmann's treatment. Will says that he didn't see what was going on but he probably would have done it differently. Severide make sure Rhodes knows that and the two gives the dirty look that they're about to rumble.Soon Rhodes gets called to a trauma along with Halstead and they treat a lady who suffered a seizure and got hit by a car. She died right there and soon gets called from Charlies and Goodwin about the case and asked to autopsy the body to help prove his theory.
Manning gets a elderly patient who seems to be not there when communicating with her. She's a cancer patient, with a high fever and going into kidney failure. After making some progress, Manning gets called from Halstead and talks to Charlies about the case and advise to do a test and it proves that Manning's patient didn't have cancer.
Charlies and Goodwin talks to Manning and get the CPD to come. CPD opens up with Voight and the crew going through what they know about the three patients. As they were going to look through records, Manning comes in and gives them a patient's purse so they could look through and save some time.
Soon, the name Dean Reybold is called and Voight makes a sudden stop and so does Erin and Al. Reybold was the doctor who treated Voight's late wife. Now it's gotten personal for Voight and Erin and Jay went to interview Reybold, until Erin's emotion gets the best of her.
The assistant state's attorney Shelby comes in taking the case, but it doesn't get any easy for to get this guy in jail, like Voight and everyone wanted. After two failed tries, Voight comes to Shelby for help and she tells him that she needs the names of Reybold's patients back in the trail. Voight will do that with only one request that he gets on the stand and he did.
Voight takes the stand, gets questioned by Shelby with no results, but when Reybold's attorney questioned Voight, the final question got the door open for the other patients that the doctor treated thanks to Voight admitting that he say Reybold poison his wife with chemo.With Voight's word, Reybold was found guilty of all charges and sent to jail. As Reybold was taken away, Erin holds Voight's hand as both felt with an emotional toll has been lifted. And at the end of the episode was a video recording of Voight, Justin and Voight's wife back when they looked so so happy.
This was one of it's best crossovers, the emotions were set high and it ended high too. I can't get enough from performances from Jason Beghe, Randy Flagler, Monica Raymund, Oliver Pratt and Colin Donnell.
With each crossover, it just gets better and better. I just can't wait to see the four show crossover with SVU.
Overall, I give this crossover event 9/10.
