Tuesday night's best drama is back!!!
Chicago Fire premiered last week, opening the floodgates of some great theater.
The premiere picks off the following day. Severide and Kidd are awake, and nothing seems to happen, even though Kidd's ex was in the apartment while they were there. Kidd gets the message from Dr. Charles about him and soon tells Severide about it.
Dawson and Casey are handling parenthood well. They seem to get the ring to it. After a call of a bus and getting hit with a pipe from a fired-up garbage truck, Dawson couldn't get the thoughts of what would happen if something happened to her or Casey. And with that in mind, what will happen to Louie now that he's in their lives?
With that in mind, Boden and Jimmy quickly butted heads. They've been in his office more than three times to talk, and the last one drew fire on Boden as Jimmy wanted to go back on the truck. he declined to do that, but Jimmy handed him a complaint file.
Boden confronted Jimmy in the office, and after a warning, Jimmy gave him one hell of a standstill. Boden's boss dismissed his request about Jimmy returning, and Jimmy returned to Truck 81.
But with Jimmy gone and back on Truck 81, that leaves an opening for the paramedic. And the right person came back for the job, Dawson. Dawson and Britt are back together again, and this time, Dawson gets to drive the truck, as Shay wouldn't let her (and it made me wonder if Shay did that).
Dawson and Britt's first call was a gunshot victim, and while trying to treat him, the people were getting a bit rowdy. But Antonio came to the rescue, calmed the folks, and helped get the victim to the ambulance, where the victim was his CI. But there was a glace from Britt looking at Antonio and even him. Here's the romance starting up!! Will it still happen when he goes to Chicago Justice? I wonder.
Britt has found these fantasy firefighter stories, some fictional and the rest of it hot and steamy fictional fantasy. The names in the stories seem familiar, and everyone wonders who wrote them. But Britt figured out that Mouch wrote it, and the two agreed to write together some of the best hot fantasy firefighter stories ever. I hope they come out with it in bookstores.
As the day was ending, Kidd, working at Molly's, was taking stuff to the garbage can until her ex was there and calling her names. Holding a knife, he screams and all that, but Severide stops him, and the two fight. Trying to stab Severide, he gets knocked down, and Severide picks up what looks like a stick and knocks him down, but it must have had something sharp at the end because Kelly sliced his throat, and both Kidd and Severide looked at each other.
This season's premiere was excellent. Never held back, the writing was terrific, and the performances from some of the cast members were outstanding once again. Steven McQueen and Eamonn Walker were fantastic, with the two characters on the edge (mostly Jimmy).
Severide will be in trouble again, even though he defended himself and Kidd. I question whether Casey will still run for office. And, of course, Dawson and Britt are a good match; I can't wait to see where this will lead.
Overall, this episode is a 9.5/10.
You can catch Chicago Fire on Tuesday nights at 10/9c on NBC.
