The
"Carry Me"
Casey tries his best to save his friend from a career-ending decision. Anna's situation takes a turn for the worse.Casey tries to do everything possible, thinking his friend's accident report was not his fault. After trying to get things into motion, he and Bowden talked to the heads of the fire committee. They granted that Casey was in the clear with a report that it was not his fault but not anyone else's fault, keeping the other firefighter legacy, who had died, intact. And also, he's joining House 51.
Meanwhile, Britt tries again to be Cruz and Otis' roommate. After a horrible interview, she wins them with free parking tickets. After a day, she has everything in proper order and fashion, but Cruz apologizes after he freaks out from her moving his things around. All is cool! Britt would be a fantastic roommate to have.
Severide and Anna's relationship worsens when Anna's cancer takes a wrong turn. After a call of a house fire, an elderly lady was trying to save her things. At first, Severide didn't think about why she was there but knew she shouldn't have been there. Anna tells him it's not about the house but the memories. Going back, he talks to the lady of the house and talks about the memories and such. She gives Severide something to think about and tells Anna when her health worsens, she soon passes away. Watching Severide's reaction was as painful as watching Dawson and Casey lose their child. After the funeral, Severide drives to the lady's house and helps her take out the board for the door to take with her because she couldn't live there.
Also, Cruz fights with someone at the bar as he tries to take the guy out because he is being too much of a jerk. The guy catches Cruz's fire logo on his arm and runs off, which is not a good thing.
"Carry Me" was a very emotional and memorable episode so far. It's painful to watch Severide go through that. It's admirable to see Casey and his friend on good terms after helping him. The writing was excellent, and Taylor Kenny's performance was terrific. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.
Sixty Days"
Things change.
Casey's friend Kannell joins Squad 3, and Severide tries to make him feel at home by ensuring he does his job. Severide helps him build a dryer for their firesuits. It was pretty nice.
Meanwhile, Cruz could face being fired or suspended and ask Mouch to help. But Mouch is behind what's going on at the top office. There were changes like new laws. Mouch tries his best to help Cruz, but in the end, Cruz gets a 60-day suspension, and Cruz isn't happy with that result, blaming Mouch for being a slacker.
Dawson gets a visit from her father, who wants to spend time with her. After she turns him down because she is at work, she goes to his place to visit and finds him in a heat with someone with whom he owns money. It gets worse when Dawson and Casey are about to have a nice date night til they get a call from Herrmann about her dad being upset and drunk that he lost his house.
"Sixty Days" seems to be the go-ahead of maybe change coming with our favorite characters. I'm not up to date on what's going on at the Fire Office. I'm also considering retiring and selling smoke alarms. I enjoyed this episode. It was good and something I would want to look back and watch again. The writing was good, and so was the acting performance. Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.
You can catch the season finale of Chicago Fire tonight at 10/9c on NBC.
