The Chicago Fire season finale had everything from its usual humorist moments, emotional and intense moments, relationship growth, and maybe a relationship in crisis. Here's a recap!
Let's start with how Boden and Grissom are now head to head against each other for the CFD Commissioner position. Things get heated up after Boden gets early word that he'll get the job until someone spills the beans about how he received a donation, but Boden takes the gossip as a threat and talks to Grissom the way Boden does, yelling at him about it. It didn't help at all, and when Otis found evidence about how Grissom tampered with the numbers of firehouse calls, it was too late as Grissom was handed the position.
The relationship between Severide and Kidd is questioned when Rene tries to win him over with their teamwork and her son, who loves Severide and bonded very well. Kidd mentions it to her about it, but does that stop her in any way? As their case goes to trial, things go great as they win it, and Kelly and Rene have a harvesting moment. Kidd had to get a ride from Herrmann because Kelly forgot to pick her up; she had doubts about their relationship, but that all changed when she got into her apartment as Kelly was there waiting for her and told her that it was done and came to be with her as they lay and hug on her bed.
From one couple to a possible reunited couple with Brett and Cruz, Cruz's feelings have affected his business decisions as someone who happens to be an equipment salesperson for firefighters asks if Brettiss is single. With a no, he then kills the business deal with him, but Brett comes and saves the day after she turns him down for a date. That got Cruz to thinking that he needs to let her know how he feels about her, and Cruz tries to set up a trip for them to go on, but after a call for Brett and Dawson, he goes pretty south, and it affects Brett, all Cruz could do is be her friend and sit next to her.
Let's face it: we all hoped for a happy season ending for #Dawsey, right? Well, you might be thinking wrong, just as when they're on board to try having a baby, they get the word about how if Gabby is pregnant, it's a pregnancy that could kill her. For that, Gabby still wants to have her baby and decides for Casey, even though he thinks it best to adopt, but Gabby can't go through that again after Louie. Soon, the two had a heated moment after Casey chatted with the adoption agency, but Gabby didn't want it. Quickly after their argument, it put both Brett and Gabby's relationship in trouble after a call.
But as Casey and Gabby talked it out again at home, both made perfect arguments with each other, but in this case, I would have to side with Gabby. After Casey tells her that she's always made the decisions without anyone's input, Gabby walks out and later talks to the chief of emergency dispatch about his offer of going to Puerto Rico to help with the hurricane relief.
"One For the Ages"/The Grand Gesture" was a fantastic two-hour season finale worthy of the wild ride from humorist moments that only Chicago Fire brings to the states of whether or not Severide and Kidd would still be a couple after all that Rene has pulled on him. Even Brett and Cruz had an excellent slow restart in their relationship if Cruz does tell her about his feelings for her next season. I'd be scared of what will happen between Boden and Grissom after the big announcement. But the shocking part would be #Dawsey, with everything they want to have a baby but split on to have their baby or adoption. Gabby might head down to Puerto Rico to clear the air sometime between her and Matt. The writing was strong in both episodes, as well as the performances from the cast. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10 and the season a 9/10,
You can catch Chicago Fire in the fall on NBC but catch up on episodes on NBC.com, the NBC app, and demand.
