Chicago Fire
Chicago Fire Review: The Right Thing (10×04)
Tonight, Casey went on a life-changing road trip, Ritter battles some person demons, and Sylvie is put to the test by the new paramedic chief.
Casey, wanting to do his next duty as a superhero, left town to go visit Griffin and Ben, the kids of Andy Darden in Oregon. He wanted to see how they were doing, and wants to provide any help for them, as their home situations have changed for years.
Upon arrival at their house, he took immediate notice of how messy the house was. Casey even gave Ben $30 after he asked his brother for money, showing further insight on how bad their house is at the moment.
Casey met with the boys’ social worker and guidance counselor, who revealed that their aunt left them, and that the boys would be placed in separate foster homes. Casey then went on to offer to take in the brothers until they have to go off to college. This idea was rejected, as the boys are close to finishing high school, and with their friends, teachers, and extracurricular activities, moving them again might not be good for them.
Casey really wanted to connect with Ben, and try to help him straighten his life around, since Griffin thinks that his brother is doing drugs, and hanging out with the wrong crowd.
Before leaving, Casey found his old badge, and photos of a young Ben with Andy in his room.
Upon arrival back to Chicago, Casey said that he wanted to move to Oregon to take care of those boys. Herrmann said that even if that meant he leaves, Andy would want him to take care of his kids.
With Casey out of town, and Stella in Boston for a Girls on Fire event, a new lieutenant, Wallback, came in to fill in the leadership position. He was instantly impressed with Mouch and Gallo, after they successfully helped a man trapped underneath a car wash operator. The two were convinced that Wallback might think that 51 is the best firehouse in Chicago. However, the new lieutenant made a similar comment about another firehouse. This lead to a comedic monologue from Mouch about how 51 is the best firehouse in Chicago.
The newest paramedic chief, Hawkins, began reconsidering Sylvie’s Paramedicine pitch, and decided to shadow Sylvie around the firehouse, so he can consider who the person is that will be in charge of this program. He also was pushed by Mouch to reconsider the proposal, which Sylvie has no idea about.
Hawkins accompanied Sylvie and Violet on a call of a man who overdosed on the street. When they successfully saved the man, he pulled a knife on Sylvie. Sylvie was quick on her feet, and calmed the man down enough to take the knife away from him.
This rescue helped Hawkins greenlight six months of funding for Sylvie’s program, and hoped that the good work continued for them.
In an effort to reconnect with his boyfriend, Ritter planned a full evening out at Molly’s. While there, a drunken patron said some very homophobic things, and was kicked out by Herrmann. The man proceeded to throw a bottle at Ritter and Eric outside the bar, but crashed his car, which burst into flames. Ritter ran into the car, and with the help of the team, saved the man, but didn’t even thank Ritter after the fact.
Eric came to the firehouse, and said that even though he was proud of Ritter’s actions at the bar, he still thinks they needed to break up, because a lot of the passion and energy that they had at the beginning of the relationship was gone.
I can’t say I’m surprised, but we might see Jesse Spencer leave the show after 10 years. It’s quite possible the character decides to bow out to fill his duties of being a guardian for these kids in honor of his friend. The character has always had to have some sort of complex to want to save everyone and everything, but this possible exit makes sense for the character.
At the same time, I won’t be surprised if he doesn’t do this and ends up staying in Chicago. Considering the long-awaited relationship with Sylvie is still in the honeymoon phase, he may want to stick around and see where that puts them. I highly doubt Sylvie would drop everything and move to Oregon with Casey, so it will be a good way to put this relationship to its first big test: whether to drop what they just started, or leave everything behind.
Chicago Fire is celebrating its 200th episode next week, and with the possible departure of a longtime fan-favorite character, I’m sure it will be an intense one, as we see what the fate of Matthew Casey is.

Shocking news Firehouse 51—Taylor Kinney is exiting Chicago Fire.
Deadline reported the news on Friday, Jan. 20, revealing that the actor, who anchors the show as Kelly Severide, will be taking a break from the series.
Kinney has been a staple on the Dick Wolf drama since its inception in 2012 and is a huge reason why the series has retained such a dedicated viewership.
While an official reason was not provided, and a rep for the show did not offer a comment, sources close to production told the outlet that Kinney is taking a “leave of absence” to deal with a personal matter. No word on what the situation is.
The cast and crew were reportedly informed of the leave right before the news broke, with the writer’s room likely having to rewrite scripts to accommodate the change.
It’s unclear whether this will be a permanent leave, nor is there any info about how he will be written out for now.
Kinney has not addressed the news himself as of writing.
This is the latest shocking exit in the #OneChicago world as Jesse Lee Soffer, who plays Jay Halstead on Chicago PD, exited earlier this season, while Brian Tee hung up his coat earlier this season on Chicago Med after portraying Ethan Choi since 2015.
Firehouse 51 is gearing up for Halloween.
New photos were released from Chicago Fire’s Oct.19 episode titled “Haunted House,” and it looks like the squad will get to indulge in a little bit of mischief and mayhem before being called to save lives.
Check out the synopsis for Season 11 Episode 5: “Firehouse 51 hosts a Halloween open house; Kidd and Severide help a young girl after she gets kicked out of her home.”

Wedding bells are ringing, and Casey makes his grand return for Chicago Fire’s epic season finale!
After Severide got jumped by a gang last week, it was time to plan a wedding! Herrmann gathered the entire firehouse together, and gave everyone (except Emma) jobs that will secure the quickest wedding setup in history. Stella even asked Boden to give her away at the altar. Despite the writing saying that Casey might not show up, Casey showed up! It was great to see Jesse Spencer back in the role we’ve gone so used to seeing him play for the last ten years.
With Sylvie back in the house, she threw Stella a surprise makeshift bachelorette party, which was freaking adorable. On the other hand, Casey and Severide had one of their old fashioned bro moments, since it is most likely going to be the last one we see of them.
Disaster struck as the venue they thought they had booked, had to go back on their word, as a previously cancelled wedding decided to be back on. Casey came to the rescue once again, as he bought out a tour boat for all the guests, and the captain of the ship will be able to marry Severide and Stella.
Severide started to meet with several officers who were looking to start a case against Thomas Campbell, who runs a narotic ring and organized the attack on Severide after the food truck case. While heading to talk to the investigators, Severide was attacked again, but shoved the henchman out a window in self-defense. Regardless, Severide still committed to testify to help the investigation.
The showdown between Emma and Violet came to a head as well. Sylvie returned to Chicago, and Violet filled her in on all of the blackmailing schemes that Emma has started up against her and Hawkins. Hawkins went to his higher ups and wanted to find a way for Violet to somehow escape this situation, even if he had to take the biggest hit for it.
A house fire brought some news to light about Emma. Violet, Stella, Gallo, and Emma were helping a pregnant woman next door neighbor who was hit with debris, when the fire started spreading to their location. Everyone else was calm, but Emma wanted to high-tail it out of the building without everyone. The fire stressed out Emma, and she bolted, abandoning the team inside. The team who had the guts to stay helped deliver the woman’s baby with flames all around them.
Hawkins, who arrived at the fire, saw the whole thing unfold, and discarded the blackmail, and fired Emma for abandoning her crew.
Casey gave Gallo his favorite axe, as he doesn’t use it a whole lot out in Oregon. This is quite literally the passing of the torch for the future of Firehouse 51, as Gallo is sure to grow as a firefighter in future seasons.
At the end, the wedding began, with John Legend’s “All of Me” playing, and I rolled my eyes since that was one of the most cliche things possible. They both had adorable wedding vows which I’m sure actors will use for future audition monologues.
Chief Boden danced during the party, and I think that’s the only important thing I’ll ever need to see on my screen the rest of the year. However, the door did close on Sylvie and Casey, as she decided to stay in Chicago, and he is going back to Oregon, where his life really is.
It wouldn’t be a finale without a cliffhanger! As Stella and Severide begin their honeymoon in a cabin, a mysterious truck silently arrives, assuming it might be someone hunting Severide.
This was a great finale! It tied up the loose ends of Emma’s situation (see, I told you there would be a loophole to get her out)! We also got Casey’s full conclusion, and even though it is the end of his time here, we at least get Sylvie back in Ambulance 61. Who knows, maybe they’ll continue to reference Casey in every episode like they did after he left. Season 11 is sure to be some great twists and stories, with Severide having to go against this narotics ring, and adjusting to married life. I think sparks are in the air for Violet and Gallo…again.
