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.

When Will ‘Chicago Fire’ Return? Here’s When Season 12 Kicks Off Filming

Fans have been patiently waiting for the 12th season of Chicago Fire, which was announced back in April by NBC.
The network renewed all three of the One Chicago shows at the time, including Chicago PD for season 11 and Chicago Med for season 9.
Typically, new seasons of the dramas would’ve started in September as part of the network’s fall lineup, however, production on the shows was significantly delayed due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. The writers’ strike ended a bit before the actors’ strike, which meant that the writing staff was able to get back to work penning the scripts in October, however, things remained at a standstill until the SAG-AFTRA union negotiated a promising contract with the studios and allowed actors to get back to making shows and movies.
Thankfully, with the strikes officially over, the shows are back in business.
According to a Chicago Fire Extras post on Facebook, the drama set at Firehouse 51 will be kicking off filming on Monday, Nov. 27!
And that means that we’re on track to get new episodes of the 12th season in 2024 as a premiere date has been announced as Wednesday, January 17.
With Chicago Fire back in business, it’s safe to say the sister shows are following suit—and we’ll have new episodes to watch sooner rather than later.
CBS already unveiled its lineup for regularly scheduled programming, beating out all the other networks to the announcement, but if theirs is anything to go by, new content will be landing as soon as February. Some of your favorite sitcoms and dramas on CBS, including the NCIS franchise, Ghosts, and the FBI shows, will all be kicking off after the Super Bowl.

And the good news is that Taylor Kinney’s Kelly Severide is making a comeback after a ten-month hiatus. Back in January, the actor announced a personal leave of absence from the series, but fans are surely eager to see him back on the firefighter drama once again!
