Chicago Fire
Chicago Fire Review: What Happened at Whiskey Point? (10×08)
Herrmann and Mouch played detective, as the tension between Gallo and new firehouse lieutenant Pelham escalated to new highs in tonight’s newest episode. With Pelham taking Casey’s spot, and Boden taking a liking to him, his job security is almost solidified. But his mysterious past of constantly moving firehouses made Herrmann and Mouch suspicious. What happened in this guy’s past that made him always jump around? And will he bring that past to Firehouse 51?
Somehow, Mouch got a confidential file on Pelham, and made sure to hand it to Boden, who found out in the file that Pelham was given the longest suspension in Fire Department history. When Boden asked what it was, Pelham was cryptic and said that it’s something he never wants to discuss. Kind of strange that he wouldn’t give those details to a commanding officer. And Boden just let it go, saying the episode title “What happened at Whiskey Point?”
Mouch discovered a rumor that Pelham punched a commanding officer in the face on a call at a warehouse fire at Whiskey Point, and a few weeks later, that officer retired out of the blue. Boden visited the captain, Stafford and asked about the incident. Pelham accused Stafford of stealing jewelry at the case. Stafford admitted he did steal the jewelry, and Pelham said he would keep his mouth shut if he returned them, and retired, and that Pelham is on the floater cycle because he hit a superior. Pelham took the fall for Stafford because Stafford was having a horrible crisis with his family leaving him, and was going off the rails.
Gallo once again disobeyed a direct order on a call to a house where the fire alarm was malfunctioning and the residents not home. Gallo found a way through an open window, much to the anger of Pelham. The two got into a heavy yelling match about how Gallo is apparently insubordinate, and Gallo retaliating saying he will be on 51 longer than Pelham.
A house fire tested their professional relationship like no other, as Pelham and Gallo worked together to save a little girl trapped in the blaze. The two saved the girl, and got out of the house with ease, upsetting Gallo as his family died in a house fire when he was a kid. This experience brought the two together, and Gallo apologized and promised he will be behave better.
Side plot A of the week: Sylvie and Ritter begging Violet to tell Gallo how she feels about him. It’s clear that she likes him, and has been insanely jealous of his flirtation with their mini-brewery investor Kara. The romantic tension between them has always been there, since they’ve been on again, off again. This came to a head when the stress of work and her personal life caused Violet’s appendix to burst while being reprimanded by paramedic Chief Hawkins. On the way there, a delirious Violet was ranting about her personal life, and made Hawkins believe that she was flirting with him.
At the hospital with Violet, Gallo said that he has a tendency to be dark and distant to the people he loves, because when he feels like those people always leave him.
Side plot B of the week: Herrmann started moving his things into Casey’s old office. Severide doesn’t like the idea of Herrmann having this office, since it usually goes to the truck lieutenant, which is Pelham. Not only that, but Herrmann tried to give himself an office in season 8, and nearly burned the place to the ground in the process. It was a back and forth of Herrmann annoying Severide with loud music, hammering in the walls. Herrmann tried to buddy up to Severide, making him burst with rage to Herrmann. Severide made up with him by bringing some cigars to his house.
Side plot C of the week revolved around Cruz befriending a future single mom on a call after rescuing her, and his introspective look at how there are different kinds of people raising kids in different environments. While he was freaking out over expensive preschools, this woman, Stacy, had to cut back on her finances and move around jobs because she’s a struggling single parent. Stacy knitted Cruz’s baby a little fireman’s hat, and gave him advice that her mom gave her about always sitting the positives of parenting.
The end of the episode had Severide drop a bomb that Stella is not sure when Stella will come back, since Girls on Fire is doing so well in Boston, and he’s nervous that they will be distant whenever she gets back.
Could this possibly lead to Stella and Severide breaking up, or possibly either of them leaving the show? It seems that that may be a big deal when the show returns for its fall finale on December 8.
As I have said a couple of times already, the show seems to really be setting up for Gallo to take some form of leading man role. So much of the last several episodes have revolved around him in some capacity. With Casey gone, and now some possibility that Severide could be headed out soon, they’re gonna need a new young looking firefighter to be the face of the show.
Cruz’s time today was great. I think they have been using this character as a great moral ground for the show, since he has such a genuine heart for almost everyone he meets.
Pelham may become a more recurring role as time progresses too. Brett Dalton is doing a great job as this struggling lieutenant trying to fight his way back into the firefighting command.

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.
