Ingrid Mills: I’m okay. We all got out, but Peter… everything’s
gone.
Peter Mills: No. No, we’re gonna save it, okay?
Hey, everybody’s out, but we got to get in there.
Chief Boden: No.
(into radio) All occupants are out of the building.
The fire is in the roof trusses. We are gonna go
defensive with master streams. Nobody enters
the building. Let’s get those water canons working.
Matt Casey: Cruz and Otis, raise the aerial.
Peter Mills: [under breath] Come on, come on…
Lt. Spellman: (into radio) Send the water!
Chief Boden: Mills.
Matt Casey: Mills!
Chief Boden: (into radio) Mills, I want you out of that building
right now. Do you understand me?
Ingrid Mills: Why-why is Peter in there alone? Wallace, you get
my boy out of there! You get him out of there!
Peter! Peter!
Chief Boden: Ingrid! We’ll get him.
(into radio) Mayday, mayday. We have a man inside.
Squad 3, go get him!
Kelly Severide: Come on.
[radio chatter]
Matt Casey: Otis, Mouch, charge the line and back us up.
Herrmann, with me.
[explosion]
Ingrid Mills: What the hell were you thinking?
Peter Mills: Dad’s medals.
Ingrid Mills: I do not need any damn medals. I need you.
Peter Mills: Ma, come on.
Chief Boden: You freelance like that, you will get yourself and
anyone else who was willing to go in after you
killed! Do you understand me?
Peter Mills: Wasn’t a kitchen fire, Chief.
[water spraying]

Chief Boden: Ms. McLeod, what brings you here?
Gail McLeod: Chief Boden, I will be making weekly check-ins
with all the houses under my aegis, so I would like
to speak to everyone, if that’s all right. It’ll just take
a minute.
Chief Boden: Common room, ladies and gentlemen.
Gail McLeod: Thank you.
Kelly Severide: Mills. We’ll get the guy who set these fires.
Gail McLeod: This won’t take long. I just want to make sure that
we’re all on the same page, yeah?
Allowing visitors, especially children, to ride on any
of the apparatus is a serious violation of CFD
policy and a potential liability for the department.
Joe Cruz: How does she know that?
Gail McLeod: Now…
Christopher Herrmann: There’s a snitch in the house.
Gail McLeod: You can call me a killjoy if you’d like, but the
severity of this cannot be overstated.
Peter Mills: We’ve got bigger problems.
First your car. Now my restaurant.
Mouch: It doesn’t make sense.
Matt Casey: Mills wasn’t even on the job when Big John set
those first fires.
Kelly Severide: No, my-my pop’s right. It ain’t him.
It’s a firefighter.
Christopher Herrmann: What makes you so sure?
Kelly Severide: When I was looking at the dangerous building’s
map, it-it hit me that all the arsonist’s targets
were on there and in our district.
Otis Zvonecek: Except for the car and the diner.
Joe Cruz: So it’s a firefighter who’s got beef with all of us at 51?

Ben Darden: Why can’t we go home?
Griffin Darden: I don’t know. I think… I don’t know.
Ben Darden: Where’s mom? What will happen?
Griffin Darden: I told you, I don’t know.
[knocks on door]
Matt Casey: Hey, guys. It’s… it looks like you’re gonna be living
here for a while with me.
Griffin Darden: You promised we were going home soon.
Matt Casey: That’s right, and I thought you were, but things
changed and, um, it’s gonna be this way for a while.
Ben Darden: Why can’t we go home?
Matt Casey: Because your mom isn’t there.
Griffin Darden: The kids at school said she’s in jail.
Matt Casey: She is. And I should have told you that sooner.
Ben Darden: I want to live in jail with her [cries]
I want to see my mom.
Matt Casey: Buddy, listen. You can’t live there, but, um, you can
visit. You guys can handle this.
Listen… those, uh, firefighters and paramedics at
51? Well, they’re your family too and they’re gonna
help me take good care of you guys. Okay?
Ben Darden: [sniffles]
Matt Casey: Come here, buddy.

Jay Halstead: It’s pretty cool… being able to drink in a bar after
it’s closed.
Gabby Dawson: Grab a couple glasses, ‘cause I have a
champagne cognac in the back we are gonna
crack open.
Jay Halstead: Sounds great.
Gabby Dawson: Found it.
Jay Halstead: I can’t wait to try it.

[background chatter, music playing]
Kelly Severide: Hey!
Kevin Hadley: [laughs] Severide. How are you, buddy?
Kelly Severide: I’m okay. Can’t complain.
Kevin Hadley: Good. Can I get you a beer?
Kelly Severide: Oh, no. I’m good. I’m good right now. Thanks.
Kevin Hadley: So what brings you around my stomping grounds?
Kelly Severide: Well, I was looking for you, actually.
Kevin Hadley: Oh, yeah?
Kelly Severide: Yeah. I was just thinking about some of the fires
we fought together. String of arsons on the
westside, barbershop, couple garages, that old
Italian restaurant on Diversey. You remember?
Kevin Hadley: Vaguely, yeah. You sure you don’t want one? I’m
gonna order another round.
Kelly Severide: Nah. I’m good, but I’ll tell you what. I got your
next round.
Kevin Hadley: So you came all the way out here just to, uh,
reminisce?
Kelly Severide: There’s been a bunch of similar fires the last
couple weeks. That’s what brought back the
memories. Reminded me you’re a damn good
firefighter.
Kevin Hadley: Yeah. I appreciate that. I do [laughs]
But I got to tell you… steady work has been pretty
hard to come by since I got pushed out of 51.
Kelly Severide: Look at me. Is that why you’re setting the fires?
Kevin Hadley: You think I’m setting the fires?
Well… I guess you better prove it.
Kelly Severide: I’m going to.

So am I the only one hoping the Chicago Fire writers will finally get over their weird need to separate Severide and Brett? You don't want them involved romantically, fine, but can they not be friends? Or even talk to each other? I was hoping we'd see more interaction between them when she and Casey finally got together, like when he was with Dawson and they were all friends. But it didn't happen. Then Kidd was gone and Matt left, and I was like, Oh, this would be a perfect opportunity for them to bond over long distance relationships and missing their SO's, but no. Instead it's about the new guy and the desperate arson investigator chick.
Like, what are they so scared of that they only let Severide and Brett interact like a dozen times over the entirety of the show? Most of which were completely professional interactions while on the job. Seriously, they've been working together for like 7 or 8 years now and we've only scene like a dozen direct communication between the two of them. Why?
