Casey and his niece Violet.

"Madmen and Fools"

Casey still helps his sister out by taking down his brother-in-law, Jim. Jim is leaving Casey's sister Christie and his niece Violet with little to nothing, Casey doesn't like that. Jim's mistress is keeping a secret too, it turns out she is wanted for a crime. So Casey uses her as black mail. In the end Christie got a better settlement, which made Casey happy.

The firehouse gets a call, a little boy named Archie got his head stuck in a balcony railing and his mother Catherine is holding it up, with not much time, the railing is about to fall! After the squad gets Archie's head out Brett decides to take him to the hospital to get checked out, his mother fights against the idea. While at the hospital her reason why she didn't want him to go to the hospital is clear. She and Archie have been at the hospital before and Child Protective Services were called on her and Archie was taken away.

The same thing happens again and Archie is taken away. So Catherine goes to the firehouse seeking allies, she pleads with Brett and Severide to help her out by explaining her situation to the Child Protective Services. Catherine and her ex have a history of alcohol abuse, but her ex is gone now and Catherine is clean.

Severide is cold to her and tells Brett not to get involved. He tells her about how Shay got attached to a patient and later on he had shot himself. He doesn't want Brett to get too attached. But Brett tells him second chances are important. Then they agree to help Catherine.

Child Protective services doesn't move fast enough for Brett. So she decides to go into the CPS office and demands that he takes care of Catherine and Archie, she told him she is going to sit in the office until he works on their case first. So he takes Catherine and Archie's file and opens it to look at it.

Newhouse is a secret private investigator, part repo man. This week he takes his newest partner Mills on a ride-along to fetch the prize possession of a client going through a bad divorce, her dog.

Dawson starts her training with Herrmann. She hated him treating her like a baby and she felt like she was left on the outside looking in. Herrmann cares deeply for Dawson and he takes this role seriously. He wants whats best for her and that means being prepared. Dawson may think she already knows skills from the academy but Herrmann believes a bit differently.

Everybody told Severide they couldn't go on the Vegas trip so he deiced to ask Brett who told him "I would love to but that wouldn't be a good idea."

But the trip continued and by the end of the episode we saw Severide kissing a stranger who won him money.

"The Nuclear Option"

I sure hope Severide can forget about Shay's death and be able to start acting normal again. One positive thing for Severide is he is forming a friendship with Shay's replacement, Brett.

Brett decides to stay in Chicago instead of going home with Harrison.

Brett's house got robbed. But I loved the way Brett handled the robbery. It's sad of course but she dealt with it really well.

Herrmann finally yelled at Dawson for leaving the compartment doors open, she told him she has been doing it on purpose.

Dawson is now going to be shadowing Herrmann instead of Casey.

I loved when Dawson and Herrmann were talking later on Herrmann said "I'm going to make a firefighter out of you." and Dawson replied with "That's exactly what I want."

Casey threatened his brother in law who is cheating on Casey's sister. Hopefully he doesn't do something he will regret.

Also Cruz can now drive the truck again! But Cruz lets Otis have his moment of glory with his nephews.

Mouch offers for truck 81 to take over service squad's bathroom duties for the rest of the year if Capp will fix the Moll'y food truck that is parked on the side of the road and keeps getting parking tickets.

Severide tries to organize a rescue squad Vegas weekend.

Anyone else?

Tuesday's are my favorite days!

"Apologies are Dangerous"

There were a lot of firsts on last nights episode, it was Dawson's first day as a candidate, the first time Severide saved a life off the job, because of Shay's paramedic training, the first day Mills was a paramedic, Mouch's first day back after the crash, and the first time Brett choked during a rescue.

Severide was riding the subway when all of a sudden the train stopped and there were gun shots, everyone from the front ran to the back to get off, Severide went to the front. There he found a boy with a gun and a women was shot in the chest. The women tells him that there is another gunman who went to the back. Severide called for help on the radio and they send help. Shooting begins again so Severide and the women take off down the tracks and into a station. The shooters find Severide and put a gun to his head, the gunmen argue amongst themselves and then the police arrive. Later the police ask Severide if he needs a ride home, he said no and was about to leave then they tell him he can't leave until Homicide gets his statement.

Brett tells Boden and Mills that she never had a male partner before.

Everyone places bets on how Severide got his black eye, they don't think even he remembers. He doesn't tell anyone what really happens.

Then a guy named Harrison showed up looking for Brett. He told her that he blew it, he got cold feet about the wedding and wants her back, he tells her to please come home. Otis thought she was the runaway bride, not her husband. Harrison told Brett that he had put an offer on the house she always wanted back home.

Boden calls Severide into his office to tell him that he got a courtesy call from CPD about the action on the El Train. Boden then tells Severide that its not just about showing up, then he tells him if he doesn't get Shay's death beyond him that there is no place in the firehouse for him.

The Molly's food truck didn't pass inspection, because there are new regulations. Herrmann knows its because of him. But he doesn't know what he did wrong.

At Dawson's first fire Boden expects her to find more water before the truck runs dry, but the hydrant has been vandalized so she has to do something else, she then sees a building across the street with a hydrant in it, she brakes into the building and uses the hydrant. Severide saw in the building that was on fire chains on one of the doors, he thinks that its a sweat shop.

Herrmann goes to Chief Hale's house, he tells him he doesn't care if he sandbags his career but honest guys are trying to make a go of Molly's. Hale then walks Herrmann over to his garage, which is full of a energy water Herrmann was schilling two years ago. Which is why Hale hates Herrmann.

The lady from the train comes to see Severide and to thank him, she asks Severide if she can meet his paramedic friend. When Severide says she's dead the lady says "She's here, I can feel her."

"Just Drive the Truck"

Episode 3 starts with firehouse 51 getting a fire alert. On their way to the fire they notice another fire truck going to the same fire, the other fire truck is Welch's. Cruz wanted to be the first truck on the scene so the trucks race to the scene. Casey tells Cruz to just forget about it and drive. Cruz was about to forget it and just drive until another firefighter said that if the other truck beats them to the scene they will have to take orders from Welch. So Cruz races on, which leads to the two fire trucks colliding. Cruz didn't know what had happened, he says they came out of nowhere. Welch's team said Cruz blew the light. Mills is helping get the driver of Welch's truck out when all of a sudden he falls over. 

Cruz was taken to the side to take a breathalyzer while in the middle of helping to get people out of the other truck. 

Mouch can't see, he has a lot of debris in his eye, luckily the injury didn't penetrate, he'll be okay. 

There's a guy injured in Welch's truck named Molina who is Welch's best friend, that guy is raced to the hospital, he is unconscious and unresponsive. 

Serveride is worried about Mills, who admits he has been getting dizzy since the building collapse and blames the pain meds he's been taking. Severide tells Mills he should get checked before next shift. 

Boden tells Casey that Dawson could be a candidate on truck 81 in Firehouse 51, the catch is Casey and Dawson cannot get married... When Casey tells Dawson she is excited but she doesn't know the catch. Dawson and Casey later talk about what working together means to their future. Dawson tells Boden later that Casey and her are serious about the opportunity. 

Mouch gets annoyed when Cruz didn't look at all the particulars when he suggested they open a food truck for Molly's. 

Mills had a major bruise on the side of his body, he learns he has PVVB and equilibrium problem, and he can't be cleared to go back to truck. Mills goes to see his grandfather, who says Mills looks like his mother. 

Cruz refuses legal counsel because he says the light was either green or yellow, NOT red, but if Melina doesn't wake up Cruz will be charged with man slauter. Cruz' duties are suspended until the case is cleared, Otis is driving truck until Cruz is back. 

While at the hospital with all the guys from both trucks Hermann offers to host something at Molly's for Molina and his family. While at Molly's later Dawson decides to tell everyone her and Casey are splitting up, because she's going to be on the truck, everyone cheers for her. 

Then Hermann announces that he got a call and Molina is awake and talking! 

Newhouse decides he wants a cut on the Molly's truck in return for giving them a truck to use. 

At the hospital Molina comes clean! He tells the Chief that Welch gave him the nod to get to the scene come hell or high water, which means no matter what! So in the end Cruz is off the hook. 

Once Casey tells the Chief they want Dawson on truck 81, Mills realizes there is an opening for a paramedic and he wants to fill the spot.

"Wow me"

Casey finally proposed to Dawson!

The first thing she wanted to do when she woke up the next morning was to tell Shay. Casey told Dawson that Shay helped buy the ring for Dawson before she passed away.

Welch, at the other firehouse Dawson was supposed to move to, refused to work with a women.

Dawson and Brett are becoming friends, but whats up with the big wad of cash in the middle of her living room within view of the window? Hope it's nothing bad.

Severide is drowning in his sorrows. He was drunk and said something about Brett looking like Shay and then Herrman told him it was time to go home(he was at Molly's).

Lindsay told Severide she can't be the girl that waits for him alone in a restaurant, she can only be his friend.

Donna has a high-risk pregnancy, Boden feels his dream of fatherhood might never happen.

Newhouse brought his daughter Naomi into the firehouse, Naomi helped Cruz with the presentation for expanding Molly's. After the presentation the look on Herrmann's face looked like he was angry but he loved Cruz's idea.
