![]() We still haven’t gotten to know him well enough yet. Unfortunately, I don’t feel invested in Ritter. Herrmann is one of my favorites on the show, and it’s moments like this that show why. He just shakes his head and tells Ritter to leave while he holds things off for everyone else as long as he can. Herrmann resigns himself to a fate of death in a way that’s really powerful. They’re dealing with the chaos and trying to save as many lives as they can, but there are people trapped and the basement is about to explode. Let’s be honest, this is the kind of thing that keeps us coming back to the show in the first place.

They scramble, and they’re already too late for some. The firefighters head to a mattress factory fire which is clearly going to end in tragedy. That is until what is, according to Herrmann, one of the worst possible kinds of fires breaks out. With closure on the arson case, closure for Stella and Kelly, and a new change for Brett and Kyle, everything feels fairly wrapped up. I have said before that I could get on board with a Brett and Casey romance if it happens slowly, and this definitely has the potential to make it all a slow burn. And then for her to say yes… I don’t think she’s so sure about that answer.Īll of this has moved to quickly and feels forced. I expected Kyle to ask Brett to move with him, but this was even bigger. It’s hard to read why - whether it’s because she’s assuming he’s not interested in her or because she’s realizing she’s still in love with Kyle.Įither way, the proposal that comes next feels a bit too abrupt. For some reason, Brett doesn’t correct him. It is frustrating that Casey just backs off that fast, assuming the two are back together and going on about how he thinks they’re good together.

Just as Casey is about to work up the nerve to ask Brett on a date - and he conveniently needs a date thanks to an upcoming event with Boden - her entire trajectory changes. Then there’s also this bit with Casey and Brett, which still has me undecided on how I feel. ![]() Related Preview - Chicago Fire Season 10 Episode 21: Last Chance (I can’t be the only one who worried about that fire for a moment, though.) They make love in the cabin, in a full-on soap opera setting with a fireplace in the background. Even though much of their problems felt contrived from the start, it’s certainly satisfying to see them getting back together now. He tells Stella that when she shows up to the cabin, worried.

He gets a chance to work with Stella in the process. And solving a case his father had been working on offers him some closure with his dad’s death, which is a nice touch. The good guy wins - Kelly proves once again he’s the hero we know him to be.

Ultimately, it’s a pretty satisfying end to that arc. Kelly really does have an eye for arson investigations and the like, and thanks to that eye and to his determination, the arsonist Benny had been looking for years ago is finally caught. Everything else has some resolve to it, for better or worse. The cliffhanger stands alone in a way that feels a little strange, though. On Chicago FireSeason 7 Episode 22, “I’m Not Leaving You,” we’re left with one of the most intense season finale cliffhangers of the series, where really, there’s no telling who may or may not make it out alive. If there’s anything Chicago Fire knows how to do well, it’s a cliffhanger.
