Well....... 

First, let me get this out of the way so I can talk about the ending to this "fall finale" episode. 

"That Kind of Heat" was a very good episode that had intense and a lot of emotional and memorable moments. Ritter stepping up along with Gallo to help Boden and then stops when Herrmann and company went to fill up the truck with gas to help save a woman that had fallen on the L-tracks.

Kidd gets her Girls on Fire starting off great but is missing one person and tries to convince her to come back but understands that she needs to work to help her parents during the COVID-19. That didn't stop Kidd as she saw an opportunity to help both the teen and Boden by given her a part-time job at the firehouse. She accepted and looks forward. 

With the Amblunce 61 totaled, Severide tries to hunt down before it's gone for good. He saved the driverside door that has Leslie Shay's memorial on it. It also gave some clarity to Gallo and Mackey, who's questioned being at 51 after the accident) about being at 51. And learned the connection between Mackey and Cruz as he's like her guardian or big brother to her father that had died years ago. 

Okay now that I got that out of the way. Let's get to the main story of this episode, Brett and Casey. Well, from the recent recap about Mackey, both Brett and Mackey came out fine. Casey does some superhero stuff to get to 61. Soon after Brett questions how Casey got there so fast and soon learned about how it happened later that night at Molly's.

The next day Brett couldn't make eye contact with Casey and tries to avoid him all shift. That is until later that night when Casey comes to Brett's apartment and asked why she was avoiding him and she replied with a kiss and soon the rockets blast off as they kiss and landed on Brett's couch. 

But Brett asked Casey a question on whether if Gabby came back would he go with her and boy he used the wrong words in this one. Even telling Brett that he doesn't know because it's complicated. You got that right! And soon Brett asked him to leave and ended on a sad ending. 

While that ended pretty sad from Brett's point of view, but let's look at the bright side they finally have admitted their deep feelings for one another. This show does not go one, two, or three episodes to see if a relationship would go anywhere (like other shows), but we will see how they'll be facing this relationship and whether or no Casey could let Gabby "My Miracle" Dawson. 

So did I like the episode? Oh yeah, I loved this episode. This episode really played with my emotions and glad that I had the night off from work to watch this at home. During those Brett and Casey scenes my heart was beating fast, hands got cold and sweaty. 

While Ritter and Kidd had a really strong story in this episode; I think the little story that deserves is Severide getting Shay's memorial door back to the new ambulance 61. That would have bothered me so much. 

Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

Last night's One Chicago Crossover event was intense and thrilling that it felt like the Super Bowl of all Crossover events. Here's a recap!

The three-hour crossover event started off like any other day as the gang from Fire, Med and PD having a tailgating party outside of Solider stadium. But soon they notice a mysterious man drawing a big crowd and collapse; when they checked on him they notice his leg has been dissecting. What turns into a baffling mystery turns into a horror as not only the guy from the game but four more people (that includes a mother and her child) showing the same symptoms of the flesh-eating bacteria.

Soon as Fire, Med and PD are working an arson takes place at the University of Chicago bio-lab. Voight and the team take a foot on the case and soon Hailey finds the next victim but also had in contact with the victim with her blood on her. As Hailey is in quarantine along with everyone from that building as it's placement zero; Will and a former colleague work together along with the scientist from the university laboratory to find a cure for this made disease. If that wasn't enough; Goodwin is getting killed from the press as they're just trying to put fear into the news; while those that are quarantine escape because they don't want to be there. 

But PD gets their first lead a man posing as an exterminator spraying bug spray around that apartment and Ruzek and Burgess finds their suspect, who just so happens to be working with Will at Med. Will spots the scientist destroying what work they had for a cure and attacks Will and leaves. As PD goes on the hunt, Chicago has been taking their own hands with their fears from the internet that includes attacking a local favorite restaurant.  

As the suspect plays with PD, Voight turns the tables and searches history on the guy going six months; which leads to a place at the docks. There Ruzek spots a map of the next location, Octoberfest parade route but nothing happened. It wasn't until Burgess and Ruzek find a pattern of BRT Health Corp. decided to cut the suspect's fundings and planned to be at the board meeting that's scheduled for that day. 

As Fire and PD get there, Halstead comes with the cure; Jay locates the suspect with hostages, some being infected with the disease. As Jay talks him with him; Hailey tries to get a shot from across the building but nothing. Jay takes a risk by cutting his arm to place the bacteria, but Voight had other plans. Hailey takes a distraction shot and Voight comes in shooting the suspect dead. As all as calm down, life finds a way back to being normal in the city of Chicago. 

To note: During the episode, Cruz gets awkward with Chloe and when Brett and Mouch demand answers from him; he tells them that he's gonna pop the question. But it seems that Chloe had other plans as she calls their relationship off. Also, as the episode ends we see Ruzek asking Burgess if she would like to go with him; she does. 

"Infection" was by far the best crossover event since the Fire and PD began seven years ago. I thought that they couldn't have topped the last couple but they sure have. While watching the first 30 minutes of the first episode, it felt so much like an hour and a half with so much to take in. There were moments of fear; like when Burgess looked at the mother in the van that turned out to be alive still with the infection. 

The performance from the cast was great, they really did a fabulous job. There might be a couple of technical issues; like hearing Jesse Spencer's real voice when throwing the football, but it wasn't a whole let down. With the intense and thrills, there were emotional moments too; from Hailey bonding with Amanda to even Trudy telling CPD officers what's at stake. I thought I knew what television high was but after this crossover event, I know now what it feels like. Strong writing and story plot. Overall, I give this episode event a 10/10.

 The season premiere of Chicago Fire left Firehouse 51 in mourning of a loss of their own. SPOILER ALERT! Here's a recap! 

The season premiere episode picks up seconds after the season finale; where Casey and company were in the basement; Herrmann, and Ritter trying to cool the furnace pipes before they blow up and Boden, Brett, and Foster trying to take victims out until the furnace explodes. Boden, Brett, and Foster were taken down with Brett suffering from a severely broken arm; Casey and Company seem to be okay until someone's alarm goes off and it turns out to be Otis.   

As everyone brings out Otis, Cruz goes with him and sees the severe burns that he's had suffered. Back at Med, everyone was awaiting word about Otis until Boden confronts a nurse that gave the worst news of all, Otis died. But we see one of the most emotional moments so far, as Cruz tells Otis that it's okay to go that he hopes he would save a spot for him too until Otis opens his eyes and speaks in Russian and quickly dies. 

We jump three months later, the firehouse is still in mourning of the loss of Otis. Cruz is trying to find meaning and even trying to figure out what Otis said to him. Casey is under review for the decision making that got him worried; but Boden took the blame from him as it was his decision to bring Brett and Foster in the warehouse, but it still not going to take the pain of losing a firefighter away.

Brett is now in Floweton; she's just got her cast off on her arm and gets the job as a full-time EMT at the local fire station. But there's an issue, being in a small town she knows someone from her past that is married to one of the firefighters. The Chaplain offers her a solution of not working but work as the Chaplain's wife, who does work. I'm not seeing this last too long as she's gonna miss Chicago. 

With Brett gone, Foster gets a floater who's like Mr. Rogers meets Clark Kent. Mouch sees the guy's photo in a magazine. 

Near the end of the episode, Boden gets everyone from the firehouse outside where he has an honorary memorial for Otis. He even translated what Otis said to Cruz just before he died. Soon as Cruz kneels in front of the statue, everyone from Casey and Severide then on to do the same while holding each other's backs.  

"Sacred Ground" was definitely an episode that marks another shift change in the series. Not since Season three premiere been this powerful and knowing that the outcome will be even painful. The writing was so damn good and even the character developments between Cruz and even Casey were just so good. I still got my hopes that Brett will call off the engagement and move back to Chicago; maybe ask Casey out on a date, but I know that's way too much to ask for.  Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

This episode of Chicago Med was one hour that was not to forget. Here's a recap!

On her way transporting a child in a helicopter, Dr. Manning experience crash landing and in need of help. Halstead rushes out there to help and after bring that child and saving him; Natalie wants Will to come back home with her only to get rid of that gun. After agreeing, Will never really did it and kept his gun. 

Dr. Rhodes and Bekker aren't on good terms after Conner's conversation with his father.  Conner takes things out of Bekker during their case treating a pregnant woman with down syndrome. Split with different opinions on treating their patient that needs surgery to repair her heart because of her mother's power of attorney and wanting to risk aborting her baby. But the patient came out great along with her baby boy too as her mother comes to terms of accepting the baby too. As for Conner and Ava, that's another story but I would rethink Conner's decision on taking his father side. 

Dr. Choi and Cr. Charles deals with a patient who's suffering from liver failure and coming to terms about his alcohol problem. But what they don't know that their patient's drinking and all caused his son to try to take his own life but thanks to Charles who saved him by talking to him. 

Meanwhile, when Curry gets word that her patient is coding, it turns out that he was allergic to contrast for testing and died. She shows her shield towards April, Sthol and even the patient's wife, but really let down her shield when she showed her emotion in a private moment. 

"The Things We Do" was a fine episode that really "kept on your toes." Strong storylines and performances from the cast but Molly Bernard as Dr. Curry stole the episode with her storyline. Will is going on a path that seems to be not going too good; mainly his decision choices. I think Ava needs to get ahead and come clean to whatever had happened between her and Conner's dad. I still don't think she came on to him, besides she was supposed to go to a gala that night when she meets with Conner's dad. And I couldn't get enough of Sharon and Charles talking about online dating and even Sharon helping him too. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.
