You coming
to Molly's tonight?

Nope. Going out
with Violet.

RITTER: / knew you'd met
your match with her.

I'm not really feeling a very
Supportive vibe right now.

STELLA: What's she up to?

Captain Leone...
You do not want
to be on her bad side.

Matt Casey, this is my
birth mom, Julie.

Julie, this is Matt.

He's terrific.
How long have you two
been dating?

Oh. Um... No.
It's not like that.
We're just friends.

JULIE: /f you say so.

Okay. Okay.

| saw you act like you were
gonna skip that candy bar.

Gordy!

You're not supposed
to notice my purchases.

There's a clerk-customer
confidentiality.

Your secret is safe
with me.

CHUCKLES

$3.49

Keep the change.

Hey.

What're y'all doing?

Yeah.
You say something?

How old are you?

No one's tryin’
to talk to you.

STELLA: Well, aren't you
Supposed to be in school

instead of out here
on acorner,
slinging God-knows-what?

Hey! I'm talking to you.

STELLA: You should've
seen them,
they couldn't've been

more than 14,
15 years old,

and they just scattered
right as soon as |
approached them.

Probably thought
you were a Cop.

Well, it's just so sad,
you know?

And what am |
doing about it?
Nothing.

| always say that | want to be
more involved
in the community,

and then another week
goes by and what have | done?

Okay,

despite whatever the weather
is up to today,

| still expect Firehouse 51
to be prepared... SIGHS

Yes, Lieutenant Herrmann?

All right. Well,
thank you, Chief,

for addressing me by rank
there because it cuts
to the heart

of why
| raised my hand.

| was wondering,
you know,

about officer's quarters?

ALL CHUCKLING

You see, it's been
over a year since
| made lieutenant, you know,

and Casey and Severide,
over there,

they got their own
officer's quarters down
in the bunk room and...

We only have two
officer's quarters at 51.

|! understand that
and | thought about that

and that's why | would
like to request

the blue room
down in the bullpen.

| could be closer
to you

and then
you can be my...

That was a little quick.

Blue office is for storage,

now and forever.

It is not gonna be your
officer's quarters
or a women's lounge

or whatever function you all
come up with by tomorrow.

Like a game room.

MEN CHUCKLING,
CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY

But, Chief...
ALARM BLARING

DISPATCHER: ON PA
Truck 81, Ambulance 67.

House fire,
55 South Randolph Street.

SIREN BLARING

Truck 81,

all right, looks like a couple
bedrooms burning
on the second floor.

Mouch, Kidd,
take the Charlie side.
Yep.

Gallo, with me.

Clear upstairs first,
work our way down.

Engine 105, drop two lines.

Okay, guys,
you heard him.
FIREMAN: Copy that.

| Knew something
like this would happen.

That woman in there,

she's unfit to be a mother.

Gallo, find the stairs!

Copy that.

BLAKE GALLO:
Fire department, call out!

Captain! Over here!

WOMAN GROANING IN PAIN

CASEY: We have to
get you out of here.

My son Noah is upstairs!
He's only six!

Where?
In the bedroom on the right!

Gallo, go!
Yeah.

BLAKE GALLO:
Fire department, call out!
WOMAN: No.

STELLA: We'll get to your son.
No.

Ma'am!

Come with us.
CASEY: Come on, Ma'am.

Noah! Noah!
| got you!

Fire department! Call out!

WOMAN: Noah!

Noah!

Noah!

Call out! Noah!

No sign of him!

Did you check the master?
Yeah.

NOAH: Mom!

Hey, kid. Come with me.

Na-uh.

Il take you to safety,
| promise.

No.
Your mom is
already down there.

Come on. Come on.
No.

Hey, hey.

When | was your age,

there was a fire
at my house, too,

and | hid in as safe a place
as | could find,

exactly what you're
doing. Okay?

But this place isn't gonna

keep you safe
much longer. Okay?

It's true.

SO, come on. Come with me

and we'll get you to safety.

We'll get you
to your mom. Yeah?

Come on. Come here.

Here.

Ready?

BLAKE GALLO:
Knock it down.

Where are they? They said
they'd get to him.

What's your name, ma'am?
Jenni.

Jenni, can you help us
put this oxygen mask
on you?

You took in
a lot of smoke, honey.

Thank God. Noah! Noah!

NOAH: Mom!

Nota scratch.

Thank you.

FOSTER: Let me just
take a look at him.
Okay.

Come here, buddy.

Here you go.

Brave, what you did, ma’am.

BREATHING HEAVILY

Great. Okay.

SIREN BLARING

No surprise this happened.

She can't
take care of him.

she's paralyzed.

She could've gotten
that little boy killed.

You saw.
Hey.

You're not helping anyone
with that,
so why don't you just...

SCOFFS

CASEY: All right, 81.

Let's help 105
re-bed their hoses.

ENGINE ROARING

Hey. How was it?

Rolling.

Good save with a kid
hiding under his sink.

Details.
So, we get to this house...

Captain...

INDISTINCT CHATTER

What's he doing?

Apparently, he’s making
his own officer's quarters.

That is precisely
what I'm doing.

If you guys want to get
something done around here,

you have to stop
asking for permission

to start building
your own future.

CLEARS THROAT

Voila!

ALL CLAPPING

HERRMANN:
Okay. Clap it up.

All right, just know
that where preparation
meets perspiration,

you have...
Constipation?

ALL LAUGHING

Innovation.

Okay, well, I'm gonna head
into my quarters,

and get some paperwork done.

Yeah. Same.

ALL CHUCKLING

HERRMANN:
| believe | will too.

BLAKE GALLO:
Dude, no, no.

Don't give me that, okay?

We were the last group
who had to raise

the 50-foot banger ladder
in under a two-minute
time limit.

But the instructors
flat out told our class

we had the highest scores
and best times they'd seen
in, like, a decade.

They say that to everyone.

What are you two
on about?

We're comparing
academy classes.

They started making it
way easier
after | came through.

SCOFFS I'm like
six months behind you.

Did your class even go
in the smokebox?

Oh, dude, don't.

STELLA: Mmm.
Question for
both of you,

what percentage
of each class was women?

LIN: Not enough!

STELLA: Hey!
CHUCKLING

Violet. What brings you by?

We had to call up Racine,
were low on chem strips,

so Jody Is raiding
61's supply cabinet.

And you stopped in
to say hi. That is...

| came by
to raid your fridge.

But seriously, we had,
like, three women
in our entire class.

You know what?

| just, | just thought
of something. Um...

Can you both finish
making sandwiches?

All right. Yeah, of course.
STELLA: Thank you.

CHUCKLING

SCOFFS

Chief, you got a second?

More than that.

What's on your mind?

Okay,

so | just had
some inspiration.

The short version is,

| gotta do more
for young women out there.

Whatever is happening

in the "women's movement,

it's not happening on streets
like Marquette,

or West Garfield
or South Ashland.

So, what if
| set up a program,

where | recruit young women

from Chicago public schools

to be junior firefighters.

Sounds good.

Though I will say,
as with anything
of this nature at the CFD,

you are gonna need
an abundance of
two things...

Patience and persistence.

| got both those things.

| mean, | can when | need to.
Okay.

What you're gonna
want to do is,

call Owen Horton
in Community Relations
at Headquarters.

And feel free to tell him

that you have
my full support.

Thank you, Chief.

It's a terrific idea.

Truly.

CHUCKLES

GROANS

JULIE: Hi.
I'll hit the supply room
for restock.

BRETT: Great.

Julie!
Hi, Sylvie.

Oh, | hope you don't mind
me dropping by unannounced.

No. Not atall.

| was thinking | could get
your help with neighborhoods.

| mean,
| know | can Google

best neighborhoods
for new moms in Chicago,

but I'd rather land
some insider knowledge

from someone who is in
these streets everyday.

You've come
to the right place.

Trust me.
| am the go-to house hunter
at Firehouse 51.

Oh, hey, there's a show
called that.

House Hunters.
Have you seen it?

lam the biggest fan
in the world.
CHUCKLES

| even roped my ex-fiance
into marathoning
the whole series with me.

Wait... What?

Ex-fiance?

Oh, uh... Yeah.
No, that's a...

That's a whole another...

Yeah. A whole another
something | want to
hear about.

| know we Nave time,

but | will take every
Sylvie Brett story
that | can get.

Fine, but I'm gonna
need some coffee.

BOTH CHUCKLE

CONVERSING INDISTINCTLY

Excuse me.

Could you please direct me
to a Captain Matthew Casey?

I'm Matt.

Oh. All right, well that
saves me a few steps.

I'm Vera Gantry
with the Department of
Child and Family Services.

Oh, okay.

Your name is on
an incident report
from a house fire

this morning involving
Jennifer Davis
and her son, Noah.

The woman
in the wheelchair?

Yes, Sir.

| received
an endangerment complaint

asking DCFS to remove
the child from his mother.

Well, in fact,
there have been...

...five calls regarding
negligence of the mother,
before the fire.

Did they come
from the same neighbor?
I'm not at liberty...

She was a real
piece of work.
Casey.

These are
serious allegations.

Captain Casey, did you see
how the fire started?

It looked like an electrical
fire, but | can't be sure.

That would be a matter
for the Office of
Fire Investigation.

| can say
that the mother, Jenni,

turned over her wheelchair

so she could crawl up
the stairs and try
and save her child.

Couldn't get up the stairs.

That's not what | said.

Were you summoned
by fire alarms
inside the house?

| believe it was a 911 call.

No alarms.
Hey, what's your agenda here?

To protect a child.

It seems more like
it's a pre-made decision

in search of facts
to back it up.

Okay. That's enough.

You have my Captain's
incident report.

Yes, | have
everything | need.

Are you serious?

DOOR CLOSES

This woman came here
to check some boxes.

Didn't matter what | said.

You're right.

| didn't like her attitude.

she wanted
a few choice quotes

so she could take a boy away
from his disabled mother.

That doesn't sit right
with me, Chief.

Doesn't sit right at all.

DOOR CLOSES

Ritter, Herrmann wants
to see you in his office.

His what?

RITTER CLEARS THROAT

Hey. Sit.

Sit.
Oh. Yeah.

So, um,
thank you for coming.

| just wanted to
let you know

that now that | got
my own office,

you can come and knock
on my door any time,
day or night.

There is no door.

| know that this is
a little thrown together,

but as your officer,

uh, | want you to know

that if you ever have
any suggestions or complaints

or you just want to get
something off your chest,

that you can come
to me here,

and we can have
a private conversation.

Well, this area has an echo.

A what?

An echo.

You can hear anything
anyone Says,

like all over
the bunk room.

That's why no one sat
on the sofa
that used to be here.

CRUZ: It's true.
| can hear you.

Expired?

Yeah.
Way expired.

| was told | could find
Stella Kidd in here?

Yes, you can.
And, yes, you did.

Owen Horton, CFD Community
Outreach Department.

| got your message,
Hi.

| was running back
from Manny's, thought I'd
stop by and get the low down.

Well, firstly, thank you
for responding so quickly.

Okay. So, like | said
on the message,

I'm calling it,
"Girls on Fire."

What I'm thinking
is high school girls,
young women,

can see that there is a career
for them in the fire service.

So, we have them
run drills, soread hoses,

climb ladders,
ride in the trucks

and hear from women
who are in the trenches

every day at the CFD.

You know, let these teenage
girls feel empowered.

What you're gonna want
to do is write me up
a formal proposal.

You'll find the guidelines
on the CFD server.

Get a female officer
to co-sponsor with you,

and email it to me
when you're done.

CELL PHONE VIBRATING

Dana.

Yeah, | had a quick stop,
I'll be there
in five minutes.

Okay. Thanks.

Uh, um,

a female officer?

All outreach programs require
an officer's full commitment.

His or her presence
at all meetings and events.

| think the only way
this one flies
is if it's female-lead.

Right.

Exactly.

DOOR OPENS

DOOR CLOSES

| think he’s Into it.

SIGHS | have to go print up
a list of female officers.

ALARM BLARING

DISPATCHER: ON PA
Ambulance 61, medical assist,

8706 West Roosevelt.

SIREN WAILING

Did you boys call
for a medical assist?

NESBITT: Yep.
Where?

Full moon, 12 o'clock.

SCATTING

Oh, lordy.

SCATTING

SIGHS Okay. I'm sorry,
but this is a police matter.

NESBITT: No. No, no, no.

Clearly this is
a medical assist.

Look at that guy,
he could be dangerous,
we don't know.

Do you see a weapon?
| don't see much
of anything.

Okay, I'm sure this'll
be a big hoot down
at the district,

but we're not
treating this guy
until he's restrained.

No one's complaining
about a crime,

therefore no call to arrest.

Um, | am. | just went to
get some coffee,

and now | can't get back
inside my Office.

And that's gotta be
some sort of crime?

This is a public building,
public space.

Unless he’s committing
a crime right now...

Public indecency!
That's at least
a misdemeanor.

You guys just don't
want to deal with it.

Listen, honey,
give me your name,

I'll tell your Supervisor
you're refusing medical.

Honey?

Where's your body-cam?
It's right here.

Hi. I'm Emily Foster
from Firehouse 51,

and your Officer,

Nesbitt, is an A-hole.
That's not nice.

NESBITT: Let me show
you something.

MAN SHOUTING
Hey. What the...

Stop! Police.

Well, it's
a crime now!

NESBITT: Hey, stop!

l, uh, guess
I'll get back
to work,

after | scrub that image
out of my brain.

BRETT CHUCKLING

Um... Excuse me.

Does your office handle
residential or commercial
listings?

Uh, both actually.

Nicholas Winter.

Oh. Sylvie Brett.

Hey, Chief.
Yeah?

I'm gonna run by
that house fire
from yesterday,

talk to the neighbor
who made that complaint.

What do you mean,
"talk to her?"

Talk to her.

| could go with you,
Captain.

| really connected
to that kid. I'd like to come,
if you don't mind.

Not at all.

Okay. Don't do anything
to have headquarters call me.

Copy that, Chief.

I'll be home later.
| gotta stop by
the academy,

and meet with this
lady chief.

All right.
I'll see you later.
All right.

Absolutely, | hear you,
it sounds like
a great program.

SO, you'll co-sponsor
with me?

! wish | could,
Stella.

But you know | don't
put my name to anything

unless | can give it
my full attention.

In addition to running
a battalion,

| use my days off
to support the 100 Club.

Oh, yes.

That's right. | Knew that.
You said that before.

Look, I'd love to
help you...
Help you with what?

Oh. Um, it's...

Actually, Stella needs
an officer

to co-sponsor
her Girls, um...

Girls on Fire.
Girls on Fire program.

Sounds interesting.
It is.

It is.
LEONE:
Tell you what,

I've got breakfast free.

Why don't we discuss it
over coffee and pancakes?

Okay.

Okay.

CAR ENGINE STOPS
CAR DOORS OPEN

Ma'am.
Arlene.

I'm Matt Casey.
This is Blake Gallo.

We're with the Chicago Fire
Department.

| remember.

Are you the one
who called DCFS,
filed a complaint?

The mother, Jenni Davis?

She can't take care
of her yard.

Why would you think
she can take care
of a little boy?

Her yard?
This woman has no respect

for the property line.

The roots of her trees
run directly into my yard,

ripping through my garden.

You mean to tell me
you called to have a child

taken away from his mother
because of some tree roots?

That woman
almost got her son killed.

CASEY: Do you know
what it's like to have
a son taken away?

‘Cause | do.

And what you're doing
is reprehensible.

You don't know
half of anything.

DOOR SHUTS

| didn't know
you had a son, Captain.

Long story.

Let's take a look
at the second floor.

Maybe swing by the hospital,

let the mom know
what she's dealing with
in terms of fire damage.

That sounds good
to me.

So, | have houses
in Hyde Park,

Old Town and Wicker Park.

I'm more than happy
to set aside a day

to drive around, show them,
see what speaks to you.

We can talk about styles,

traditional, craftsman,
English.

We can talk about
school districts.

We can talk about work
or walking neighborhoods

or anything and everything
that's important to you
as a buyer.

That'd be great.

Will you be coming too?

Oh. Are you kidding?
| live for this stuff.

Well, then it sounds like
we're gonna have some fun.

Let me go
grab my calendar,

and we can set aside a date.
I'll be right back.

DOOR OPENS

IMPERCEPTIBLE

He just asked me out.

Well, yeah.
He was into you.

You think?

He couldn't take
his eyes off you.

And you should
definitely say yes.

Uh, I'm not really looking
to date right now.

| knew it.
You're hung up on Matt!

I... No... We're...
We're, we're friends.

Just friends.
Trust me.

He was married
to my best friend.

It's a whole thing.

Okay.

SIGHING Julie!
Okay. | will leave it
at that.

SIGHS

And so, what | want
to show them,
really show them,

is how responsibility
goes both ways, you know?

And when those bells go off,

you have to be fearless
and professional and ready.

The skills
that they learn,

they can carry over
into their schools,

their families,
their communities,

whether they become
firefighters or not.

Girls can be heroes,

and they need to know that.

Hmm.

Anyway, that's it.
That's what | want to do.

Okay, yeah.

Yeah. There you go.
SERVER: Thank you.

SO, what do you think?

| mean...

Girls on Fire! Right?

EXHALES DEEPLY

Not interested.

You're a schemer.

| don't work with schemers.

It's not as bad
as | would've thought.

He's a general contractor.
Ah.

CASEY: Good news is
most of the damage

is contained to the hallway
and a couple of bedrooms
upstairs.

And | have insurance,
including fire.

It's the one smart thing
Braden did before he left.

They stand up there
and they say,

"In sickness and tin health."

But those are just words

until spinal stenosis
sets in.

Braden walked out
on Noah and me,

never looked back.

Never called once.
It's been three years.

sorry. Sounds like
a terrible person.

VERA: Jennifer Davis.

As required by
Illinois state law,

lam informing you that
the Department of Child
and Family Services

is taking Noah
into state custody.

What?

Until such time
as a family court justice
can render a decision.

Now a copy of your case report
has been given to your doctor.

No. You can't do this.

A copy of your case file
has been given to your doctor,

which he will share
with you when you are ready.

You can't do this!
Come on!

If you have any questions,

you can call DCFS
during office hours.

FOOTSTEPS RECEDING

Noah!
NOAH: Mom!

JENNIFER:
No, wait!

Mom!

Noah!

JENNIFER: No!
You can't do this!

It was awful, Chief.
Just awful.

| can imagine.

And this neighbor, Arlene?

She's a whole another level.
BLAKE GALLO:
No. She's disgusting.

| don't like saying that
about people,
but that's what she is.

Okay. | understand.

And | agree this is
an awful situation
and you feel helpless.

The way they treated
that mother was...

However, we have
a shift to run.

| need you both focused.

We will be.

| will be.

Good.

And so that exhausts

my list of women officers
| Know.

The whole list could've fit
on a post-it note anyway.

And, you know, | don't want
to co-sponsor Girls on Fire

without someone
who's dependable,

enthusiastic, smart.

| Know a woman officer
who is all those things.

Really?

Who?

Wendy Seager.

The woman who threw
vibes at you
right in front of me?

Speaking of paying
attention...

the guy who helped us

with the police
and naked guy call?

Mmm. Do |?

He was F-I-N-E, fine.

Go on.
He asked me out.

And you're
just now telling me?

| haven't answered him yet.

Oh, girl...
| wanted to sleep on it.

| think that's smart.

You go too eager beaver
and they think,

What problems
does this gal have

that she's jumping
to go out with me?"

Listen to Gallo.

Or, maybe don't call

Listen to Ritter.

Is there a place
we can talk?

This Is fine.

Okay.

We just came

five of the biggest men
you've ever seen

were trying to lift
that machine
to save their friend.

They couldn't budge
it an inch.

All their strength,
all their strain,

and they failed.

Over my years
in the fire service,

I've witnessed all kinds
of people get overwhelmed

by a fire or defeated
by an accident.

Strong, able-bodied people
in the prime of their lives.

Point Is,

Noah Davis wasn't
in any more danger

because his mother
uses a wheelchair.

The way she tried
to arm-crawl
up the stairs,

I've never seen
anything like it.

The woman filing
this complaint, Arlene?

She's bitter because
she doesn't like

her neighbor's tree roots
in her yard.

That's the kind
of person she is.

| don't know
Jenni Davis well,

but | do Know character
is defined by action.

And that woman
puts being a mother
over everything,

including her own safety.

lf that's not a fit parent,
| don't Know what is.

It's a matter
for family court now.

lt doesn't have to be.

| have a little experience
with DCFS.

Do you know Tina
at the West Lincoln branch?

| do.

| had ason once...
Briefly.

Turns out his real dad dropped
back in the picture, and l...

We couldn't deny
Louie that love.

Tina pushed it through.

And | know that if you
put your mind to it,

you can tear up that report

and there won't be any need
for courtrooms or judges.

A mother and son
can be reunited,

not in a week,
not in a month.

Today.

What's this?

What is this?

Did you plug a hot lamp

into the wall
right next to a plastic
shower curtain?

Well, see...

There was no
officer's quarters for me,

so | thought that...

Report to the academy

for remedial fire
responsibility training.

Monday.

Yes, Chief.

SEAGER: Why's it smell
like burnt plastic in here?

SEVERIDE: SIGHS
Don't ask.

Stella, Lieutenant Seager
looking for you.

Thanks for coming by.

Happy to.
And it's Wendy.

Wendy.
Yeah.

| got your message,
and I'm intrigued.

SEVERIDE: I'm just gonna...

CLICKS TONGUE

SCOFFS

Severide's great.

But you know that.

| do.

| do.

So, the reason | reached out,

| have a program
I'm looking to start

that'll benefit young women
and | need a female officer
to co-sponsor.

I'm calling it Girls on Fire.

And the idea Is,

| reach out to
public school girls

and show them what a career
in the fire service
is all about.

It's hands-on.

Direct.

Small groups...
Say no more.

I'm in.

You are?
Are you kidding?

My classmates at South Shore
used to make fun of me

when | said | wanted to
be a firefighter.

Yeah.
"You're a girl.

You can't lift a bag
of feathers.
It'll never work."

CHUCKLING

| heard it all.

Young women need to see
real role models at CFD,

know this is a career choice
and not just a dream for boys.

Exactly!

This program sounds bad-ass.

Whatever you need,
sign me up.

CELL PHONE VIBRATING

Nicholas? Hey.

Um. Yes, yes, | did.

Hey, listen...

| just... lm not...

I'm not ready to
get social yet, um...

I've got some things
| need to sort out.

No... SIGHS
Yeah, I'm sorry, um...

| Know people say this
but trust me,

it's me, it's not you.

Okay.

Yes.
VEHICLE ENGINE STARTS

Take care.

Mom!

JENNIFER: Oh.

Noah.
