Everything that mattered to us was in
that house.

Your stove had to shorten the ignition
unit.

This wasn't your fault.

Hey, can you give me a hand, actually?

You should come to Molly's tonight.

Let's get there.

Wasn't that the guy who stopped by? I
guess he changed his mind.

Van Meter guided me, put his trust in
me, taught me most of what I know about

fire investigation.

Dad, can you hear me?

Numbers are rising.

It's on its own.

Not bad.

It's a solid mid -winter pace.

Sam Eater.

Oh, I bet he's so glad to be back at
home.

There he is. He's already got a case he
wants to talk to me about.

Can't keep a good man down? Nope.

Hey, Quad's off the shift. I'm just
going to stop by his place before

back to the firehouse.

Great.

I bet that's what's best for him. Just
keep him busy.

Yeah. He never likes sitting still.

Speaking of, race over.

Thank you.

So, what's with the foo -foo toast?

It's, uh, sprouted. What is it
sprouting?

It's what they stock at Firehouse 40.
It's kind of grown to like it.

What has that place done to you? Hey,
you know, they're not half bad over

There's no 51, but I gotta say, I'm
pleasantly surprised.

How's the house hunt going?

Don't get me started.

You know, every single house that we see
has got some crazy deal breaker. I

mean, it's turned into this full
-fledged Goldilocks situation.

What about...

rebuilding on the old lot. Is that still
off the table? Believe me, we would

love to, Cindy, especially because
that's her dream.

But with the construction costs, what
they are now, it's just not realistic.

I don't know. The search continues, and
by the time this is over, I will have

viewed every single house in the tri
-state area.

Well, you're always saying you want to
see more of the world.

Told him I don't have time to lie around
like a CPR mannequin. There's work to

do. Yeah, it looks like it.

I take it this is the one you were
telling me about? Yeah.

Someone set fire to an underground
transformer.

Knocked out power from the whole
neighborhood.

The transformer was under the sidewalk
covered by a metal grate used for

venting. Flammable substance was poured
through it. Lab tests confirmed it was

grease. Looks like somebody thought they
were dumping into a storm drain.

My theory, too.

I looked into the closest restaurant,
Valencia Bar and Grill, but they've got

valid grief disposal contract.

So why risk dumping illegally?

Something doesn't add up.

That's why I want you to talk to the
shop owner next door. He called in the

fire. No one's taken a statement yet,
and for all we know, he saw our suspect.

Why not let the intramural flyhead take
care of this?

Captain Hargrave?

She comes from forensics, not field
work.

And since when did I trust someone else
to finish my cases?

Besides you, I mean.

Since never. Yeah.

Is he going to help or not?

You know I will.

Novak? What? You're not going to believe
this. I just got a text from Sam. He

wants to come by 51 today.

Sam Carver?

He is in Chicago with his Denver
firehouse for some kind of training

his chief heard about the joint duty
program.

Well, that's kind of cool.

Yeah. So Carver wants to stop by and get
the lowdown on it so they can maybe

start one up.

Riley, that's amazing.

Yeah.

and also must be kind of weird.

When's the last time you talked to him?

It's been a while.

Months, but maybe in a good way. Like,
the air is clear now, maybe.

Yeah, totally.

Yeah, so I should text him back, tell
him, yeah, he should come by, right?

Definitely. Okay.

Morning. Morning.

Hey, I'm sorry I didn't make it to
Molly's tonight.

Not a problem.

She's texting with a firefighter who
used to work here. He's coming by later.

Truck 81, ambulance 61.

Person injured near exit 32 on I -90 is
out.

Cut the power. Get up there and secure
the victim. I'm on it.

Permanent. Get the aerial and the victim
directly under the victim.

You got it, Lieutenant. Let's go.

Fire department, can you hear me?

We're still finding the breaker.

For now, find another anchor point.

Copy that.

Make them secure!

Found him, Lieutenant.

Kill it!

Break is off.

Yeah, yeah, I'm good.

All right.

I got him. Give me some light.

All right, let's check his airway.

Breathing is a little shallow, but pulse
is pretty good.

All right.

Wow. Okay, no electrical burns, no entry
or exit.

He's going seriously. Let's decide.

Okay, let's load him and get him to med.
Here we go. Thank you.

They're dying that big and flashy.

They're not going after justice. They're
selling their own snake oil.

Somehow I never knew that accident
lawyers were such a trigger for you.

Shameless opportunist. And that, you
know, so -called Uncle Larry, he's no

different. One of them do you dirty or
something?

They're doing society dirty.

You've seen his commercials, right? No.

Arrest my case!

Hey. Hey.

I'm just starting to spin out about the
whole Carver thing.

Oh, talk to her. What's it going to be
like seeing him after so long and then

long without talking? Okay, well, um,
there were never any bad feelings,

It was just... heartbreaking.

Yeah.

Heartbreaking.

And now he's going to be right here in
front of me.

And what if I see him and I can't handle
it and I want to run in the other

direction?

Well, I guess you're not really going to
know until it happens.

I guess not.

Well, whatever it is, we are here for
it.

Thank you.

What time do you see the flash?

I was locking up for the night, so it
must have been around 7.

Anybody else nearby that could have
started the fire?

No. The street was empty.

As soon as I saw the smoke come pouring
out, I called the cops.

And any other restaurants along the
block?

Any that could have been illegally
dumping grease?

Valencia is the only kitchen around.

Except for the food truck that parked
here on the weekend.

I'll take the name for this truck.

Sure. But I gave them to your guys
already.

You did?

Yeah. Another fire investigator came by.

Captain Hall?

Art, Captain Hargrave, that's the one.

I'll take the names of those trucks
anyway. For some reason, they never made

into the file.

Firehouse 51.

Correct, this morning.

Did he give a reason?

Okay.

We'll be ready, yeah.

Guys. Yeah. Let's huddle up.

So, I just got a call from CFD's Office
of Professional Standards and Practices.

Turns out, Uncle Larry, that lawyer, he
is not just a pretty face on a

billboard. He owns the sign and the land
where today's incident took place. So

he's been calling around the CFD to see
which firehouse responded.

Do we know what he wants? He wants
statements from anyone who was there.

That can't be good. Oh, you think he's
coming after 51?

These guys, they make 800 bucks an hour.
I bet that he's not coming across town

to pat us on the back.

Oh, my God, he's here.

Already?

Oh!

That's him, Parker.

Glad you're here.

Me too.

Look at you.

Hey.

Hey. Hi.

Hey.

Hey. Look at the hair. You got no rules
in Denver?

We've been traveling and training for a
few weeks. There's no need to shave.

Well, you look amazing. How are you? How
was Denver?

Everything's going great.

Thanks.

Miss you guys, though.

Sorry. Hey, talk joint duty when I get
back. No problem.

About the catching up to do. Yeah, we'll
keep him busy.

I was

walking past. I heard someone calling
for help.

He's up here.

What happened?

Oh, God, my hand.

Uh, we can't free it. It's too
entangled.

Am I going to lose my head?

Let's just get you safe first, okay?

Give him 25 micrograms of fentanyl. I'll
call it in.

Okay. Hey, Amber, 61 Command requesting
backup for a technical disentanglement.

Copy, 61. A fire company was already
dispatched.

ETA any minute now.

Hey, Vi.

Hey, Matt.

What are we looking at?

His hand is twisted up pretty bad. No
arterial spray, but we can't pull it out

and risk tearing something.

Hey, pal.

What's your name?

Brad. Just grab me the chain breaker.
That'll do the trick. Copy that.

You know, I ride a vintage bike myself.

I was thinking about adding some custom
pipes like those. You do that work

yourself?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. All
right, keep him upright. Don't let it

pull out of his hand. Reinhardt, lean
into him. Here you go, Lieutenant.

Hold him steady.

Okay.

Easy.

Get it. All right.

Got it? There we go.

Let's get him on his back.

Keep his arm elevated.

Perfect. Awesome.

Pressure's low.

All right, we'll run fluid. Help us get
him on the stretcher? Yeah.

Don't worry, we got it, Lieutenant.

One, two, three.

There we go.

Okay.

How's it looking?

Lines are cool, right?

Here we go.

Get a load of this guy.

I need to speak to someone in charge.

I'm going to head back before I say
something that we're both going to

Mr. Langer, hi. I'm Lieutenant Delicate.
It was my unit that responded to the

incident this morning. What the hell
happened out there?

The man you hired to fix your billboard
almost died.

I've been at this 25 years, and after
what happened today, you can bet your

that a multi -million dollar lawsuit is
on its way. I promise you that. The city

is broke as it is, and you are
threatening to sue us? We were out there

man's life.

No, no, no, no. I'm not.

You got it wrong here. I'm not going to
sue the fire department. I'm the target

here. The target.

Yeah, that billboard tech, the one that
got shocked, he's seeing dollar signs.

The guy's already lawyered up. They're
coming after me because it's my

I need your help.

What kind of help?

Well, you guys were on the scene. You
saw it all, so I just need information

I can get my ducks in a row.

I think that's fair, isn't it?

I'm going to talk to my guys.

We will look over the incident reports,
and then we'll get back to you. Great.

Thank you. Okay. Here's my card. You
call me.

Day or night. Thank you.

I'm wall -to -wall with training stuff
until I leave, but I'll find a way to

to Molly tomorrow.

See you, everybody.

Whatever you can spare, we'll take it.

I'm sorry.

I don't have more time this trip.

I didn't expect it.

Don't apologize.

I'm just really glad to see you.

Hey, guys. Thanks for joining.

I was just telling Carver about the
origins of the program and how we

could help everybody involved.

She figured. This program is all Violet.
It's a great idea.

No, no, no. Novak helped out a lot, and
Vasquez was the first one to sign up for

the program.

Oh, you want to talk a little bit about
it from a firefighter's perspective?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, sure.

Well, I went into it thinking it would
be second nature, but, you know, it took

a beat.

You've got to think differently.

Which is cool. And I'll tell you what,
next year it's an 81.

Just felt like I had a second radar up,
if you know what I mean.

I get that.

Yeah, like you could see the scene
differently.

Good for both sides of the job.

Yeah, yeah, exactly, man. And, uh,
training was hell.

Oh, please.

Violet brought in enough chicken breast
to feed a small army, put me in my

place, and sharpened my IV.

I did that to teach you not to shame
you. Both. Come on, admit it.

Well, did I teach you to place an IV
like a superstar or not?

Okay, Vasquez, you were supposed to be
helping her.

Hell to pull that.

Fine, fine. No, I came out of it a
better firefighter, and I would do it

No heartbeat.

I bet.

Can you show me how you've been
scheduling everything?

Yeah, absolutely.

In fact, I think you brought the
schedule in with you, right? Yep. I have

somewhere here.

Valerie said you wanted to see me, and I
can only assume it's because of a

certain visit from our bloodsucking
uncle.

I read over the incident reports from
the billboard this morning, and you

that the victim's harness was clipped
onto the electrical conduit. It's a

small pipe. I mean, it was never meant
to support that kind of weight.

So did it look like his harness snagged
onto the conduit after he fell, or did

it look like he clipped himself?

Because if it is the latter... Then he
electrocuted himself, and our

victim is then at fault.

Yes. And you are the only one with the
vantage point being on the aerial.

So what did you see exactly?

Well, he may have clipped onto the
conduit. My

guess would be he did it because it was
closer.

He may have.

I'm fine.

I saw it. It was clear as day.

And, I mean, are we really going to go
out of our way to help this Uncle Larry

Gay? He's become public record.

Remember? So, in any case, we don't get
to choose who we help. We answer the

call. That is the job.

All right.

Anything else, Lieutenant?

Yes, this is Larry's info.

And you are going to deliver it to him
right after shift.

Do you recognize those names?

Sure.

It's every food truck connected to the
transformer fire investigation.

Right. So if you're aware of it, how
come they never made it into the

report?

You being the interim captain, is there
any reason why they were withheld from

Van Meter?

What would that be?

I don't know.

But if you make the solve, that sure
makes the case for you to stay in that

seat.

I'm not making any case, Lieutenant.

I'm very aware I'm in an interim
position.

I don't know what file you're looking
at.

The witness statement is in our system.
Not only that, but we ran with that

lead, and I identified the food truck
responsible for the fire.

They were reported to the authorities.

So you're telling me the case is closed?

Yes.

Weeks ago.

Van Meter closed it himself.

Did Van Meter put you on this case?

What?

No. I... I was doing some follow -up on
some open cases and I must have pulled

the wrong file.

It's my mistake, Captain.

If you want a copy of the file, one of
the assistants up front can help you

It's a client gift. Pretty cool, huh?

I guess if you're into urban planning,
incident reports be requested.

Oof.

All right. Well, let's cut to it. How
screwed am I? You'll be happy to know

the billboard tech you hired, it was
because of his own actions that put him

the hospital.

Relieved, maybe, but not happy, no.
Either way, I guess you're off the hook.

You know, I saw that look on your face
when I came by the firehouse.

I've seen it a lot.

Just so you know what I do, it's not
what people think, not all the time.

Anyway, like the client that gave me
that was a city bus driver. She drove a

of those routes herself.

And then one day, bus fell into a trench
that wasn't properly covered, left her

with a broken back, paralyzed from the
waist down.

Developers said it was her fault,
lobbied the city to...

You anchor pension as leverage.

So I took that case pro bono and I dug
up a ton of proof.

Said that that trench had been unsafe
for weeks.

I got my client a lot of money, much
more than she ever would have made in

lifetimes driving a bus.

Doesn't bring her legs back, but it's a
lot better than nothing.

So you old people screw up accountable
when things go south.

Yeah, that's right.

You keep me in suspense.

What's the status on that case?

Well, your instincts were right. It
wasn't anybody from the Valencia Bar and

Grill.

Turns out it was a food truck driver
parked nearby.

I knew you'd crack it. The thing is,
Tom, that case had been solved already.

Before your injury.

Captain Hargrave had already ID'd the
vendor responsible and you signed off on

the final report.

Of course the case was closed.

I only needed you to double -check
Hargrave's work.

After all, she's a forensics expert, not
a field investigator.

Right, I get it.

I was just being thorough.

I think maybe it might be a good idea to
see somebody.

A neurologist.

Just to be safe.

What are you talking about, safe?

You can see, I'm fine.

Yeah, but a doc like that, I mean, they
can give you a better idea of exactly

what's going on.

I think your daughter, Carrie, might
want to know, too.

You know, taking a break, it might not
be such a bad idea.

Who the hell do you think you are,
telling your captain what to do?

You're way out of your lane, Lieutenant.

Here, let me help.

Don't come in here telling me what to
do. Understand?

You're not family.

You're just a firefighter who works for
me.

You can go.

Dismissed.

So the chief has had me on his hip for a
while, but I was surprised that he

brought me along for the training trip,
so.

Oh, sounds like he made quite the
impression.

Yeah, of course he has.

Taught him everything you know.

My chief has heard an earful about you,
believe me.

You know what, guys? Next round's on me.

Aw. Carver, feel free to take it up a
notch, man.

I don't drink, but thank you. Oh, sorry.

So, how's the new guy doing?

He's a smoke eater. He's been a good
addition to the team so far.

Yeah, he's a really good dude. Everybody
thinks a little closer to us, but we're

chipping away. He's been starting to
open up recently.

I feel like we're finally getting to
know him.

Yeah, but you are missed, Carver.

That's what you're getting at.

Back in effect. I want to say, hey, the
weather's good.

All right.

You like it? Good.

Ooh, Carver.

Listen, man, I just want to say that I
think it's great that you're bringing

joint duty program to Denver.

Yeah.

Okay. Well, no, I just mean that, you
know, Violet's worked super hard to

it to life, so it means a lot to her.

I know exactly how much it means to
Violet.

Maybe more than anybody.

I don't need you to tell me.

I'm sorry, do we have a problem?

There's no problem.

Violet has been through hell in the
past.

And she deserves the best.

Not some hard -partying tough guy with a
chip on his shoulder.

He was so angry.

For as long as I've worked arson, it's
always been Van Meter right there with

me. No.

Hard words, no fights.

You know it's not really about you.

I should have called Carrie, let her
handle it.

Like you said, I'm not family.

Going behind his back to his daughter
would have felt like a betrayal.

To him and to you.

And you may not be family, but your bond
is real and it's deep.

His breathing's so rough.

Physically, he's just... different.

I don't know if we'll be able to pass
the physicals again.

Ever.

That must be killing him.

That's probably why he's lashing out.

Yeah, it reminds me of...

What you used to say about your dad.

Raging about being disrespected.

You know, work with his life too.

I didn't have much sympathy back then.

Things were so bad between us.

All Benny wanted was to know that his
life's work was worth it.

To feel needed.

Appreciated.

Too late to fix that now.

And even if it wasn't, I don't know what
I could have done.

Or what I can do now for Van Meter.

Hey there. Top of the morning.

Ooh. What?

I got a lead in a 2022 Challenger this
morning.

She might be the one. That's very
exciting.

Yeah? Here, check her out.

Ooh.

She's beautiful. How many miles?

26 ,000.

It's not bad.

Right? It's not bad at all.

Hey, that Carver guy, is he coming
around again today? I heard he's coming

the firehouse later, but only to say his
fond farewells.

You're going to feel like you're having
a hard time letting go, huh?

See you out there.

Hey, Severin, wait up.

See, I wanted to ask you.

Do you think it's possible that I could
get my hands on some of that OFI

paperwork from the house fire at my
place?

You want the cause and origin reports?

Specifically, it's anything that's
related to the oven unit causing the

What for?

Nothing really. It's just I may have
retained Uncle Larry as

my legal counsel.

It turns out he's not so bad.

I mean, he's a great guy to have in your
corner if something goes wrong.

Yeah, I've seen the commercials.

Okay, well, Larry thinks that with the
off -eye evidence that he might be able

to help Cindy and the kids and me get
back up on our feet. But I want you to

know, none of this would be possible if
it hadn't been for you and Van Meter

being so dogged in your investigation.

I owe you guys.

There you are.

Searched the whole firehouse for you.

Sorry, I got caught up looking for old
McGill for a step since the EFT won't

replace the damaged one.

I'm so glad to hear how well
everything's going for you, Sam.

Same. The joint duty program, it's
something.

Yeah.

I guess everything worked out for the
best.

Yeah.

Sounds good?

Lieutenant Severide.

Again.

How's our friend Van Meter doing?

Not sure. I haven't been able to get in
touch last day or so.

He's probably just getting bombarded
with well wishes.

So what brings you over?

Dr. Captain, actually.

Tom Van Meter is the best fire captain
that has ever led OFI, and I've known

plenty. So I've heard.

He's saved a lot of lives and a lot of
livelihood.

After everything he's given to this
department, I...

I think he deserves the chance to be a
part of it for as long as he wants to

even during recovery.

What are you acting?

If he's still in recovery, he can't come
into the offices.

And ultimately, if he can't pass the
physical, he can't be in the CFD.

Simple as that. That's exactly it.

I've been thinking, maybe it's not that
simple.

Maybe there's another way.

So, at the end of the day, are you glad
that you got to speak with her?

Yeah, I think so.

I don't know.

I panicked at the last minute about the
idea of saying goodbye again, so I tried

to hide.

Did he find you? He did.

Then he was just so cool and unemotional
about everything. It just kind of

pissed me off, you know?

Yeah, but who knows what's really going
through his head.

Oh, wow.

Vasquez at Molly. Two off shifts in a
row. This is new.

Yeah.

Hey, what's up, Sal? What's going on?
Nothing much.

Join us.

Hey, I've been waiting for you.

What's this?

All right, you know that billboard
lawyer, Uncle Larry?

It pays to have a lawyer in the family.
Yeah, that's him. Okay.

This is a long story, but he ended up
looking into the stove that caused our

fire. And it turns out that we have a
slam -dunk liability case against the

manufacturer.

Is that right?

Yeah, so he sends out a demand letter,
and he's expecting, you know, back and

forth and back and forth. And they don't
want to fight.

They just want to make this go away.

They send back an offer.

Holy hell.

Larry really did make him cry uncle.

Herman.

This is one serious payout. Yeah.

And it's enough to rebuild on our old
lot. And that's what we're going to do.

Oh, Herman, this is great. Really.

Brother, after everything you've been
through, you finally get to go home.

You okay, Munch?

Why, yeah.

No, I'm just, I'm happy for you.

Come on, you think that I can't tell
when something's up?

Come on, I want to know.

It's Firehouse 40.

It's, uh, it's not going great.

Okay, I don't understand. You know, you
said the crew, great, you know, the

bread. I hate.

the bread.

And I hate the way those guys see me.
You know? Like I'm just some old timer.

They got no clue how hard I worked to
get where I am. The sacrifices it took.

And not just my sacrifices, yours too.

Honestly, I think it just hit me.

This might really be how I finish off
the job.

And if it's not at 51, I don't see what
the point is.

Okay. You know, I stood on the burned
-out lot that used to be our home, and I

thought to myself, it's over.

We're never going to get back.

But now, anything can happen, Lodge.

You just got to believe that.

And I know that you're going to get back
home, too.

You're halfway decent at that, you know?

Giving advice?

Don't let that get out because I got
enough people bothering me as is.

Okay.

Captain, sorry to show up. I wasn't
sure.

I'm glad you're here. Come in.

I'm the one who owes an apology.

I'm sorry, Kelly.

I know it wasn't easy for you to say
what you did.

Hell, it took nerve.

I told Carrie what you said.

She went with me to med yesterday to
talk to a zoo full of doctors.

Well, how'd it go?

Turns out I'm an old guy in need of some
repair and a little R &R.

But I'm not giving up, Kelly.

Just so you know, I'm going to prove
those doctors wrong, and I'll beat that

-for -duty exam.

It might be a long shot, but it's not
impossible.

If anyone can do it, it's you.

But in the meantime, while you're
getting assessed, take a break.

We should put you to use.

What are you talking about?

All the consulting firms that we use at
OFI, like the ones who dug into him and

Stone Company. I mean, you know how much
the department relies on them.

Of course.

Well, Captain Hargrave was hoping that
you could help out in that capacity.

You mean go private?

At least at first, yeah.

I mean, it would save our asses having
someone like you there.

With all the backlogged cases we have.

I know you have a lot on your plate,
but... Is that something that you'd be

interested in, Captain?

If they need me, then yeah.

I suppose I might have time for that.

Oh. Looks like Dr.

John Frost is finally off shift.

See ya. Oh.

He does not seem like a John.

Can't you at least pretend that you're
sad to leave us? Guys, I'm really going

to miss you.

And also, see ya.

Damn it.

I forgot to tell her I got the new
Challenger.

Yeah, it's in frostbite blue. Very nice.

Yes, Kelly would approve.

Yeah, that's why I'm on filled -in
bidders all night and I'm driving.

You should show us your car, because
it's worth your heads, too.

Hell yeah.

I mean, it's parked right outside. Come
on, I'll show you.

You know what?

I got to start cleaning up. You two go.

Oh. I'll give you the tour next shift.

OK. Promise you it's worth it. All
right.

Thanks, Stella.

Night, Vi.

Oof. Thanks.

Wow. Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.

She's something, right?

Yeah, very cool frostbite blue.

I like it.

You want a ride?

Oh, you want.

Honestly, I'm in kind of a bad headspace
right now.

So it's probably better for me to get an
Uber and ruin another driver's night

instead.

Let me see.

Hey, Vi.

Yeah? Question for you.

Okay. When I first got to 51, a kid told
me that I was replacing a hell of a

driver. You guessing that was Carver?

Yeah, that was Carver.

Why?

Just so you know, I'm not Carver.

Okay? I am nothing like him.
