My whole life, I wanted to be a cop.

How do you know where to find us?

It's not too late for you if you wanted to join the police academy.

I'm a firefighter. This is where I'm meant to be.

I know it's hard.

There are some things we can't get back.

The settlement on our house is enough to rebuild on our old lot. And that's what

we're going to do.

Pascal handed you the keys to the castle. What?

Hargrave's leaving. Oh, F .I.

That office is yours if you want it.

We got smoke pushing from the back, but no visible fire.

So let's vent the rear third.

Mask up.

What the hell was that?

These construction guys, you got to book them three months in advance, and they

will not start until they see the permit.

I know.

That's why I went down to the permit office yesterday.

I even brought cookies to move us up the line.

Yeah? Well, we still don't have a permit, and they're going to start the

foundation pour in three days, so I guess those cookies that you made, they

have not been so good.

Excuse me? Hang on.

The construction guy texted me back.

And?

Uh...

Apparently, they sent the text right to him.

He says we're good to go.

You want to take back what you said about the cookies?

No, so I guess now that I got to go over there and supervise the job site, and

of course, it's on my day off.

Oh, are you seriously complaining right now?

You just got good news.

No, I'm not complaining.

I'm venting. Oh, Christopher.

What?

Listen to me.

If we're going to survive rebuilding this house, I'm going to need you to

practice a little bit more patience.

and a lot more gratitude.

We are very lucky to be getting a second chance.

I think you need to recognize that.

You're right.

What is happening?

Are you having a heart attack right now?

No. I have been a stress case and an ingrate through this whole process.

Christopher, if this is an apology, it's not great.

It's not an apology. It's a proposal.

Cindy Harmon, will you marry me?

We did that already.

Well, I want to do it again.

And this time, I want to do it in front of the whole world.

You want to renew our vows?

After everything we've been through with our house, the kids.

32 years of marriage, and we still love each other. I'd say that is something

worth celebrating, don't you think?

Where's your head at?

I've been waiting for this lightbulb moment the

last two days.

But it ain't happening.

Yeah. No gut feeling.

The meter says OFI is my destiny.

But... Squad 51.

So it's a huge decision About

your gut, what's that say?

This is really about you and what you want

I'll support you no matter what.

Have you talked to Cruz?

No, no one knows about the official arson offer.

It's on the QP.

Has Hargrave said when she wants to announce?

Yeah.

I have three days.

I mean, the part where the mom confesses? Insane, right? I stayed up

the morning to finish it.

Have you seen it?

Well, never heard of it. But I think my algorithm's all messed up. I got it next

to my account, so... Hmm.

Shared Netflix account. Must have been serious, huh?

She, uh... You

weren't expecting him?

No, but keeping people on their toes is the fifth kind of thing, so... Never

totally surprised to see him.

Hey, Pop.

Yo.

What's up?

What's up?

Well, I ran into Chief Mottola down at the federal building this morning.

Yeah, he said you never rescheduled the meeting. You canceled it. I know.

Look, I'm sorry. I didn't think it was that urgent.

Plus, he just wants to hear all the details about the Haas situation, right?

mean, if he just wanted details, he could read the police report.

No, he wants to meet with you because he heard how well you handled yourself.

He was impressed, Sal.

Okay.

Look, Mottola's not just Petey's training commander.

He's one of the few people who stuck by me after everything that happened, so

please, as a favor to me, reschedule the meeting. Yeah.

Do it.

I'll reach out.

And don't take too long, son.

Hey, just go.

Hey, check out my new organizing.

What's wrong?

I just got off the phone with HQ. They want me to go down there right away for

some meeting.

They didn't give specifics?

No.

The last time this happened was for an IED investigation.

Yeah, but Hopkins said that they're wiping that from the record, so it can't

that.

Can it?

Life has enough surprises.

I'd want to know. Yeah, well, Chloe does not.

She wants to find out right when the baby is born.

And do not repeat this to her.

But I kind of want a boy.

I got two of them. I know how to deal with them. And girls are scary.

Amen. Hey, scary. I got an announcement.

I'm getting remarried. Hey, I didn't even know you and Cindy broke up.

What? No.

Cindy is the one I'm remarrying.

I don't think that's the proper usage of remarry.

Oh, Herman, that is so sweet.

All right. Thank you. All right. So it has been six long months, and we are

finally ready to break ground. So we're going to have a little ceremony the day

before to celebrate, and then we're going to renew our vows. That's great,

When's a happy occasion? Well, that's the wrinkle. See, we got to pull this

thing together pretty quick. So it's not going to be fancy, just a soiree at

Molly's, and all you knuckleheads are invited, plus, you know, a bunch of

friends and neighbors.

I can help.

I mean, I organize the hell out of y 'all's promotion parties, right? I mean,

hey, the beer tower, remember?

Well, Cindy, you'll be thrilled to get the help, all right?

Because I'm not very good at this stuff.

All right.

Beer department, call out!

Lieutenant Kelly Severide, I was told to meet at this desk. Great.

He's waiting for you.

Have a seat.

This is for you, Kelly.

Nobody's mentioned your name or told me why they wanted me down here.

Yeah, well, as your former chief, I was brought in by Fire Rescue Division to

ask you to stay at 51, not take the OFI job.

Are you back with the CFD?

No. Not sure what the CFD has in store for me. But they wanted you here.

That's something.

Well, I'm here because I left you in a leadership position at 51.

Told you I believed you belonged there.

Your faith in me means a lot, Chief. I wouldn't consider going anywhere except

for OFI.

You know my history with arson, and you know my father's. I do.

And it doesn't change my opinion.

But no matter where you end up, Kelly, you'll be playing your part as a

Your promotion went through.

Congratulations.

Thank you, Chief.

Of course.

Let me know what you decide.

I'll be around.

Copy that.

Okay, so I was at a party recently and they had these hanging paper lanterns

they really set the mood.

If you don't like the construction idea, here's another one the year you were

married. The 90s, right? I mean, it's very on trend right now.

Oh, I like that. These are all great. And we can put the construction idea to

use. But in terms of theme, I already have one.

Gratitude.

Gratitude? Christopher has a tendency to forget how lucky we are and how many

people we owe thanks to for getting us where we are today.

You know what? I love this idea.

We can have everyone bring in photos of a friend or family member that they're

grateful for. We can have them hang it up and make a gratitude wall.

Perfect. Okay, but can we still do the glowing paper lanterns because they are

pretty sexy.

Absolutely. Hey, well, this sounds like a hell of a vow renewal.

If we can get it all together in 24 hours.

Right.

Okay.

Hey,

do we have to bring a gift to a vow renewal?

I think if you've got one for the wedding, it carries over.

Oh, well, that's convenient for you.

Oh, boy.

What? It's Atomic Publishing.

I sent them my book proposal for Brothers in Arms.

Well, what are you waiting for? Answer it.

This is Randall.

Oh, hi, Greg.

Well, that's good to hear. Said he's a fan of my writing.

Uh, oh.

Uh, okay.

Well, that's, uh, a little unexpected, but, uh...

I suppose I'd be open to the conversation.

Uh, sure. Uh, 3 p .m. works.

All right.

I'll see you then.

Well, what did he say?

Uh, he said they're interested in my book.

They want to talk about it in person.

Them brothers in arms is the go.

Uh, no.

Actually, uh, they want the first version.

The one without Herman in it.

And you wrote Herman in for a reason, didn't you? I did.

I got him invested in it, too. Said it'd be our legacy.

What are you going to do?

I don't know.

I mean, obviously I'd love to be published, but not if it's the wrong

So, when are you going to tell everyone that you made Captain?

I feel like I should wait to make the decision first.

Was it Pascal's words pushing towards Daniel 51?

He can be a persuasive guy.

Well, you said 51 is home.

Is that your opinion, sir?

Hey, no way. If I touch it, I'll break it. Trust me. Dude, come on. It's not

even on. Nope. Isaiah!

What are you doing here? Hey.

Hi. Lydia wanted to take a last -minute trip to Chicago for the weekend, so I

jumped on it.

Figured I could see you and some of the guys from school.

If that's cool with you guys. Yeah, of course. Yeah.

Is Lydia here?

No, she just dropped me off.

Yeah, I... Kind of drag and ride the truck to show off the controls.

Yeah. Thanks for the tour. You got it, bud.

So Lydia's staying at a friend's place.

Is it okay if I stay with you guys?

Of course. Yeah.

Come on.

Hey, babe.

Babe, you home?

You okay?

I don't know. I think something's wrong with the baby.

Okay, okay. Sit down, sit down.

What's wrong? What are you feeling?

taking so long. Hey, let's not get all... They're just doing their thing.

It's okay. I think the cramping's starting to go away.

Really? A little bit, maybe.

Yeah. You're gonna be fine.

Sorry to make you wait.

We got the ultrasound results, and it looks like the bleeding is most likely

to a small blood vessel getting irritated.

The thing is, with the extra placental tissue and increased blood flow during

pregnancy, even a minor irritation can cause spotting. Extra?

There is more than we'd expect to see, so much to the point that we were

concerned about something called placenta previa.

Right. But turns out there's a happier explanation.

The scan is showing two babies.

What? You're having twins.

And they both look perfectly healthy.

Congratulations.

Twins?

Twins.

Huh.

Yeah.

What?

I love you. I love you. This is wild. It's crazy.

They are fighting over him, and he has a big decision to make.

So you get to be the boss at 51 or the boss at 05.

Yeah, something like that.

That's pretty awesome.

I remember how cool it was watching you work on the Herman Haas investigation.

You were all over that.

So were you.

Captain Van Meter must be really proud of you.

Yeah, I think he is.

So are you calling us to the Herman ceremony or what?

Yeah, for sure.

Okay, if I drop this stuff off in my old room and call Julian to see if he's

around later? Of course.

Thank you. Of course.

Do you think it's a little strange that he didn't call us and let us know he was

coming?

Because I was just there a couple days ago.

Well, he said it was a last -minute trip, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, he did.

Well, I hope one of your suit jackets fits him.

Look, I appreciate that you like the first version of my book. I do. But

honestly, memoirs are a dime a dozen.

Brothers in Arms is different. It's about brotherhood, sacrifice, and the

bond that only two first responders can share. And I am telling you, you are not

going to get that anywhere else.

That was a very impassioned pitch.

Thank you.

But I have to be honest with you, I have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm just making a case for Brothers in Arms because you said you liked my first

manuscript more.

From Couch to Command?

That's not the manuscript I'm talking about.

Cyrus Mayberry.

That's your pen name, right?

Sheets on Fire?

I don't even remember when I sent this in.

Nine years ago.

It was the first galley that landed on my desk when I started here.

And I've never forgotten it.

Wow. Romance is very marketable right now.

Very. You give me something like this, I can sell it.

But we gotta strike while the iron is hot.

If they're made out of paper, then why are they so heavy? Go get that toy truck

from the backseat.

Do you think this is enough space for 50 photos?

Yeah, I think so.

When Will was little, he used to love stealing our Barbies and hide them. He

told me yesterday he was going to try to find a rehab Barbie to send Heidi off

with. But apparently they don't make those.

Oh, well, that's a mistake because there's a definite market for that.

That's a great photo of him.

Yeah.

Oh, grief is so strange.

I still miss him every day.

Sometimes I wake up thinking he's still here.

I get that.

You know, I'm not big on love life advice, but

do you have feelings for Vasquez?

You should do something about it.

Don't wait.

After I heard what went down with you and those paramedics, me and Ray got to

talking.

You reminded me just how close you were to graduating. You dropped out of the

academy.

Just a couple of weeks, wasn't it? Yes, sir. Yeah, two weeks to be exact.

What if I told you we're willing to let you pick up right where you left off?

Is that even... Are you saying that... I am.

You can jump in with the current class and be a sworn officer in less than a

month.

I mean... It's a generous offer, sir, but I'd have to... You don't have to

answer now.

Take a beat.

Talk it over with your father.

Sure. I know it would mean the world to him.

Sergeant!

Mind if this guy jumps in?

No, sir.

Go on, kid.

Have a run at it.

Let's see what you firefighters got.

You know the drill?

Yes, ma 'am.

The fire's got to be closed.

Hey, Max!

Keep moving!

Stay tight!

Hey, just fold it under like this.

Will it stay?

Uh, probably not.

But Stella has tape for stuff like this.

You know another thing about OFI?

What? You'd be in a job where you don't have to worry about dying every day.

That'd be good, right?

Hey.

So I just got off the phone with Lydia.

She's in Cleveland, and she had no idea that you were here. She thought you were

at your mom's.

Hey.

What's going on, bud?

I know it was stupid to just get on a bus without telling anybody, but... My

says she can't take care of me anymore.

She wants me to live with Lydia.

Oh, I say I'm sorry.

And I don't want to live with Lydia.

I want to be here.

With you.

So Lydia was just saying that his mom obviously wants to be in his life, but

with all her health issues, she just feels like she can barely even take care

herself.

I know she just wants to do right by you, bud.

And Lydia loves you.

I know.

And I don't want to hurt her feelings.

She's been really good to me.

But I was really happy when I was here.

Like at school?

And with you?

We would love to have you back.

But it's a decision that we have to make with your mom.

How about this? After next shift, we all take a trip to Cleveland, the three of

us, and we'll talk it out together.

In the meantime, how about we take a breather?

Go celebrate the Herman?

Okay.

Yeah.

Well, the guy's not wrong. She's not far with the grateful.

Well, it turns out they're willing to pay top dollar for romance these days.

Well, what does Trudy say about it? Oh, her exact words?

For that amount of money, tell them you'll write whatever smut they want.

The problem is, how's Herman going to feel?

Brothers in Arms was our story.

Well, if there's one thing we know Herman appreciates, it's a good deal.

understand.

Hey, Chief.

Good to see you. Thank you. Glad you could make it. Me too.

Looks like all of 51 turned out. Yeah, never underestimate the call of an open

bar. Speaking of... Coming right up. That turned out really well.

Wow,

look at that.

That looks good, too.

What are you drinking?

Mezcal Old Fashioned.

Mezcal? Really?

I don't know.

No, I'm an old -fashioned, old -fashioned kind of girl.

Old -fashioned? Okay.

How was your meeting with the deputy chief, by the way?

I was... No.

I don't know.

Truth?

It was kind of cool.

Yeah, I felt at home.

More than I expected to, which I guess makes sense.

You know, being a cop, that was...

That was a dream.

As far back as I can remember.

Damn, I'm sorry. It's kind of hard to think about all that with you standing

there in that dress.

Oh, you can stop looking at it like that. Why is that?

Is there a rule against having fun?

Truth?

Please.

This?

This would be more than just fun for me.

The roller coaster doesn't end for that poor kid.

You know how I feel.

It'd be great to have him back with us.

Yeah, same.

I'll admit, part of me was hoping that you would choose what you won.

But after everything Isaiah said about you and OFI, I don't know.

Maybe that is where you're supposed to be, Kelly.

especially if I think it comes back to stay with us.

Hey, listen up, everybody.

I just got off the phone with Cruz, and he's not going to be able to make the

ceremony.

Why? Yeah, well, he got a little detour at the docks because it turns out he and

Chloe, they're going to be proud parents of twin baby girls.

So on that note, we're going to get the vows started.

Cindy.

won't take long.

Christopher made it known that since it's an open bar, we have to keep the

short.

Cindy, Louise, Herman, you're a force of nature. You know that.

When you set your mind out to do something by God, you get it done.

And somehow, by the grace of God, you set your mind to being the

love of my life and the mother of our children.

And I am eternally grateful for that.

I am so far off course.

I'm never going to get back. All right. All right. All right.

I just want to say that force of yours, that's who you

are.

And that is the reason that we're going to get to rebuild our house where we

want it to do, right where it was.

And it's also the reason that no matter where we end up, we would

always be home.

I love you, Cindy Herman.

That's all I got.

You weren't supposed to make me cry. Oh, sorry.

Oh, boy.

Oh, boy.

Hey.

Come on.

Okay? Okay. Okay.

I love you, Christopher.

It's not easy to watch the person you love leave the house every day to put

their life on the line.

Even on the days you're a jerk.

The truth is, Christopher, you don't always make our lives easier.

But you always make them better.

Nobody cares more.

Love's harder.

Shouts louder when they don't get what they want.

And I am truly grateful for how much you feel and how much you make

us all feel.

Thank you, Christopher, for this beautiful, complicated,

rich life together.

Stop staring.

Thank you. Here's to the future.

A new house.

Thankfully, the same family.

All of you.

Cheers.

stable.

Got smoke pushing in from the back. No physical fire.

That's a weird third. The hell

was that?

Well, ibuprofen will do the trick.

You're a lifesaver. My back is killing me. You know, between the renewing and

the schmoozing, I don't think I got to sit down once.

Yeah, Cindy throws a hell of a party. Not a bad speech, either.

You know, to be honest, that speech last night really got me

thinking about the future.

Every time I clock in here, Cindy's got to worry. How much more of that am I

going to put her through?

Or the kids?

Are you saying what I think you're saying?

I'm not making any decisions here, but I've got enough stories to fill a whole

damn book.

Maybe that's enough.

You don't like me talking about this? No, it's not that. It's about the book.

Atomic's not going to publish Brothers in Arms.

They want me to write a romance novel instead.

Really? I know that that book was supposed to be our legacy, but they've

me a lot of money.

I don't think I can turn it down.

Well, why the hell would you turn it down? This is great news.

You're going to be a published author.

Well, I'm glad you feel that way. I was worried you'd be sore about Brothers in

Arms. What?

If they don't want it, that's on them.

I say you take the money that they're giving you and you publish it yourself,

all right? That way you get to keep all the profits.

You really do love a good deal. Just don't forget about my commission, all

right? I'm really counting on this to set us up for retirement.

Thanks for coming by, Chief.

So, did you make up your mind?

I have, yeah.

Why don't you come along? We'll talk after.

Mind if I join you?

I'm on a board.

Let's raise the arrow, bent the roof. Copy.

I'm the one who called 911. I saw smoke rising up past my window. You know

what's inside?

I think it's mostly used for storage, but people come and go. Is anyone else

inside right now?

I'm not sure.

They always keep the door closed.

We'll open it up.

You need an extra set of eyes.

You're out of here. I'm going in. Yeah, good, good.

Hey, move this way, please. Backwards safer. Thank you. Thank you.

Hey, folks!

If we have to do well, move to the far side where it's safer. Let's go.

So much for spring cleaning. All right, let's clear the lane.
