- Did you know Gibson was

a Golden Gloves
regional contender?

Then he just walked
away, became a firefighter.

- Wonder why he made the switch?

- You get so caught up in
these arson cases, it's like a drug.

If you go MIA on me again...

- It's not going to
happen with this case.

- Are you two wedding
planning without me?

- You won't believe some of
the connections that Tony has.

What are you planning
for the bachelorette party?

- The itinerary
isn't finalized yet,

but I can promise
you that this isn't going

to be your mother's
bachelorette party.

Oh, there's not enough
coffee in the world

to cure my hangover.

- It took two extra-cold
showers just to get me

to neutral this morning.

- Best bachelorette party ever.

And you totally
surprised me. I admit it.

- Well, I'm the perv who came
up with the pole dancing idea,

but the whiskey shot
blackjack was Stella's idea.

- Having second
thoughts about that one.

- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm.

- Yeah, how are you so
energized this morning?

- Hydrated at home.

I had a Zoom interview
with Portland FD before shift,

and I wanted to make sure
I put my best foot forward.

- Yeah. They'd be
crazy not to hire you.

- Well, I hope I hear back soon.

Matt and I need a
bigger house for the kids.

So it'd be nice to
have a job lined up.

And honestly, I can't
imagine life without this work.

- Oh.

While you were being
responsible last night,

I apparently drunk-texted Kelly.

Including some pics that
might be a little NSFW.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

I mean, he texted
back right away,

unlike the last ATF trip.

So the key is to
send dirty pics.

- Oh, I almost drunk-texted
Carver last night.

Thank God I didn't do that.

I'm trying to avoid
that whole situation.

When does Severide get back?

- He is supposed to
be home in two days.

So we'll see.

- He'll be here, Stella.

- Yeah. Totally.

- That's it, Mouch, one more.

I got...

Three more in me.

- Easy. Don't hurt yourself.

- Oh, you hear that, Mouch?

He doesn't think you can do it.

- Nice. Mm-hmm.

- Whew!

All right, what's next?

Quads? Delts?

- Hey.

Are we still on for
our walk-through

at the aquarium tomorrow night?

- Yep.

All set for 9:00 p.m.
- Perfect.

I don't know how I'm ever
going to repay you for this.

- Oh, please.

It's my gift to you.

- I'll admit it.

Tony really came through.

I'm impressed.

- Not only did he give us the
hook up at the Shedd Aquarium,

but the price is
a fraction of what

I thought it was going to be.

- Amazing.

Maybe we're all just
pawns in Tony's secret life

where he wields a
massive amount of power.

- It's the only thing
that makes sense.

- Yeah.

- Hey.

You know what your
generation doesn't get, Ritter?

- I have a feeling
you're going to tell me.

- The importance of local TV.

- Importance?

- Yeah, you bet.

See, I'm watching a
Chicago morning show.

And they just had a story
about this mailman that

takes his packages all
the way to the front door

if it's raining or
snowing, you know.

Just to protect the
packages, right?

You're not going

- No, you are not.

- And then there's
another story about a lady.

She had... she

- Sorry, Cruz.
That's a tough break.

- It's going to be a

Javi's about to go to college.

- Uh, in eight years.

- Exactly.

- Come on, is this really
the end of the Slamigan?

Yes.

Unless I can think of
a way to boost sales.

The problem is most

any repeat business.

They're too well made.

That's what the rep actually

Too well made.

electrical transference?

- Yes, we followed
standard protocol.

- When you fired
your defibrillator,

you said there was no
connection between the machine

and the patient.

How do you explain
the discrepancy

between your account
and the onboard report?

- I can't.

- Well, when we get
the full diagnostic,

I'm sure we'll find out
that there was something

wrong with the machine.

- I doubt that will be of
any relief to the victim.

- I know.

- Portland FD reached
out to me earlier this week

for a recommendation.

I understand you're

for a position there.

Sorry.

I was just...

Actually, that's why I'm here.

I heard you spent
the whole night

in the hospital waiting room.

You're worried about Jared, huh?

- I don't know.

- We understand he's
doing better, though, right?

- They think he's got a
decent shot at a full recovery.

- Oh, thank God.

- Feeling responsible
for another person's life,

it's a heavy load
to put on yourself.

Not easy to shake either.

Believe me, I know that feeling.

It's like two giant hands

squeezing your rib cage so
tight you can barely breathe.

It ain't on you, Marcus.

What happened to
that boy is not your fault.

Nobody ends up in the
ICU after a collision like that

unless they have other
health issues going on.

Look, hearing that from me

won't do a damn thing to
loosen that grip on your chest.

Saying it's not your
fault, that's just words.

Words don't change anything.

Action changes things.

You could take
what you're feeling

and turn it into something good.

Now, if you can figure
out a way to do that...

You start to feel
real different.

I promise you.

The box of defib
pads that we got were

part of a batch sent to
the CFD over the summer.

- The hottest summer
on record in Chicago.

- However they were
stored didn't account

for the extreme heat.

- If any others like this found
their way into our rotation...

- That'd be a disaster.
- To put it mildly.

out not to be user error.

But we have to
cover all the bases,

make sure none

- What about Sylvie's
recommendation to Portland?

- It'll reflect that
she's a paramedic

in good standing with the CFD.

- And that she probably
saved a lot of lives.

- Thank you, Chief. I
think we should head out.

- Mm-hmm. Yeah.

I appreciate your
loyalty to your partner.

good news, isn't it?

They're going
to keep selling it.

Slamigan lives.

- That heat-resistant
paint is going to add 30%

Oh.

Oh, yeah.

College is overrated.

Besides, Javi is so smart,

he'll probably get a full

Oh, yeah.

I've used it three

Thankfully, as part owner

affected by the heat.
