ALL CHEERING

He's gonna lose his arm if we don't do a fasciotomy.

We're not trained for that. FOSTER: lam.

Who was the trauma surgeon who performed the fasciotomy out in the field?

You missed your calling. That was nice work.

| can't give that child what she deserves.

BRETT: Scott, she deserves a father who loves her.

she needs you.

Are you here for Girls on Fire?

What's your name? Kylie.

| Know how awesome this program can be.

|, uh, brought a few friends.

Let's have some fun.

This is Bert. He went down from smoke inhalation

and the flames are moving in fast.

Now, you don't get a choice in who you get to rescue,

and Bert weighs 160 pounds.

So, what we're gonna do, get behind him,

wrap your webbing like this, use your legs, lift and pull.

BRETT: Each call poses a different challenge,

and whether it's a skinned knee or a gunshot wound,

we have two responsibilities.

Keep the blood in, keep the infection out.

So, what we do is

take our best friend,

a roll of gauze

and we're gonna wrap the arm...

You take the heel of your hand

and you place it in the center of the chest.

Interlock your fingers like that and...

Good, Kylie. Yes, use your legs.

CELL PHONE CHIMING Oh.

All right, everybody gather up, gather up.

Well... Wow!

Well, that hour went by very fast.

But great work, everybody. God, I'm very proud of you.

Some real badasses in this group.

Absolutely. Truly.

You know, you get told a lot

in high school

what you can't do,

and you get it from all sides.

You get it from your teachers, your classmates.

But not here.

In this program, you are gonna get told over and over what you can do,

because EXHALES | just saw what you can do.

So, don't let anyone, and | mean anyone,

ever stand between you and the goals that you set for yourself.

All right? You hear me?

All right.

Okay. Great class, everybody.

LAUGHS There he is. How was the Peninsula?

Oh, perfect. | saw your furlough request for June.

Yeah, | was hoping that maybe... Approved.

Thank you, man. I'm gonna take Chloe...

|! mean, | am going to take my wife

to the Dominican on areal honeymoon.

she's gonna love that.

Ugh... What's this?

Ding-a-ling-ding. It's 51's original bell.

I'm gonna get it shining again. No. Not here.

Hey, man, some kind of gas.

Thank you. Engine, drop a line for decon.

One of our guys, KaDaryl, he's still in there.

Let's get you to the paramedic.

CASEY: Looks like chlorine gas, Chief.

Smells like it, too.

Battalion 25 to Main, we need a level-one hazmat,

additional ambulance response.

Chlorine gas, multiple victims. Squad 3, suit up.

Find the source of the leak and anyone else who's still in there.

All right, Capp, Cruz, Tony, we got chlorine gas.

Let's go suit up. We're gonna need putty and plugs.

CAPP: Copy that.

Okay, establish a perimeter 50 yards back,

and let's pray that the wind doesn't pick up.

You got it, Chief. Everyone, we need to move back 50 yards.

Tony, Kidd, move the rigs. TONY: Copy.

Gallo. Copy.

Let's cordon off the block and evacuate the neighbors.

We're coming out with him now. FOSTER OVER RADIO: Copy that.

DEVICE BEEPING RAPIDLY

Hey, Chief, we found the leak.

Looks like the tank was pinched while it was being scrapped.

Hey, Capp, you can probably plug this. Copy.

There's something's dripping into the tank,

Causing a chemical reaction. It's building pressure fast.

WHISTLING, METAL CREAKING

Capp, hit the deck! It's gonna...

Brett. He's having trouble breathing.

BRETT: I'll get the CPAP on him with nebulized albuterol.

FOSTER: Okay.

Hey. He took in some gas. COUGHING

I'm fine. | just need a minute. You don't look fine.

Hey! So you have no clue how a tank full of chlorine ended up in your yard?

| was in the trailer. Look, people drop off stuff here all the time.

Cars, oil drums, washing machines, Winnebagos.

And you don't check what's inside? Sure we do. Of course.

But sometimes, things Slip through the cracks.

It's almost always harmless junk. "Almost always."

Hey, hazmat's here.

BODEN Hey. Come on. Let's go! Back it in here.

COUGHING

How many regulations you think that place was violating?

Tank full of chlorine

should've never made it into that yard.

Shady companies pay cash to have these things taken off their hands.

Giving us a face full of it.

I'm gonna go back there after shift,

have a talk with that manager.

Casey, go with him. Make sure he doesn't do anything more than talk.

Any word on Capp?

Uh, no. We were out of the ED before 99 arrived.

Okay. I'll call Med, get an update. CASEY: Thanks.

Hey. Just the person | was looking for. Do you have a second?

Yeah. Of course. What's on your mind? Okay.

Um... CLEARS THROAT

| need your advice,

and | need you to give it to me straight.

Do | ever hold back?

No, you don't.

Which is why | wanted to tell you...

| have a meeting on the books

WHISPERING with the admissions committee at Northwestern.

Wait. Start over.

| want to go back to med school.

Wow.

It's Just a meeting,

but, yeah, it's something I've been...

I've had on my mind for a while.

That's great.

But thing Is,

that was before everything happened with Brett's birth mom dying,

and then, you know, Cruz moving out.

What kind of friend would | be if | were to abandon her

in the middle of all that?

Right?

Look, | can't tell you what to do here, but what | can tell you

is that you shouldnt be talking to me.

You should be talking to Brett.

So, just dump this in her lap on top of everything she's gone through?

No. No, thank you.

She's your partner, your roomie and one of your best friends.

Talk to her.

You told me to give it to you straight. I'm giving it to you straight.

All right? All right.

What's up with you and Violet?

SIGHS IN EXASPERATION

| told her that we should keep it casual, see other people,

and she took it the wrong way.

Yeah. There's a right way?

We just started going out, you know? There's a... What do you call it? Uh...

A grace period. | don't think that's a thing.

What do you mean? Excuse me. I'm looking for Sylvie Brett.

Hey, Scott. How are you, Sylvie?

Most importantly, how is this little girl?

Amelia. It was Julie's middle name.

| didn't know if | should pick it,

but | looked at her and then it just kinda felt right.

Aw, it's beautiful.

| just want to thank you sO much.

It's an understatement to say you changed my life.

And now that I've gotten more than four hours of sleep, | can see that. Clearly.

Now for the tough news.

We are moving back to Rockford.

We hadn't sold our house there yet, and my office is letting me transfer back.

Truth is, on just one income, |! wouldn't be able to afford Chicago.

No, | get it. | completely understand.

But look, you are her sister, forever and always,

and | want you in Amelia's life.

Of course. I'm only a few hours away. I'll visit whenever I can.

Good.

So, Chief, | went through the logs,

and there's been three calls to that same scrap yard in the last six months.

That place is a liability.

Well, this incident has put them on OSHA's radar.

They're investigating now.

Good. Any idea when Capp's back?

No. | called Med. He's not in their system.

What do you mean? He hasn't been admitted yet?

No idea. I'm waiting for a call back

from someone who knows what the hell is going on.

Do you mind if | go over there and see for myself?

Go. Do it.

Truck will roll out with you. All right.

Fellas. You here for Capp?

Yeah. Sent him to get his eyes checked out, haven't heard from him since.

He left. Refused treatment. What?

His eyes are showing serious signs of trauma.

| recommended he stay the night under observation.

As soon as | turned my back, he was gone. Are you kidding me?

I'm gonna have to submit a report to CFD.

Okay, let's hold off on that.

You know | can't. He came in ona medical.

Hey, this isn't like Capp.

Can you just give us a day to figure out what's going on here?

Fine. One day.

Hey, how's Capp doing? Don't know, but | might have to kill him.

He skipped out against doctor's orders. You didn't try to call him?

SEVERIDE: Yeah. He isn't picking up.

Kylie. Hey. What's going on?

You mentioned a firefighter manual in class?

Yeah. | looked online but | couldn't find it.

Oh. | have a paper copy.

| was hoping maybe | could borrow it.

Yeah. Of course. Yeah. Come on.

BOTH CHUCKLE

Here you go. And keep it as long as you want.

Yeah. Thanks.

I'm really gonna miss Girls on Fire when it's over.

Oh. No, we're keeping it going through the summer.

Sure. Thanks for this.

TRUCK DOOR CLOSES

Hey, Lieutenant, we're good to go on this side.

You want us to start on the driver's side?

No. Let's go for a ride.

We gonna swing by Capp's place?

Nah. We're going back to that scrap yard.

Whoa. Thought we were doing that after shift.

Why wait?

Don't let him do anything stupid.

Hey. You the manager? Owner.

We were here this morning. Uh-huh. Yeah.

Just wondering how much you're getting paid under the table

to dump hazardous materials.

Hey. | can't personally check every piece of metal that comes through here.

| thought that was your job.

| got a whopper of a fine from OSHA. What more do you want?

One of my men might lose his eyesight.

Hey, some of my people got hurt, too.

That's on you. Hey! I'd like you off my property right now.

Okay. All right. Hey. Come on. We're already a man down.

He's not worth it.

Hey.

Gotasec?

Yeah. | just keep rereading the same page over and over again anyway.

Are you okay?

Yeah. | mean... Scott came by with the baby.

Amelia is her name. Aw.

That's pretty. How is she?

she looks amazing. A happy, healthy little girl.

But they are moving back to Rockford.

Oh, damn.

| just had this idea that | would get to see her all the time.

You know, swing by and take her to the park,

bring her to our place for playdates.

Just watch her get bigger, you know?

Mmm-hmm. Well, Rockford isn't that far. No. | know.

And I'll make it work,

but | am not gonna let someone else | care about out of my life, you know?

Hey. We should road trip together sometime.

Wait till you see this baby. She's really something.

| bet.

Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.

You asked me if | had a sec and | went into a spiral. What's up?

ALARM BLARING

Oh, perfect. Thank you.

Thanks.

This will dissolve the bond. Okay?

Okay. Almost, almost, almost. Easy.

Okay.

BREATHING HEAVILY We're still gonna want to take you in,

VMimm-hmm. make sure you didn't ingest any of the glue. Okay?

Thank you.

There was some glue on her teeth,

but that's about it. She'll be just fine.

That's good news.

Oh, hey. My friend at Northwestern admissions says you reapplied.

Yeah, | did.

That's great. | was telling her how impressed | was by you.

Oh. Thank you.

Yeah. Good luck. And keep me posted. Mmm.

You reapplied to med school?

| wanted to tell you. | started to,

but first, | just wanted to know if it was even a possibility.

Well, it sounds like it is a possibility, Foster.

| have a meeting Wednesday with admissions.

First, | just... | wanted to...

You and me, | think we should talk about it.

Why? Seems like you've already made up your mind.

EXCLAIMS Hands off, Boswell.

Come on, Cruz. | already got three kids at home to clean up after.

It's 7:59, all right?

Don't gripe about the state of the Squad table until it's your shift.

WATCH BEEPING

Ah. See? All yours.

You missed a whole section over here.

INDISTINCT

Oh. Go, talk to her.

Yeah, you just standing here staring at her is a little creepy.

Okay, I'm not staring.

Be right back.

Hey.

SO, is it just me or are things a little tense between us?

Why would they be tense?

You know, the whole seeing other people thing.

| got the idea you weren't too thrilled with it.

Are you kidding? | love it.

| was thinking the same thing before you even said anything.

Really? 100%.

CELL PHONE VIBRATING In fact, I'm actually heading to a Sox game

to meet a date right now.

Cool. Yeah.

Very cool. Yeah, should be a great game.

see you soon? Sure. Yeah.

see you guys later.

lam so confused.

| Know | would like to hear more.

Okay, so, right from the jump,

Violet tells me she doesn't date firefighters.

SO, | was like, "Okay, cool by me. Let's keep it casual."

But then, at some point, the rules changed.

So, | put it out there, like, "Hey, we're seeing other people, right?"

And she liked the idea.

she was thrilled by it, even, but she's still icing me out.

Uh, general rule of thumb, SIGHS you are in a war you cannot win.

CHUCKLES So, best to raise the white flag

and learn the phrase,

"Yes, dear. Whatever you say, dear."

But that sounds... Ridiculous. And | agree.

You gotta be firm. Say what you mean, mean what you Say.

It's the only way to get respect.

I'm not sure, uh, Cindy would agree with you. CRUZ CHUCKLING

Okay, look. Do you wanna know what solves all problems?

Getting married.

It's like all those little things that you thought

were such a big deal while you were dating,

they just evaporate like ocean mist.

says the guy who has been married for a week.

A week of bliss.

When's the last time you were over here?

Can't remember. What do we do if he doesn't answer?

| got a Halligan in the trunk.

| ever tell you the first time | met Capp?

CHUCKLES

We get a fire call to this big apartment complex.

The whole place is cooking and there's this woman stuck behind a door

that | couldn't open for the life of me.

| mean, | tried mule kicking it, prying the hinges,

but couldn't get the damn thing to budge.

Then | feel this firefighter from another truck next to me,

so | scream at him, "Go get a sledgehammer."

He heads away for about five steps, then turns back, runs,

and flies through the air like the Karate Kid, CHUCKLES

and his foot goes right through the damn door.

And now he's stuck... CHUCKLES

...out | can reach through the hole he made and finally unlock the door.

BOTH LAUGH

Only Capp. Yeah.

Only Capp.

Capp?

Hey, guys.

What the hell are you doing?

They said | need to rest my eyes.

They said stay under hospital supervision.

You need to go back and see Dr. Halstead,

or he's reporting you to the CFD.

I'm already feeling better.

Got any beer in the fridge at least? | think so.

"Il go check.

You still look like hell.

SO do you. CHUCKLES SOFTLY

All right. So, this morning,

we are gonna learn how to turn a ladder into an emergency bridge.

All right, so, Dora, Yvette, divide the girls into two groups.

Get these two garbage cans and bring them

to the middle of the room right here, right here.

All right? YVETTE: Christina, Jada.

Yvette.

Where's Kylie? | haven't seen her.

Okay.

Lieutenant Severide, Bob Rezick.

Yeah. Sorry to bother you. | Know you're busy.

Just when you think you're catching up, a worker falls three stories

at a construction site, breaks both his legs.

I'm on my way over there now. Well, then I'll make this quick.

| was told you were assigned the chlorine leak

at Q&M Metal Recycling on West Fulton.

| was, yes. And you gave them a fine?

Three fines, actually. Still...

We're also assigning them mandatory training

for the handling of hazardous materials.

Yeah. Which we both know they won't do.

Then that's another fine. It's not enough.

SIGHS It's the best | can do. Precedent.

One of my men got hurt on that call.

Took in a face full of chlorine. He's still not seeing clearly.

Like | said... | Know what you said, and so you know,

| could've called and left a message instead of driving all the way down here

to see you in person, but | wanted to look you in the eye

and ask that you don't treat this case like another manila folder.

Treat it like there's a human being whose life and career

was put at risk because of guys that pay a few fines

then keep right on doing what they're doing.

That's all | ask.

What'd the guy say? He'd look into it.

That's it? That's it.

Well, you did the right thing.

| want to go back to the scrap yard and do the wrong thing.

Hey, let me ask you. | got this girl,

she was one of the initial sign-ups on Girls on Fire,

and she's real enthusiastic.

| mean, she came to the firehouse and borrowed

Okay. the firefighter manual and everything.

Okay, so she wasn't in class this morning, and, uh, | got this weird feeling.

Do you have her number? | think so. On the application. Yeah.

Give hera call.

Yeah? That's not too invasive?

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I'll do that.

| texted her and she didn't text back.

50, bring someone else. | don't want to bring someone else.

| thought that was the... Oh, you know what?

You're frustrating.

RITTER: I'm just saying because you keep going back and forth with Violet...

Okay, everyone. Until Capp returns,

we will have a floater filling in.

Everyone, please welcome Wes Derengowski to 51.

| want to stop by that scrap yard on the way back.

scrap yard? Why we going back there? We already talked to that guy.

Not going there to talk.

Damn. Looks like they got more than a fine.

Huh.

All right, let's head back to 51.

Hey. Dr. Halstead said Capp's going in for some tests tomorrow.

Yeah, | heard.

Did you talk to him? Boden told me.

How's Severide?

You know how it Is.

You work that close with someone,

you feel their pain like it's your own.

VIOLET CLEARS THROAT

Violet. | didn't realize... We need to talk.

Sure. Yeah.

VMimm.

Let's go in there. Okay.

What's up?

You've texted me five times in the last 24 hours.

Yeah. You didn't text me back, and | was wondering what was up.

What's up is that we aren't in a serious relationship.

Which means sometimes we might go a little while without texting or talking,

and there's no reason to freak out.

I'm not freaked out. The last text asked if | was dead.

That's an expression. | didn't actually mean...

Gallo... Blake!

What?

| think it's weird that you call me by my last name.

Especially considering the amount of times...

I've always done that. Why is it suddenly weird?

Okay, fine. Blake.

What's going on with you?

The other day, when you said that you were going out

to the Sox game with another guy...

Yeah? | just...

Yeah. You didn't like it?

You're the one that said we should see other people.

No, | Know... It's just...

Honestly, | didn't think you actually would.

So, you figured you would see other people, and | would...

What? Just sit at home mooning after you? No, that's not it at all.

Gallo, you are the most arrogant, difficult...

Maybe we should be exclusive.

Maybe we should break up. Maybe we should get married.

You are out of your mind.

Married?

Maybe we should get married"?

Yeah, what?

He told me to.

Hey.

Hey, Kylie.

Uh, this is Stella Kidd from Girls on Fire.

The kind of paramedic who knows how to put the patient first,

and handle whatever is required on the other end of a 911 call.
