- Chief Hopkins.

Pascal suggested I use his office.

- This is a chief's office, Lieutenant.

I get the feeling you don't think

you have to follow the rules.

Your wife is usually on the same shift as you, isn't she?

- You worked under my father.

I'm telling you, you got any beef with Benny,

it has nothing to do with me.

- I'm gonna stay here at 51 and get rid of the nepotism.

- I understand if this means there's no place for me here.

- There was never a place for you

without the battalion chief here.

Now that I'm staying, you'll be working for me,

not for 51.

- It was a one-time deal.

Anything more than that, it gets complicated.

- That cutie must be the one you have a thing for.

- I know you said your thing for him is just a crush,

but is it possible that, you know, maybe it's more?

- Keeping secrets, even if the intentions are good,

people can get hurt.

- Hey. - Hey, sorry I'm late.

It took me forever to find the right outfit,

but I think I nailed it.

- Mm-hmm, sure did.

- This was a great idea.

As much as I love Molly's,

sometimes a girl needs an espresso martini or five.

- I--I actually need to tell you something.

I should have told you this sooner,

but, um, I'm just gonna get it out right now,

in case you get so mad at me, you don't wanna

talk to me again. - What?

That would never happen.

- A couple months ago,

after my whole Sam spiral, um,

I slept with Vasquez.

I thought that you and Frost were a couple.

And I had no idea that you had a crush on Vasquez,

or I never would have done it.

I--I live by the girl code.

And you mean so much to me.

I'm so sorry I didn't say anything sooner.

And just for the record, like,

there's nothing going on between us anymore.

It was just a one night thing.

- Vi, it is okay.

Like you said, I was with Dr. John Frost,

and you were a free woman.

I mean, yeah, you could have told me sooner, but--

- Yeah. - I get it.

- Okay. [laughs]

Thank you for being so cool about this.

Espresso martinis on me all night.

- I will take you up on that.

Hi, two espresso martinis, please.

- Coming right up.

- Okay, we have much more important things to discuss,

like we get to meet the new chief tomorrow,

and he sounds pretty tricky.

- Cruz said things got pretty tense between

Severide and Chief Hopkins.

- Yeah.

So it sounds like the chief had some personal beef with Benny

from back in the day

and was holding it against Kelly.

- Do we know what it was?

- No clue.

But it's probably a good thing that Kelly's

going to the captain's training for a couple of weeks.

It might give him a chance to cool off

because he was on the warpath.

- Well, if this chief thinks he's gonna get

between Severide and 51, he's out of his mind.

- No kidding.

- Hey, the thing is, Kelly gave me strict orders

not to tangle with Chief Hopkins,

just to stay above the fray.

- You think you can pull that off?

- I'm gonna do my damnedest.

[door clicks]

- Morning, Lieutenant.

- Morning.

Is he treating you okay so far?

- For sure.

In fact, if it weren't for him, I might not still have my job.

He took care of it.

- Okay, that's good to hear.

Well, I guess I better get in there

and introduce myself, huh?

All right.

Chief Hopkins, hi.

Stella Kidd.

It's good to meet you.

- Right, Lieutenant Severide's wife.

about you from the brass, Lieutenant.

Well, about the phone call, at least.

Because hearing her talk,

that definitely wasn't her voice on the phone.

[indistinct radio chatter]

- That's where it started. - Mm-hmm.

Based on the burn patterns, this sink was the origin point,

which is an unusual place for a fire to start.

- Do we have an exact cause?

- There was no trace of solid fuel in the basin,

which means it was probably a flammable liquid,

maybe a high concentration alcohol cleaner.

Pour enough of it down the drain,

the fumes could be highly explosive.

But that also would have made it dangerous to ignite

without a timing device.

- And I take it we don't have any evidence of one?

- Mm-mm.

- What about hot water heater?

Could the pilot light have ignited the alcohol fumes?

- It's certainly possible,

but I can't see an arsonist relying

on an unpredictable ignition source like that.

They don't tend to leave things to chance.

So either the fire ignited some other way or--

- It was an accident?

- Captain, check this out.

[tense music]

- Damn. - What?

- See all the charring on the inside of this pipe?

- Mm-hmm. What does it mean?

- The fire had to be about 2,000 degrees to cause this,

which almost certainly means the fire was the result

of a chemical reaction.

If two reactive chemicals were dumped down this drain together,

they'd have mixed in the trap.

Depending on the exact chemicals,

it could have been minutes or hours, but eventually--

- That's a major violation in chemical handling procedure.

We actually just shut down a dialysis clinic

for something similar last year.

He comes to me a few months back,

- Because we take too much business from Helix

Tried to buy us out first.

Hell, they already gobbled up half the independent clinics

in Chicago.

But Gateway wouldn't sell, so getting us shut down

himself and now he's concocting the story to duck the blame?

- Well, we don't know, I guess.

But if that is what happened, then why would his wife call

and raise suspicions about the cause of the fire

in the first place?

Doesn't make sense. - And we did some digging.

Everything he said about Helix is true.

They've been aggressively buying up

smaller competitors for years.

I found a write-up in the "Trib" from last October

where the owner of a small neighborhood urgent care

accused Helix of trying to bully

and harass her into selling.

- Even if it's true, you still can't accuse

a giant company like Helix of a crime

without something concrete.

And right now, you don't have it.

- We should have lab results from the scene any minute now.

I'm hoping once we know the exact chemicals that were used

and who had access to them,

that'll help us tighten the net.

- Maybe.

But if I'm Helix's lawyer--

and you can bet your ass they got an army of them--

I'd point you right back to the negligence complaints

that Lieutenant Kidd said Gateway was being accused of.

Without a smoking gun,

that's still the likeliest explanation.

there is actually only one person who has ever said

you're the only one who had access besides the janitor.

- That's insane. I would never--

- There's no way that you were trying

to hurt anybody, Elizabeth.

I saw the way that you handled yourself in the fire.

You risked your life to get your patient out.

You protected her.

- I did not go in the storage room yesterday.

That's all I have to say about this.

- We got techs scouring it right now.

They're going to find more evidence

that puts you in that room.

We know there was an OSHA inspection

scheduled for this Friday.

I think it reasonable to assume you

only intended to sabotage that inspection, not cause a fire.

And we're willing to help you make that case,

but only if you come clean and agree to testify

against whoever put you up to this.

They're the ones we're after.

- Do you really think these are the kind of people

who will protect you?

- If Lieutenant Severide is the one who taught you everything

you know about arson investigations,

he must be pretty damn good at it.

- He is.

- You have a very impressive team here at 51, Lieutenant.

I'm glad to be a part of it.

- That is correct. [cheering]

All right, final question. Round three.

A little Chicago trivia for you.

Which famous American Patriot

is honored with a monument at Lincoln Park?

Win Diesel. - Abraham Lincoln.

- Ooh, sorry. That's incorrect.

- What? It's literally called Lincoln Park.

- Lone Wolves.

- The monument at Lincoln Park

is Union General Ulysses S. Grant.

- That is correct.

And another round goes to the Lone Wolves.

[groaning]

All right, players, stretch your legs, grab a drink.

Final round starts in 10.

- The Inquizitor is wrong.

I know there's a Lincoln Monument.

- Well, there is,

but the Lincoln Monument is at Grant Park.

And Grant's monument is at Lincoln Park.

- Tony, that is a truly useless piece of information.

- [laughs] Tell it to the scoreboard.

- Would you judge me if I said I'm not used to losing?

Hey, I'm just keeping it real. - This game is totally rigged.

The Inquizitor didn't ask a single question

about "Dance Moms" or Sabrina Carpenter.

My genius is completely untapped.

- Nothing sadder than wasted potential.

- Yeah, you see this?

I've been driven to drink.

- You want a refill?

- Mmm, no, that's enough for me.

One more and I start making mistakes.

- What's wrong with that?

You know, you were right, by the way.

It's a great wrap. Yeah, no unraveling.

- Well, it's Violet's hack,

so you should thank her, not me.

It's just...

it's too bad you guys hooked up

because she's my best friend, so that's that.

But you and me, we could have had

a really good time together.

- Hey, girl. How's it going?

- Not great.

- Hey. Uh-oh.

Take it you're not on the leaderboard?

- Well, at least we got a huge crowd to come out, you know?

And that's all that I really care about.

- Is it?

- Hell, no. I came to win.

I heard that your investigation panned out, though.

- Yeah, yeah, I guess it did.

- And did you tell Severide about your pinch-hit home run?

Because I'm thinking that he's beaming with pride.

- Yeah, he really was.

But to be honest, it doesn't really feel like a win.

Like, I'm glad Helix is gonna have to answer

for what they did, but Elizabeth...

- That's a head scratcher.

- She is a great nurse.

She obviously cares about her patients.

She still wasn't able to make ends meet.

That's messed up, isn't it? - Eh, mm-hmm.

- Not that it's not an excuse for what she did,

but she obviously had to have been struggling

pretty damn hard to have been willing to go along with

Helix's scheme, you know,

just to put a few bucks in her pocket.

- Well, I will bet that she was earning

more money than that janitor was,

and he said no.

Man, look, I don't know.

You know, some people, they manage to live by a code.

And other people, not so much.

- Hmm, yeah.

Yeah, well,

at least I got some solid one-on-one time

with Hopkins over it.

Yeah, I think I softened him up a little bit.

- So you turned on the ol' Stella Kidd charm?

- Mm-hmm. Something like that.

Yeah. - [chuckles]

- I just hope, I don't know,

he'll ease up on Kelly a little bit now, you know?

And then maybe they will actually

figure out a way to work together.

- Yeah.

From your mouth to God's ears.

- Here's hoping. - Yeah.

- You're here bright and early again.

- I told you, I am all-in on this job.

I'm just grateful to be here.

- I'm glad to hear you say that because

there's something I need you to do.

- Mm-hmm.

- This needs to go over to the CFD front office.

- Of course, Chief, yeah. Which department?

- Internal Affairs.
