Lieutenant Wendy Seager,

to you about the fire

all I've done today

is answer questions
from the police,

from the insurance company,

why I can't deal
with work right now so.

- We'll try

We're just trying
to get the full picture

of all the events
leading up to the fire.

- All I can tell you is that
when I left for my 10:00 a.m.

doctor's appointment,
everything was fine.

And then when I got back
an hour later,

my house and everything
I own was on fire.

- Julia was still there
when you left?

- We heard you two got into
a fight this morning.

What was that about?

- What it's always about,
money.

I've been taking care of her
since she was 13.

So now it's time that she
starts pulling her own weight.

- You two don't get along?

- It's complicated.

I mean, she was still young

when our mom died
in a car accident.

And then all of a sudden
big sister's calling the shots.

That's pretty heavy stuff
for a kid.

She started acting out

and she was in
and out of trouble.

But things started
to get better last year.

- How so?

- She chilled out a bit,

got her grades up
and managed to graduate.

She even started
looking for a job.

I really thought
she was turning it all around.

- Do you think Julia might've
actually started this fire?

- I don't wanna think that,
but--

.

- Julia Davis called 911
at 10:41 this morning

to report the fire.

We're just trying to see

if anyone saw her returning
home around that time.

- I wasn't around this morning,
but whatever she told you,

take it
with a big old grain of salt.

That girl's been trouble
her whole life.

- Okay, thanks for your time.

- Help me understand, Severide.

I mean, her own sister
thinks she's guilty,

but we're freezing
our butts off

trying to find someone
to corroborate the timeline?

- You can go back to the office
if you want.

- Okay, I'm just saying this
girl's kicked holes in walls.

I mean, she threw

a brick through
her sister's windshield once.

- So what?

You're--you're just doing
what everybody else is doing

and judging her
for things she did in the past

but people can change.
I did.

You know,
I was a nightmare in my teens.

I mean, the Julia that I met
this morning at the fire

clearly loves her sister.

She was a mess at the thought
of her in danger.

I think she deserves better
than to be boiled down

to a rap sheet
of her past offenses.

the arson case is a tough one.

I have watched you work so hard
for that Lieutenant position.

Put all you had into it
and kick ass.

And I know how important Girls
on Fire is to you,

but the truth is
I can take over

a lot of
that organizational stuff

and even run the sessions.

- You're great.
- So I was thinking...

What's so awesome
about Girls on Fire

is that it makes girls like me
and Macy

from all over the city
feel like becoming

a firefighter
could really happen.

But just becoming one
isn't the only goal.

Moving up, working to become
a leader, that's the dream.

And that's what makes you
so inspiring.

That you're capable
of all that.

Of becoming a Lieutenant.

So why wait to show it?

- Hey.

- I don't think
your assistant likes me.

- She doesn't like anyone.

- I told her we had a meeting
off the books

and she frowned.

But she let me in so.

- You are lucky.

Others have perished trying.

- Well, I have decided not
to let the frowning bother me.

Hers or anyone else's.

So call me
when you're done here.

And we'll make some of
that good kind of trouble.

- Thanks for pitching in
on the paperwork. For once.

- Well, don't get used to it.
It's just my way of

thanking you
for taking this flyer with me.

- My pleasure.

I'm happy to follow your gut
instinct wherever it leads us.

- I'll see you around, Seager.

- See you around, Severide.

- Julia!
- [laughs]

Thank you so much.
