In tonight’s Chicago Fire episode, Brett is moving on. She and Casey decided to date long-distance. But she couldn’t live her life waiting for his return and so she chose to carry on with her life. She put her clothes back into the drawers that had been cleared for him. She also went to work like normal. She and the others were called to the scene of a basketball game that went awry.
The hoop came down on a young man and it was crushing him. It had even impaled him because he started to bleed from the wound. There was just something strange about the case, though. The emergency services had sent two fire engines to deal with it and then a third engine with metal cutters. It was odd. It was like someone inexperienced with emergency services were sending out first responders and they were making crucial mistakes.
Brett noticed it. She deiced to reach out to dispatch and only then did she notice that she left her phone. She didn’t know where she left it, but she couldn’t find it and she had been waiting on a message and so she tried looking for and then something came up first. The whole station was informed that hackers took over dispatch. The entire 911 call center is down. The incoming calls couldn’t be trusted. Firehouse 51 was in the dark like everyone else and they were in a better position because they were being led by Boden. Boden had already signed off on Severide assisting the arson investigation into the fire at the catholic church and now this. He was lucky that he had guys nicknamed “BG”.
“BG” stood for before Google. It meant Hermann and Mouch. Brett gave their names to her friend in dispatch and together they figured out a system to get help to the right people. They also enlisted everyone else in the station and they made sure that millennials were the ones righting everything by hand to keep a log. They were doing this as Severide was running down suspects for the arson.
Severide and another firefighter questioned Father Anthony. The priest didn’t seem surprise when they told him it was arson and so they correctly guessed that whoever started the fire had also confessed their sin to Father Anthony. The priest couldn’t break the seal of confession. The only thing he could do was lead them in the right direction. He told them to speak to Sister Montaclair.
They found the sister. She works at a high school and they asked her if there was anyone she suspected could have been behind the fire. She instantly thought of one name. She said Mosiah Adler. Adler was a teenage boy who got expelled after setting a classmate’s hair on fire. It turns out it had been a part of a prank gone wrong and that the fire had been accident. He never meant to set the girl’s hair on fire.
He also had an alibi. He was burying his uncle during the time of the arson at the church and Mosiah had a few things to say about Father Anthony. The priest was close to losing his parish. He was fighting with the archbishop and the archdiocese threatened to take his parish away from him. And so there could be a reason why Father Anthony led Severide down the wrong path.
Severide went to the archdiocese to get answers. He couldn’t get anyone to talk to him or the arson investigator, but they did learn that Father Anthony had been asked to hand over his parish papers. Nothing emailed. The archdiocese wanted the hard copies and those somehow burned up in the fire. Severide was reporting what they found to the investigator’s boss.
As he was doing that, Boden approved to make Cruz an acting lieutenant and so that put another fire station out into the field. There were a lot of emergencies coming in. The firehouse was also using landlines and their old alarm system. The millennials had been surprised by the old alarm system. They had never it before and that was just sad because the system was put in when the station was built. And today was a day of lessons.
Mouch and Hermann handled everything together until Mouch started to snap. He had to take a walk and in the interim the rest of the guys carry on doing the job. They even responded to Severide when he called for help. Severide went to go speak with the priest. He spotted a man fleeing and found out whoever that was set the priest on fire. Severide was able to douse the fire.
He saved Father Anthony’s life and unfortunately the arsonist got away again. The cyber attack was really messing things up. It also made it very difficult to capture the arsonist because it got away when everything was down and so it didn’t even matter that everyone got their dispatch back. The city paid the ransom and track the payment back to the hackers. And the hackers were arrested so there will be justice.
But again, the arsonist is still out there. Severide went to the hospital to question the priest again and that’s where he learned that Father Anthony is in a medically induced coma. He can’t talk. He can’t identify the arsonist and so the arsonist continued to wreck havoc.
THE END!
