Severide was fighting with his fiancé Kidd. Kidd had gotten her way recently when Gallo chose to stay on her squad and turned down an opportunity to work directly under Severide. Which made Kidd happy because she was glad she didn’t have to look for someone new. It didn’t make Severide happy because he realized that the reason he doesn’t fight with his fiancé is that she always gets her way. She did so with Gallo. She does this with things at home. Kidd was always the person that has to win and so Severide was getting a little tired of it. He admitted as much to her. He didn’t say anything else and they weren’t really talking. And that made things incredibly awkward as they shared a ride into work the next morning.

It was still awkward when they had to work on the same scene. The whole station got called to a fire involving a food truck and a regular car. The car and the person in it were fine. But the truck had this driver who refused to be get treated. He didn’t say it in words. He said it in his actions. He kept trying to run to the truck and get whatever he was transporting out and he almost blew himself up along with the fireman who chased after him. The guy also refused to relax when they brought him back to the ambulance. Violet was feeling so frustrated with him that she said if he didn’t relax that she would have to intubate him.

It was the threat of this that finally had the man cooperate with them. Normally, Violet wouldn’t be so short-tempered only she found out what Emma was trying to do to her and she was so angry. She was especially angry that this could cost Hawkins his job as well. He didn’t want to not fight for her and if he does that he’ll be fired too. Violet blamed Emma for this. Emma was so desperate to get her job that she was willing to blackmail Hawkins to get it. Hawkins told Violet that he’d handle it. He also told her not to talk about it with anyone and she tried doing that. It was just hard with saying nothing while working alongside two best friends.

Violet eventually gave up. She told Gallo. Gallo wanted to do something to help and so Violet told him that Hawkins had it handled. But Gallo wasn’t fine with just accepting that. He went to Hawkins. He asked what he was doing and so Hawkins informed him about his plan. Hawkins said that Emma came highly recommended from a small town. He checked her files and it looked like someone wrote something before using whiteout to erase it and put the words “not applicable” on it. Hawkins wanted to find out what Emma did on her last job. He was going to make the drive when Gallo agreed to do it for him.

Gallo traveled to the small town. He spoke to the Fire Chief there. He found out that the town wasn’t legally allowed to say anything about their past members and so the guy couldn’t talk about Emma. Whenever Gallo asked a question or even mentioned what Emma was doing now by blackmailing people, the chief would say that it was against policy to say anything. But whatever happened must have been bad. Gallo went back to Chicago with no information. He couldn’t help and Hawkins’s plan didn’t work out. Neither guy knew what to do to protect Violet’s job. They just knew that Emma was trouble. And she desperately wanted a permanent job in Chicago for some reason.

Gallo broke the bad news to Violet. She was feeling desperate by that point when she got called out to a scene with Emma and Emma chose to act as her superior. Emma was making all the calls. She was even making mistakes. Violet had to pull Emma out of the way of a speeding car. She saved Emma’s life. Emma even thanked her for it. The two of them were slowly learning to put up with each other when Severide’s day took a turn for the worst. The guy from the food truck showed up at their station. He wanted help in locating his truck. Severide agreed to help, but he suspected something was up and his suspicions panned out after he found the truck.

The truck’s propane tank wasn’t used for cooking. It had several bags of drugs inside. The driver was a drug dealer and that’s why he didn’t want to listen to the EMTs as well as why he kept trying to run back to his truck. He had drugs hidden inside. Severide found them. He called CPD. The driver later showed up and he was arrested after he tried to pull a gun on Severide. But Severide’s day didn’t end there. He went home and some guy claimed his wife needed help. Severide followed him into an alley where the drug dealer’s friends beat him up. Severide was later taken to the hospital. Kidd met with him there.

She was so worried about his condition that she completely forgot about that awkwardness between them. Severide felt the same. He now wants to marry her more than ever and he didn’t care about who gets their way.

Mouch lost his chair at the fire station because some of the other guys messed with it and so demanded that one of them give up his sofa so that he could get the chair back.

As for Emma, she demanded that Hawkins speed up his time frame and give her Violet’s job now. Not later.
