Hopefully Severide comes back and stays for awhile. They could have some interesting conversations about being responsible for deaths, even though accidental or self defense.

Sleeper confessed? But who heard it? Did he survive to sign something in writing, or testify at a hearing for Bode? (Maybe he did, I was only half watching.) Is this show supposed to be good? I feel like it's getting worse... Everyone moves on in relationships really fast; it's like a soap opera. Was Sharon on medical leave to recover, just not at home but somewhere far away? Maybe I should have paid more attention, but I still feel like it wouldn't have made sense, so why bother.

Has he ever actually said this? I think there's only been a lot of speculation and he's remained quiet. Yes and no - he did get pretty pissed off. It took him several episodes to forgive her, and even accused her of cheating on him. He asked if she met someone else and that's why she wouldn't come home. He held a grudge for a while, but yes, by now he has gotten over it.

Thank you for the info, but that's so far away! LOL 😢

The off-screen person with no name?

Did Cruz bring Javi once? But I think that's because Severide wanted to show him that Cruz is a hero, or something... It wasn't as free babysitting.

His ex-wife trafficked drugs over the Canadian border and was caught. I thought it was ridiculous that Boden said that when Sylvie adopted her, they all said they'd support her. Yes, but a baby in a firehouse? They don't have Kylie there anymore to watch her. I'm sure there are others that we don't see, but still...

Thank you! Not as funny as I was hoping, but you did us all a great service. ;-)

Did anyone catch what all of Severide's texts said? Something about something only existing if Capp has one as a pet... I'll try to watch again and pause it to see if it was anything clever. Otherwise, I'm not surprised that Sev will be home again in another week. He knows he screwed up and can only be gone for as short as possible if he's to stay married. I do agree with everyone else in the other threads who have wondered why they are forgetting that Stella did this too, and first. Severide needs to just say "now we're even, neither of us can do it again."

I read the complaint, and it completely glosses over the fact that her contract was most definitely "AT WILL." Disney, Lucas, etc. could fire her for any or no reason at all, at any time, I am sure. They'll give her a small amount of money to settle this and she'll go away. What she calls bullying by Disney et al. was them giving her every opportunity to apologize and keep her job. Ridiculous. Also, she says in there that they wanted her to participate in a Zoom meeting with 45 other people, but she instead offered to take 5 or 6 out to dinner for an in-person discussion. Out to dinner?! During a pandemic?? Yes, let's all dine on some covid-19 appetizer with our denial of bigotry entree... Plus, dragging Pedro into it? For tweets he made years prior to being hired? His family had to flee Chile seeking asylum as political activists. You think he's not going to express his personal opinions? He was literally raised to do so, and everyone has known that from the beginning about him.

JLS deserves so much better. I hope he finds a new show that gives him good material, or he's happy continuing to direct. They wrote Jay into a corner after Sophia left.

I was going to say this too - and maybe Boden actually has to approve Cruz's desire to take the test? Like, he has to sign off on it, confirming Cruz has met minimum requirements. Otherwise, could any rookie just starting out throw their name in and waste everyone's time? I'd hope not, but never know.

He was an important part of the show. Recasting will be hard, but so would writing him out...

I've read that Taylor Kinney is coming back, so this must just be one of the show's cost-cutting measures. What would have made more sense to me, however, is if Stella went with him. Because that would really save them money... I tried to do some googling, and it looks like Kinney makes as much as $200,000 per episode and Miranda makes $175,000. Let them both go to Arizona for 2 weeks and save $750,000...

I don't think he did either; I think Stella must have said something. What we missed was the beginning of any conversation, if there was one. This was my point above - either (a) Severide understands Stella enough to know exactly what she meant by her one-line remark about being happy to have a guy like Cruz working for her, so Sev initiated what we saw with Cruz, (b) Stella actually said more in a conversation off camera, or (c) Cruz finally said something himself directly to Severide. I don't know which happened, and it was a bit sloppy and confusing.

Did Cruz ever go talk to Severide or did Stella just relay the message for him? Something was lost in editing, maybe. Kylie worked at the firehouse for at least one season, if not two. I think she's been out of high school for several years. Remember, Tony is a real firefighter and not an actor. 😉

A member of the team going rogue. A CI getting shot and dying. Lather, rinse, repeat. Maybe it's the effects of the writers' strike still, but they need some new material.

I finally watched the show. It wasn't good at all. Hailey can't leave soon enough, but I don't know if that will save it at this point. In my mind, Jay found Erin in Bolivia (remember her task force too?) and they live happily ever after.

I watched Chicago Med (meh) and Chicago Fire (had its issues too) and then when the first minute of this show came on, I just couldn't do it. I turned it off. I did set the DVR and I have Peacock, so I'll probably watch it eventually, but I haven't cared for this show anymore for several years.

Don't we think that SWMBO will get Kylie as the new truckee? I don't mind if we don't, I thought that Boden's line about her making her own way away from 51 is a good thing, but it just seems to "perfect"...

I think it was VERY rushed. The writing, the acting, the production to get it on air. This happened the last time that there was a writers' strike, and entire seasons of shows basically just became a wash. I think NBC wanted new content as fast as possible for viewers and this was the result. I'm not surprised that they are also glossing over the extra-long hiatus. Friday Night Lights comes to mind as a show that really suffered the last time from a strike. Wrapping up cliffhangers with even worse explanations is not what viewers want to see, but I think that they are just trying to move on and get back to "normal" as fast as possible. That said, is anyone else besides Sylvie going to leave? Cruz? Herrmann? We could still get some surprises. I think he lost a little bit of weight? His face looks thinner. But, all people age and change, so it could be nothing - we just haven't seen him for awhile.

Ugh... well then they better get on it. We shouldn't have to wait until 2026 for anything new.

I love this. LOVE it. All of it! This show is what made me a Star Wars fan. Did I watch one of the originals at some point in my life? Maybe. It didn't stick with me, though, I guess. Then they make this show during a pandemic, and I must watch all Star Wars! Give me Season 4. Give me The Mandalorian and Grogu. Give me the next Mando-universe movie. I'm here for it. Take my money, please and thank you.

If she leaves because she goes to join Jay in Bolivia... 🤮🤮🤮 ETA: I should clarify that she needs to just leave because she's a horrible detective/cop and a sullen, depressing character.

I vaguely recall that Jon Favreau or Dave Filoni said that season 4 is already written? Plus I think that the movie is still in the works, so they need another season of a few shows to lead up to the movie. As long as Pedro will do the voiceover work, this show is probably here for awhile. The harsh critics are in the very small minority; most people like it. ETA: Pedro is basically popular and in demand because of this show. Yes, he was fantastic in GoT, but this put him on the map. He seems like a guy that isn't going to bite the hand that fed/feeds him.
