Of course, it all went bad on their first date when Kelly accidentally referred to her as a "White Breasted Mattress Thrasher." 😝

C'mon, FBI. You're going to the address of a known slasher/mutilator that you suspect in three different murders, and you send only two agents? I get that a chase scene is mandated and it's also a necessary exposition for Creepy McCreepface to recognize Maggie, but still. You would think that the doctor or son would notice that one of the knives was missing. Even though they didn't commit any crime (at least relevant to this case), both those "doctors" should be reported to the Board of Medicine for professional misconduct. God they were creepy. I can imagine how other patients felt. Nice callback from Elise when she referred to the other guy's farm family background. Remember the episode where he correctly deduced the make and model of a truck in question?

Not to mention that in daytime the Chinatown area in SF is heavy with tourist traffic and such. A fire would be noticed almost immediately.

Pick a name of a star in a certain film industry, like John Holmes, f'rinstance. Not traceable either, but anyone chasing after him would land it that rabbit hole right quick. "Hey, Eddie, come here. You gotta see this." And just like that they spend two hours watching videos.

Colter has been shown to rough up anyone from whom he needs information, right up to breaking into houses and shoving a gun in their face. He's not innocent of anything in my opinion.

Oh, but that opening shot of "San Francisco" was something to be believed. I'd kind of like to know which suspension bridge hangs over a 4 lane metropolitan expressway in town. I'm also curious as to why a police lieutenant would meet a developer in a bar to talk about new housing, and how both of them missed all the FBI windbreakers on scene. They're lucky this wasn't taking place in Chicago. Severide would have been all over that arson fire and the back room. That escape ring would be shut down pronto. I think we can assume that Ms. Lee opened the body bad just a bit after Lucas was put inside the coroner van because, as far as I know, body bags don't have inside zippers. Alright, so the retired deputy talked himself into a recurring role. Let's hope he's not a dead man walking now that we have a big bad in the shadows.

I'm looking at you, This Is Us. I always get such a laugh at this, and traffic-free streets (except when needed), parking, etc. A loaded train does not stop easily. Standing on the tracks is suicide, as evidenced by the number of train/pedestrian/car accidents in my area of California. Wearing a dark coat doesn't help your visibility either. Once it was obvious to me, I did like the interrogation of the two Army officers and the way it was played off on them. I'm going to guess that pensions are not in order for those two.

Remember PeterMills from Chicago Fire?

They, like us, already don't like Ortiz and were hoping that the kidnapper would assist her in exiting the assignment with the least possible paperwork.

No more amazing than running around on firelines or driving the engine months after a kidney transplant. 🤣

Barkley, you disappointed me. You should have taken Shaw on a tortuous path through the refinery, up a flight of stairs, down a flight of stairs, through a hole in the wall...make Shaw work for his heroism. "Maybe they named him after Charles Barkley." You mean an aging loudmouth? Okay then. Colter is going to get the bill from the Dodge dealership and call that kid up: "Listen, kid, you still got that jar with a $162 in it?" Miller sure buried that statue deep enough, didn't he?

Well, what do doctors know when they're up against screenwriters?

For once the episode title is spot on.

Point taken. I think they're setting up the titanic fight between he Leonis and Camden for Bode's soul. That sounds so absurd the way I wrote it but, hey, it's Fire Country, right?

And you were right; fights between inmates, or even crews sometimes, can erupt over nothing and go from 0-60 in a flash. I side with Camden in re Bode. If you're going to be a firefighter, get your head out of your ass and pay attention to your boss. Ignoring his orders, whatever the immediate gratification, is the quickest way to get fired. Sorry Sharon, you don't put a firefighter trainee in charge of the Command Center. It takes a fair amount of training and experience to do that job, and you put a lot of people at risk doing that. I really hope they settle their personal issues (and that means everyone) by the time the show returns. It's getting more and more absurd. Sure, let's talk about it while I'm driving the fire engine Code 3 to a wildland fire. Let's take a break from this fire that's threatening the park and go inside the tent to talk about it. Get to work, people! By the way, Johnny Cash started a fire is the Sespe Condor Refuge outside of Santa Barbara back in 1968, I think. His wheel bearing overheated and away it went. Steep, rugged country there. Anway, the fire killed something like 80 California Condors, but when he appeared in court, he reportedly snarled at the judge and said, "I don't care about your damn birds!" Way to impress them, Johnny.
