If I remember correctly, he was planning to let her stay there overnight because it was safer. I could be wrong.

Colter: "No, I don't need any payment for this job. I did it for a friend."
Translation: "I pocketed several rolls of bills of that extortion money while I was in the van. Who's gonna know?"

Well, that elevator door is going to be topic of conversation for a long time, however the Amanda crisis is resolved. He could have used a Sharpie at least, so the message could be cleaned off.

Notwithstanding the fact that the complaints against Boden had some validity, or at least would in the real world, the paramedic chief is right. Boden is overprotective of his station, to the point that eventually something will go wrong and all the growling in the world won't stop the upper management (or the media) from looking into the operations.
Maybe it's just me, but my first reaction to the hazardous gas coming out of the storeroom would be to block up that door with a towel while all the patients were evacuating.
I wonder if Chicago Med has dedicated parking for a 40' vehicle so that the truck crew can go inside and check on their friend.
I would think that CFD would have some kind of Employee Assistance Program where Gibson could get referred to treatment without prejudice and eventually return to 51.
The medical aid at the biker bar had some realism to it. Those bikers, as we learned from "Mayans MC" are very particular about their kuttes.

Apparently these agents learn nothing from the sarin case. They know they’re dealing with sprayed/inhaled poison in this case and nobody (incl. the SWAT team) wears a respiratory mask?
Not to mention shouting at the guy from 15' away, knowing that he had a deadly weapon in his hand with the intent to use it. Why not get around behind him and tackle him without warning? Obligatory chase notwithstanding, of course.

Wow. Professor Villainess sure had some fight moves. She was mopping the floor with Maggie for a bit there.
That was sure a lot of ricin in those two bottles (and a lot of pressure, too), to contaminate all five floors of that building. I would have thought that a central alarm would have been faster, maybe with a public announcement that there was an active hazmat incident in progress. Most people would clear out in a hurry.
Students in the lab: "She's busted? Woo hoo! No final this semester!"
I don't care if the little twerp was brainwashed and radicalized. His lawyer will be lucky to get a plea deal of life without parole.
A tip of the hat to James Cagney in "White Heat" with that chase scene in the refinery complex.

I did enjoy how Colter figured stuff out, like with the bets,
As soon as he said "Why would he bet on the horse if he was going to steal it?", I immediately thought, red herring. He did it to cover his tracks. But, no.
Stuart must have lined up some really stupid buyers overseas if they were willing to pay big bucks for a horse without a complete medical exam.
11 hours ago, Raja said:as she doesn't need a gun or a team to compete.
And yet another instant reaction. He was holding her left arm behind her back, and I thought 'Just swing around, pin his arm, and clobber him and/or knock the gun down', and that's what she did. It's getting hard to find good bad guys anymore. He couldn't even explain his evil plan to them, had to make it up.
Possibly related to the sports delay (although mine started on time), but the show cut to commercial unexpectedly in the middle of some dialog, and then, at one point after a commercial break, there was a minute of black screen. Looks like CBS had a gremlin loose.

Spoiler Alert! Station 51 in peril again! I was willing to accept Robinson's question on the first call as an ordinary suggestion about an alternate treatment, but when he doubled down at the house call, he lost my favor. By the way, what was that in the victim's mouth? Too icky for TV?
Gentlemen, that is why you don't mess around with valuables on an incident scene. They should have immediately notified the Incident Commander (speaking of which, where was Boden?) and have him call the cops right away. Get that monkey off your back. It was stupid putting those sacks in the Squad. Anyone could have seen that. But anyway, so Grandma pocketed it and they all lit out for the territories, eh? I'm a bit curious, though. ~$60K missing from the total stash of ~$100K. Even with $100 bills there's no way that amount would fit in that little vent hole. Maybe those gangbangers will hire Anton Chigurh to go find it for them.
Mouch. What are you doing? Just give the citation to Boden, let him deal with CPD. The city would pay it anyway, right? He got lucky with the clerk, financially that is. And, now they drop the technical rescue class in the plot, so is Mouch going to disappear for a while?
Sorry, 51, but Robinson has a point. You don't go storing non employees at the fire station, for any reason. There's so much that could go wrong there, even though it's been a plot point many a time.

Bad guys don't drive electric cars. They drive big, ugly cars from one of the competitors to the car company sponsoring the show.

Well paced episode. I got a slight laugh when Elise pulled some data up on her screen, and Jubal came over to look at it. She waved him off and pointed to the big screen. Your agents are getting ahead of you, Jubal.
Well, Hector, I hope your friends in California are willing to do a long term babysitting gig, because that "I was scared for my kid" excuse isn't going to tread water in court. Three counts of kidnapping, several counts of attempted murder (shooting at the agents on arrival), and numerous and sundry other charges.

Inquiring minds want to know; what's the over/under on Colter bluffing his poker hand vs. actually having a winner?

Convicted murderer in a fire camp. Yeah, no. Not gonna happen. That being said, Eve doesn't get to determine who stays in camp, and who gets transferred, unless there was some violation of fire department/CDCR rules, and even then the COs determine the inmate's fate.
Vince sure got huffy when he was replaced as Incident Commander. That's the way it works, boss, although there should have been an orderly transfer and briefing, but, hey, why quibble.
I'm sure glad that Bode could hold his breath for however long it took to rescue Vince from the burning building. Because, you know, all those toxic fumes might actually do some damage to a lesser man.
Why is there a chemical plant in this isolated village? I mean, you have to truck all the raw material in, and the chemicals back out, which adds to the cost of production, but I guess it's not so bad that one engine company and a hazmat squad can't handle it.

That is true. He should have walked her back to the camp, and sent Freddy 2.0 on ahead to get help, but that's real life. It serves to protect both the civilian and Bode; her from possibility of assault, and him from the possibility of a false claim of assault. Here it's required that he get arrested to drive the plot.

I thought that Hassan was going to buy a red shirt when he walked into that shop to meet the Saudi banker, heh. Agreed that he totally screwed up but that falls on the FBI, too. You don't throw agents into a tight knit and possibly dangerous undercover atmosphere without some training on how to conduct yourself, and nobody gets to wing it. He should have been talking to his handlers at Counterintelligence every step of the way. All that being said, I did get a kick out of the slowest foot chase yet on this show.
Can you really pick up fingerprints underneath other fingerprints?
If they need a full SWAT team to enter that apartment, but just OA and Maggie to go to the restaurant, even though the guy is still dangerous. Wouldn't the W-2 have an address on it?

I looked up Manhattan Kansas on the map, and Colter was right. It's about 1700 miles from Mt. Shasta City. How he knew that I don't know, but, figuring about 15 mpg at best in that beast of a truck and towing a trailer, that's just over 100 gallons of fuel. I hope he cashed that reward check before he left.

(Colter) "Noah was alone in the woods for 24 hours. He was afraid. He managed to elude his pursuer. He managed to find water."
I understand now. Shelter Stone is not a prison. It's a training ground to help delinquents escape from prison!

I do agree that Elsbeth is skating a thin line between Columbo and... Mr. Bean. I am waiting to see if they ultimately decide to lean one way or the other.
That's my issue, too. The difference is that Columbo was a detective on the police force and Elsbeth is a nosy attorney getting involved where she shouldn't be, and the police seem to be complacent with it. Sure, the premise of the series is that she swoops in where all the cops can't figure it out and provides the critical link to the guilty party. What's holding this whole idea up is the investigation into Captain Wagner, which likely will be the season long arc.

Anyone with half a brain (which excludes the majority of arrestees on TV) would say "I want to talk with an attorney. Now" And a good attorney would at least attempt to get the charges reduced by a plea bargain with the DA.

I'm curious as to how the drone camera can see down through all that fire and smoke when people can't even see anything on the ground.
Bad advice, Manny. Eve should not be playing fun games with the inmate crew in a bonding effort. That way lies disaster.
I was waiting for Super Bode to break away from the crew and run through the fire to help guide the engine back to relative safety.

That, and lighting a candle to memorialize the 580 CFD personnel who have died on fires. What a great way to start a wedding.

I was wondering if Gemma was pulling the long con on OA, and is actually tied in with the Ukranian gangsters.
Well, stupid preppy girls gonna stupid preppy girl, no matter what. How stupid do you have to be to sell a lot of cocaine to someone you just met in a disco club? So she takes a bullet in the end, probably wondering "How did I screw this up so bad?"
I bet OA is going to confiscate that sex tape for, uh, evidence purposes.
Tiff is doing a terrible job of undercover surveillance at the bar. Standing alone, staring at the crowd, and never once cracking a smile.

I guess Mouch is going for Lieutenant? Unless Hermann retires, there’s no room at 51 so don’t know how that would work. Maybe that would be his exit story?
Unless they have some magical promotions to Captain (I'm looking at you, Fire Country), and someone takes Casey's vacant slot.
-
What? You mean the paramedic boss didn't get an invitation to the wedding? I'm shocked, shocked!
Maybe it's just me, but I would have had the crew pass up an attack line and flooded that room through the ceiling vent. The heat coming through that vent would have been brutal.
I hope they bandaged that crook up just a bit better before handcuffing him.
S6.E07: Behind the Veil
in FBI
So the side victim was a "high value asset" in Russia. That means he was a Russian, or some allied nation, as an American citizen would not need a delicate exfiltration. Yet the DoS toady has to go notify his wife in New York. Doesn't make sense to me.
Marina Koslova (does that name sound familiar? :) ) is in deep shit. The diplomatic immunity, if it exists, won't hold water now that the FBI has evidence of her activities. The Russian Embassy has to deny any knowledge of it, and they're still likely to get shut down because of all the deaths involved, regardless of proof in court. She's dead before the sun comes up.
Nicely scripted episode, with only a minimum of felony stupid people involved. That construction idiot takes, what, 5 kilos of C-4 and leaves it in a parking lot to be picked up by some anonymous source who wants to blow up some tree stumps? Even his attorney is going to laugh at that story.
Great security at that fundraiser at the end. After a disaster at the other facility, nobody even thinks to check around the room even before the event begins? And, I'm sorry to say, that crowd is going to look very sideways at a tall, Middle Easter-looking guy with a beard when OA and Maggie walk in.
The Wall Street bombing in 1920 was a real thing. Anarchists were attacking several institutions in the wake of WWI and the "Palmer raids" instituted by the Department of Justice, and, although several suspects were identified, no one was ever arrested for the bombings.
