Chicago Fire - Episode 2.13 - Tonight's the Night - Review

What a night, guys. When the lights are out the wolves come out to play. We have so much to talk about, so let’s get this started.

51 were responding to a call that led to a blackout, all thanks to a drunk guy who drove his car into a utility pole. Fortunately for him, he’ll survive but he’s going to deal with a ton of guilt and probably jail time. One man can do so much damage to a whole city. With the electricity out, Chief Boden welcomes the public to stay at 51 till the power is back again.

So the uncle of the girl who’s in a coma came to 51 to seek vengeance. He attacked the drunk guy’s brother and got thrown out of the firehouse by Severide. It takes time to plot the perfect revenge. Someone should ask him watch the show Revenge. He made a death threat towards Severide who just shrugged it off like he’s used to getting them or something. Since this might have to warrant some attention from the police department, it gives Sophia Bush a reason to visit Chicago Fire. Man, I hope she gets to crossover often. However, I think it’s not a good enough reason for her to show up. I mean, doesn’t detectives only appear when there’s a dead body or something? Can't uniformed cops take care of this? I realized that Chicago PD's detectives often appear over the slightest things. Don’t they have murders to solve? Maybe I watch too much procedural dramas.

Throughout the episode they found out that there’s another man lurking around 51 looking for Severide. They did some patrolling around the firehouse and Casey’s the one to find him. Casey got shoved against the wall and hit his head. Maybe this time it’ll knock some of his memories back into his head? No?

Last week I was wondering if this whole memory loss problem is neurological or psychological. Then we have Casey bleeding from his ears. Dear Casey, I hope you realize that it’s probably time to tell Dawson and get it checked out. You might be hurt but you’re not stupid.

Amidst the blackout drama, we’ve got quite a handful of medical situations, which I love. Grey’s Anatomy is taking forever to return from its hiatus! Dawson’s helping out at the firehouse and also on calls, which does not bode well with Rafferty. In the end they managed to not strangle each other and help save an old lady's life. Dawson returns to being the paramedic rockstar she’s meant to be. Seriously, quit the fire academy because you and I both know where your heart belongs to. 10 bucks says she’ll be back.

Also, I realized something that I’ve never noticed before. I actually like Dawson and Mills together. I’m all for Dawson and Casey, but seeing those two together talking and helping people out made me realize that they’re not that bad as a couple. I actually liked Mills more when he's with Dawson.

Clarke got himself into quite a predicament when he was over at the shop across the street to get some more food. Because he’s a war hero, he managed to save the shop owner and beat up some guys at the same time. Like we’d expect anything less from him.

Since Shay is the new partner of Molly’s, she’s the deciding vote when Hermann, Otis and Dawson each have their different views about what they should do with the bar. When Shay said that she also got an idea, I knew it would be something gay. Lesbian night seems like a great idea to them. It was pretty funny.

Speaking of funny, the whole Otis/Katie and Chief Boden/Donna making out scenes and being caught was hilarious. It’s nice to see Chief Boden loosening up a little.

And when we thought everybody’s safe again, Katie gets kidnapped by the same guy who threatened Severide. Will this continue in the next episode, or in Chicago PD? This reminds me, for those who are watching Chicago PD, I’m still contemplating if I should watch it. Is it necessary since it’s somehow related to Chicago Fire? Is it worth it?

So did you guys enjoy the episode? I certainly did. Since I don’t see a promo anywhere, is it safe to say there won’t be a new episode next week? Let me know what you guys think about this episode!
