Chicago Fire-Episode 18, 19 and 20

Episode 18- "Fireworks"

This episode picks up with Kelly's father still in town and Mills still trying to figure out how is father died. Kelly's father Benny doesn't really what to bring it up and Boden is on board for keeping it quiet but Mills keeps pressing for answers. Turns out that Benny didn't sign on for an award that would have been given to Mills' father after his death. Benny didn't sign it because it is an award for valor and when Mills' father took of his mask during the fire that was he decision but another firefighter died trying to save him. Benny didn't find that honorable so he didn't sign off on the award. Mills punches Benny after hearing Benny say that what his father did wasn't honorable but an act of cowardliness. Dawson never fills Mills in on the information she knows about Boden sleeping with his mother when his father was still alive.

Shay is still looking for a sperm donor so she can have a baby. She isn't finding anyone she likes and find out a little bit about the process from Mouch... a former sperm donor. Shay then decides to try a different way. She ask Kelly to be the father of her baby. Kelly doesn't answer this episode.

Casey has dinner with Heather and they decide not to take their relationship any farther than friends. They have dinner and watch a movie. Heather falls asleep on the couch and Casey puts a blanket on her and heads to bed. This comes into play the next episode when Kelly shows up at Casey house the next morning and assume Heather and Casey are together.

Benny decides to leave town after the fall out at the fire house. He apologizes to Kelly for what happened but he also questions Kelly's squad he has picked. Kelly then heads to Mills' house and offers him a spot on squad once he finishes his schooling.

Not much else really happens this episode. The fire that they work doesn't really affect what is happening in the show at a drama stand point for the characters.

Episode 19- "A Coffin That Small"

This episode starts off with Kelly finding out that Heather is at Casey house. Casey begs Kelly to understand that it's not what it looks like but Kelly isn't listening. While the team is flushing the hydrants a little boy comes running asking for help. His brother is stuck across the street in a laundry shoot. The team does everything they can to get him out but in the end he dies at the hospital from complication of his injuries. The little boy that dies wanted to grow up and be a firefighter after visiting the fire house on a field trip earlier that year. Herman comes up with the idea for his funeral when the cars pass to have the team dress up in their suits at attention with a flag hanging from the fire truck with all the lights going. Truly a tear jerking moment.

A local gang have been hiding their drugs in the hydrants and a shooting later happens after the guys return back to the fire house. Turns out the gang has been hiding their drugs there for awhile. Casey lets them know he isn't stupid enough to believe they will stop selling because he is talking to them but to know they have to flush the hydrants twice a year and they should find somewhere else to hide the drug or they could get flushed.

Shay and Kelly decide to go through with the insemination. Only problem is Shay realize she can't afford the procedure- $10,000. So she comes up with plan B where her and Kelly just sleep together. Later in the episode Shay informs Kelly that her father is going to pay for the procedure. So they are back to plan A.

Kelly and Casey doesn't resolve their feud but it doesn't get any worse either. Still waiting to see where this story is going. Mills is going to try to be fast tracked for squad with Kelly's help. Also a new candidate is placed at the fire house for a few days... a girl that will be riding with Dawson and Shay.

Episode 20- "Ambition"

Things with Kelly and Shay are moving forward with the insemination. She started her hormone shots. The majority of this episode surround Mills being fast tracked for squad and about the new candidate Tara (she doesn't make it at the house- doesn't have the stomach for city work according to Dawson) with EMS. Mills gets a pretty had time from the truck group about hanging out with the squad group. Tara starts to hit on Kelly pretty much at any given chance. She make a bet with him that if she loses she buys beer. She loses of course. Later that night she shows up at Kelly's and they drink and he doesn't pay attention to his phone when Shay is calling. Shay shows up mad as hell because she was waiting for him at the clinic and he didn't pick up. She releases him of his obligation to be the father of her baby.

The next day everyone is at Mollys getting ready for the bar opening. Casey helped Dawson find the door she was looking for and got it finished and assembled for them. Mostly everyone from the fire house shows up to the bar and they all have the "first beer" from Mollys. While there Shay and Kelly talk about the night before. Shay apologizes to Kelly and tells him she will find another way to make this happen. He tells her no and that they are going to do this together. As everyone is outside around the bar, Kelly gets a text that he needs to go to the fire house asap. Once he gets there he see Tara leaving and she won't speak to him. Inside Chief Boden informs him that she has said he lured her back to him apartment and then forced himself on her... Kelly is shocked and is informed by Boden that he needs to contact his union rep and get a lawyer.

Back at the bar, Casey and Dawson are talking when someone walks into the bar. Dawson informs them that they are closed and as they both turn they see Hallie (Casey ex-fiance). Everyone is surprised and Casey ask her to go for coffee and she say yes. Something seems very off about why she is there. The next episode should be interesting.
