- Quotes
Stella Kidd: Just say it. I'm being overdramatic.
Matthew Casey: I wouldn't say that.
Stella Kidd: No?
Matthew Casey: Not at all. We were told to have our radar up for threats to the power grid.
Stella Kidd: Right, but all I found was a bullet.
Matthew Casey: That bullet is called a Raufoss round..50 caliber BMG ammunition with a high-explosive, armor-piercing projectile.
Stella Kidd: Raufoss.
Matthew Casey: It's Norweigan for red waterfall.
Stella Kidd: Oh, lovely.
Matthew Casey: Yeah. It'll go clean through steal armor and detonate on the other side. Extremely destructive.
Stella Kidd: So what's this guy doing with it?
Matthew Casey: Good question. It's not illegal, but it's incredibly expensive and very hard to get ahold of. You remember that incident out here I talked about with the militia group?
Stella Kidd: Sure.
Matthew Casey: Those guys were known to possess a cache of those rounds. There has to be a connection.
Stella Kidd: So what are we gonna do?
Matthew Casey: I'm coming to you. I'm gonna catch a redeye to Chicago tonight.
Stella Kidd: Oh.
Matthew Casey: You need to reach out to Chris McManus. Remember him, your DHS contact in the Midwest?
Stella Kidd: Yeah.
Matthew Casey: You need to tell him what you found as soon as possible, because I think we're looking at exactly what those guys have been warning us about.
Just disappointed we didn't get a Chicago PD cameo or three.
We did, however, get news of Brett's future. Will she be able to adopt the baby or not? Some really solid acting across the board here. None more so than Kara Killmer.
The finale also included an appearance by Australia's Jesse Spencer, bringing back Matt Casey. Obviously the showrunners are trying to slot him in where they can, especially in Taylor Kinney's ongoing absence.
Now, following what I'll call part one of the finale cliff-hanger, Spencer's status as a full-timer on the show going forward is going ho need to be answered. Even before the finale twist, there were real-world whispers that he may be back, and his recent cameos talking about how the Darden kids are getting older lends credence to that theory.
There was another part to the cliff-hanger, involving another much-loved character, just after it looked like it was all sunshine and rainbows, and I have a sinking feeling that we'll be waiting a long time to find out what happens with the writer's strike and now the actor's strike threatening to scuttle TV's best laid plans.
If this was the last Chicago Fire episode for a while, at least it went out on a high.
