Tonight’s episode of Chicago Fire begins with Boden at the doctor’s with his wife for an ultrasound. The doctor reveals that she thinks there might be a problem with the baby and has to run more tests – Boden and his wife are shaken up.
Dawson and Casey are sitting in the livingroom trying not to listen to Kelly having sex with his new wife that he met in Vegas. Casey agrees to talk to Kelly about it.
Boden heads to the office and reveals to Sherman that his wife Donna is suffering from Placenta Previa. She is at risk of having a life-threatening hemorrhage during the third trimester. Sherman tells him he just needs to be there for Donna and tell her everything will be okay, but Boden argues that everything might not be okay.
Cruz heads to work and gives Sylvie a shirt she left in Zumba class the night before. Kelly and Casey see them talking and think that they are flirting with each other. Casey tries to talk to Kelly about their living arrangements, and hints at him finding a new place to live.
A call comes in, there was a helicopter crash and explosion in the middle of a residential area. They arrive at the apartment building where the helicopter is teetering on the roof. The building is full of smoke, Boden orders them to clear the apartments. Mills and Sylvie get to work on the pedestrians that were hit with pieces of the wreckage that fell from the sky.
Kelly heads to the roof where the remaining part of the helicopter is hanging over the edge. The pilot and two passengers are still inside and if they move the helicopter will fall. Kelly’s wife Brittany shows up at the wreck panicking and asking Boden where Kelly is, and he pushes her behind the crime scene and tells her to let her husband do his job. Sherman and Otis find the propeller in someone’s back yard and a woman is trapped underneath it. Sylvie and Mills find a van in the alley where a piece of the helicopter has fallen through the roof – a man is bleeding inside and they can’t get the door open. A woman comes stumbling out of the apartment building with a mask over her face – she says that Dawson gave it to her and fell inside. Casey tries to reach Dawson on her radio and she doesn’t respond.
Casey runs inside the smoky apartment building and finds Dawson stumbling out, he screams at her to never give up her mask. She argues that her legs were pinned and she had to get the girl out. He sends her over to triage.
Sherman is trying to hold the propeller up off the woman while Otis disassembles some of the bolts. On her way to triage Dawson finds a trail of bloody footprints and starts to follow it. While Mills and Sylvie are working on the man in the van Sylvie notices a bag of passports on the floor of his car.
On the roof Kelly and his team are still trying to get the passengers out of the helicopter, but it is slipping off the roof slowly and they still haven’t gotten the door open. Otis and Sherman get the rotor off the woman and send her to the ambulance. They find a remote control drone stuck in the propeller and realize that is what caused the accident. Dawson kicks in the door of a shed and finds the bloody victim, he is laying on the floor with his head covered in blood and crying that he is sorry. He has a remote control in his hand – it looks like he was the person flying the drone that caused the accident. Dawson helps him up and puts pressure on his head wound. She radios for help and Mills come to the rescue, leaving Sylvie to work on the man in the van alone.
After Mills leaves, the man in the van begins freaking out and pulls a gun on Sylvie. While Dawson and Mills are working on the kid that caused the car accident – he reveals that his brother Jack was with him on the roof and he fell off. Casey finds his brother jack, but he fell on to a transformer box and there are live wires all around him. They can’t get the power turned off, so Casey has no choice but to work around the sparking wires and pull Jack out of the box.
Casey gets Hack out just in the nick of time and there is an explosion from the live wires. He radios Boden and tells him that they made it. Sylvie heads back to the ambulance and Mills wants to know where the driver of the van was – Sylvie explains that he refused treatment. Kelly gets down from the roof and someone tells him that his wife is there running around like a mad woman. He checks his phone and sees that he has 37 unread text messages.
Once the mess is cleaned up, everyone heads back to the firehouse. Sylvie is noticeably shaken up after getting a gun pulled on her, Cruz comforts her and gives her a pass to get in to class free. Casey catches them talking and Sylvie explains that they aren’t dating, Cruz is just her Zumba teacher, and makes her promise not to tell anyone. Naturally Casey runs and tells Dawson and Dawson tells Sherman – and the rumor spreads like wild fire.
Sylvie leaves the fire house and notices a car following her. She turns down an alley hoping to shake them but the follow her. She is trapped, and the driver of the car gets out and it is the patient that pulled a gun on her earlier and refused to go to the hospital. He knocks on her window and says he just wants to talk, he apologizes for being “a bit of a brute” and leaves his business card. He tells her that if she ever gets in a bind or needs a little help she can call him and he will be there.
Boden rushes to the doctor’s office for Donna’s next appointment. He reassures her that she is going to be okay and so is their baby. She tells him that the baby is a boy and Boden bursts in to tears.
At home Kelly is yelling at his wife Brittany that she can’t show up every time there is an accident or a call. Meanwhile, Casey and Dawson are sitting in the livingroom listening. As soon as their make-up sex starts they rush out the door.
Cruz takes the stage at Zumba class, and is not happy to see the entire fire house at his class. He tries to run away, but they insist they have come to his class. He hits the music and takes the stage and all of the Chicago Fire fighters start rocking out to Zumba.
THE END!
