"Acting Up"
allmoviesfan23 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
After a harrowing call - one of the most dangerous in the show's entire run - where a young boy is shot through the wall as a result of a gang dispute that leads to Kidd and co coming under actual fire during round two of that gang squabble, we see a human side to Carver that we haven't seen a whole lot of yet. I like his transformation. Just wish, on the call with the bullets flying, we'd seen one of Voight's team attend rather than some random Chicago PD officer. Apparently Platt is the only CPD character who crosses over to Fire?

Firehouse 51 is going through changes in the wake of Severide's departure, and that includes Joe Cruz acting up as lieutenant. He has to deal with a bit of a moron of a floater - is there any kind of floater in the Chicago Fire universe who isn't a bit suspect? - and get used to being in charge. Those are certainly big shoes he is trying to fill.

No clue what's going to happen with the Gallo-Violet situation as we reach the end of the season.

Hermann wants to have a party to celebrate Cindy finishing her chemotherapy run, but she is uncertain about the idea. So Hermann goes to Mouch to get Platt to intervene, because, as they said, Platt isn't the easiest person to say "no" to. That leads to another Amy Morton cameo, which is never a bad thing, and a patented Chicago Fire feelgood ending.

Cruzes pain and a lot of mislead

We get a load of tales in this episode but most of them arent written bad they just didnt get the screen time they needed, I wish they would focus more on the fires and the incidens and work the conflicts and character drama in there, then just going all around.

I know they have lost Matt Casey and now Severide is taking a break from the grind. BUT they really lack focus in this episode, it had very promising plots buzt it was just not told well because of the lack of time.

This is the first episode of this season that. Actually was average. It didnt get me hyped up while it could have done that easily. The writers need to focus more on whats going on and not try to tell everything at once.
