- Kelly Severide: I'm never gonna let you go away from me again.
- Stella Kidd: You are not the decider. And pretty soon, we're gonna be in the same rank. So listen up. I am the one who's never gonna let you get away again.
- Stella Kidd: I was just thinking, would it be possible to put off taking the lieutenant's test until next year?
- Wallace Boden: Well, as you know, tests are only scheduled for when there are openings available, so waiting is a gamble.
- Stella Kidd: I'm so grateful to you for your support, and I definitely see myself getting on that officer track soon. There's just a lot going on right now, and I do not want Girls on Fire falling through the cracks.
- Wallace Boden: Okay. Will you do me a favor? Why don't you take a few days, think it over?
- Matthew Casey: I gave you an order on that call, did I not?
- Blake Gallo: What do you mean? About the shut-off? Yes, you told me to take care of it, but I spotted the victim and the shut-off wasn't gonna help her. She was already covered in gas.
- Matthew Casey: The order I'm referring to is when I said no one moves in until I say so.
- Blake Gallo: She'd be dead if I didn't move in right then and there.
- Matthew Casey: You're lucky you're not dead too. Diving in head-first wasn't your only option. You forget how to use a radio? Report your situation, call for backup!
- Blake Gallo: Okay, with all due respect, Captain, you knew I was quick to act when you hired me. That's why you hired me, and I think I deserve the benefit of the doubt here. I mean, I was operating with information you wouldn't have.
- Matthew Casey: Go home.
- Blake Gallo: Wait, what?
- Matthew Casey: Pack up and go home.
- Blake Gallo: Captain...
- Matthew Casey: I can't be your babysitter, Gallo. Come back when you got your head on straight.
- Matthew Casey: You're great, Sydney, and a lot of fun.
- Sydney McMillan: You are too.
- Matthew Casey: I really wish I was in the right place for this now.
- Sydney McMillan: Maybe another time then. Don't lose my number, Captain Casey.
- Matthew Casey: I won't. I promise.
- Matthew Casey: What happened?
- Kelly Severide: I'm keeping a distance so that everyone at the CFD knows that any lieutenant spot Stella gets, she did it on her own. But if I tell her why, that the white shirts are talking smack, it'll make her question herself, and I'm not gonna do that.
- Matthew Casey: So you guys aren't talking at all?
- Kelly Severide: I'm thinking once she takes the test, we'll patch it up.
- Matthew Casey: That's a high risk gamble.
- Kelly Severide: I don't have much of a choice.
- Blake Gallo: I'm heading into 51 whether Casey wants me there or not. Time to do whatever it takes to make things right.
- Gianna Mackey: See, that's why we're so good together. Because when it matters, we give it all we got.
- Blake Gallo: See I thought it was the crazy chemistry.
- Gianna Mackey: So what is this, you and me?
- Blake Gallo: Not that it has to have a label or anything.
- Gianna Mackey: How about no rules? Just fun.
- Blake Gallo: I like that. Except maybe one rule. Cruz can never know this happened, which means we can't tell anyone at the firehouse.
- Gianna Mackey: I'll think about it.
- Blake Gallo: Not really negotiable. I mean, Cruz and I are firefighters at the same house, so at some point, my life will be in his hands.
- Sylvie Brett: It's pretty weird for Casey to lose his cool. Does he seem different to you lately?
- [Stella doesn't answer]
- Sylvie Brett: Stella?
- Stella Kidd: Sorry, I... My head's all over the place.
- Sylvie Brett: I don't blame you.
- Stella Kidd: Everybody warned me that Kelly wasn't the settling down type, that he would blow this up somehow, some way.
- Sylvie Brett: But he has changed so much since you two got together.
- Stella Kidd: Does anybody ever really change? What if everything that I thought we had together was wrong?
- Kylie Estevez: Hey, uh, Cheif Boden wanted me to... You okay?
- Stella Kidd: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I'm fine. What's this?
- Kylie Estevez: Uh, Chief said you need these books for the lieutenant's exam.
- Stella Kidd: Uh, thanks, Kylie.
- [Kylie nods and walks away]
- Stella Kidd: This is a lot.
- [alarm blares]
- Emergency dispatch: Ambulance 61, person down, 4042 South Carroll.
- Sylvie Brett: I'm here for you. Anything you need.
- Christopher Herrmann: Hey, so, uh, when are you gonna tell people about Chloe being...
- Joe Cruz: Shh, shh. Listen, she's being extra careful, all right? She doesn't want anybody to know for a couple weeks. Just in case anything...
- [Mouch pops up in front in them]
- Christopher Herrmann: Hey.
- Randy Mouch McHolland: Why'd you just stop talking like that?
- Joe Cruz: What? No, I didn't.
- Randy Mouch McHolland: Was it about me?
- Joe Cruz: Uh, no.
- Christopher Herrmann: No.
- [alarm blares]
- Emergency dispatch: Squad 3, Truck 81, Engine 51, Ambulance 61, structure collapse, 18th and South Paulina.
- Randy Mouch McHolland: I know what all that whispering was about.
- Joe Cruz: You do?
- Randy Mouch McHolland: Yeah. And if you saw it, say it to my face.
- Joe Cruz: What are you talking about, Mouch?
- Randy Mouch McHolland: Okay.
- Christopher Herrmann: I heard Brett and Mackey were ready to tackle those two scammers right into the ground.
- Joe Cruz: I believe it. I'm just glad Mackey's finally in the clear with Chief Colson. Oh, hey!
- [looks around to see if anyone else is within earshot]
- Joe Cruz: [whispers] So, Chloe got a checkup.
- Christopher Herrmann: Yeah?
- Joe Cruz: The doc says everything looks great. So hopefully, sometime next week...
- [Mouch and Ritter appear around the corner]
- Randy Mouch McHolland: I know what you're talking about. I don't care who sees it anymore.
- [unbuckles his belt and shows his bare behind. Cruz and Ritter look away]
- Christopher Herrmann: Aw, you got Trudy's name tatooed on there.
- Randy Mouch McHolland: [pulls his pants back up] I lost a bet. Okay? You do not back out on a bet with Trudy Platt. I was trying to keep it in the marital vault, but I guess someone here has prying eyes.
- Christopher Herrmann: No one ever saw that, Mouch.
- Joe Cruz: Yeah, that's a secret I did not want to know.
- Blake Gallo: [walks around the corner]
- [about Mackey]
- Blake Gallo: She showed up at my place. I didn't ask her to come over. It just happened, okay?
- [walks away]
- Joe Cruz: I'm gonna kill those two.
- Matthew Casey: Hey, Mouch. Did you see Gallo's save?
- Randy Mouch McHolland: No. I came up on him after. Good thing, too. If I saw him dive under there, I might've had another heart attack. It was a pretty ballsy move.
- Gianna Mackey: [about Gallo getting suspended after he told a story about how he saved a woman at the gasoline fire] Really, this whole thing is my fault. I'm the one who made him tell the story.
- Sylvie Brett: No, that's not on you. It sounds like Gallo got himself sent home.
- Emergency dispatch: Ambulance 61, person down, Washington Square Park, 901 West Clark.
- Sylvie Brett: Copy that. On our way.
- Emergency dispatch: 10-4, Ambulance 61. I've got you en route.
- Darren Ritter: Hey there.
- Randy Mouch McHolland: What do you say, D.R.?
- Darren Ritter: You seen any, uh, any good movies lately?
- Randy Mouch McHolland: Sadly, no. Trudy's on a "Nordic nor" kick, so we're streaming a crime show from Iceland that never seems to end.
- Darren Ritter: That's too bad.
- Randy Mouch McHolland: Telling me.
- Darren Ritter: Anything else new with you?
- Randy Mouch McHolland: What do you mean?
- Darren Ritter: Nothing.
- Randy Mouch McHolland: Do you have something you want to ask me?
- Darren Ritter: What?
- [laughs]
- Darren Ritter: No. I'm just... making conversation. You know, just hanging with my mentor. But it seems like you are not in the mood, so no worries. All good.
