#ChicagoFire 2.05: A power move
So we open with Gabby and Jay who are now clearly, um, together. Jay says they need to tread carefully seeing as he’s undercover, or something like that. I’m not really listening because it’s Jay!!!!! And Gabby!!!!! Sexy times indeed. Shay wakes up in Dangerous Liaison’s apartment looking a little under the weather. Oh dear, this […]

Chicago Fire 2.04: A nuisance call
First off, I loved this week’s episode. There was so much going on – intense rescues, lots of character stuff and a few interesting surprises. To avoid a recap as long as War and Peace, I’m just going to summarise the main developments. Chez Shayveride: Otis is as happy as a kid in a candy […]

Chicago Fire 2.01: A problem house
It’s sunny in Chicago again! We’ve gone full circle with the weather. It’s a bit windy though. (Sorry, actual weather fascinates me because where I live it’s hot and then it’s a bit less hot and then it’s hot again and that’s basically it.)

Moving forward with the case, Chin is looking at security camera footage from around Ella’s house and he notices that one particular car keeps coming back into view. I think that’s not so unusual as I get lost all the time but actually, it turns out to be Fake Police Officer Helen Cantera (again, this […]
