Chicago Fire Season 13 Episode 7 Review: Untouchable

Critic’s Ranking: 4 / 5.0

4

If we’re being sincere, Chicago Hearth Season 13 Episode 7 didn’t reply as many questions as we would have hoped.

We nonetheless don’t know what occurred with Pascal in Miami, Lizzie’s feelings about her new ardour mission counsel that it could be extra private than she’s letting on, and the continuing soiled cop storyline isn’t precisely resolved.

However we did get fairly a number of good character scenes, and regardless of what’s going on, this present all the time does these properly.

Sadly, this episode — very like the previous couple of — began with a Carver/Tori scene.

It’s no secret that this specific relationship didn’t precisely resonate with followers, however I don’t assume it was ever alleged to.

We now know that the connection began on account of a trauma bond, which could clarify the toxicity between Carver and Tori.

Clearly, Carver has been going by it since Chicago Hearth Season 12 Episode 13, when he dropped an “I like you” bomb on Violet after which left the state. Basic.

To his credit score, Stella’s stern lecture appears to have sunk in, and now he’s targeted on work.

At the very least, he’s attempting to be.

By the top of the hour, Tori’s issues have been cleared out of Carver’s closet and a proverbial nail was pushed into the Carver/Tori coffin.

However why Carver caught it out for so long as he did, even whereas the connection was clearly impacting his profession, will perpetually stay a thriller.

In different relationship information, Violet lastly let her guard down with Flynn on this episode!

After all, in true Violet style, she did it in an ungainly and probably inappropriate approach, however hey.

We’re pleased with our lady for placing her playing cards on the desk.

Attending a funeral collectively as a date could also be slightly unusual, however trauma-dumping about your ex dying in entrance of you on a date is slightly unusual, too.

Possibly Flynn and Violet actually are an incredible match.

To no one’s shock, the episode was crammed to the brim with examples of why Chicago Hearth’s friendships are a few of the finest on TV.

Cruz and Ritter each took time to encourage Mouch, who spent the hour stressing about his upcoming lieutenant’s examination.

Cruz missed the mark a bit, certain, however by the top of the episode he’d discovered what Mouch wanted to listen to from him.

Violet stood by Lizzie and supplied assist and encouragement as she fought by crimson tape to carry an entire blood program to the ambo.

Even Severide and Pascal bounced off one another whereas working their approach by an ongoing arson investigation.

Don’t get me unsuitable, I nonetheless don’t know if I belief Pascal.

However I can’t deny that he and Severide are getting nearer.

Severide is a good man and a great good friend, however the truth that he was prepared to remain late at work to assist Pascal with paperwork is fairly significant.

My concern is that Pascal has one thing shady up his sleeve, and desires to maintain Severide shut as a result of he is aware of that’s his finest probability of flying below the radar.

To not be a complete conspiracy theorist, however what if that results in Severide getting harm in some way?

With the Stellaride child matter nonetheless simmering on the again burner, a near-death expertise for Kelly would make for a dramatic storyline main right into a being pregnant.

Given all of the curveballs this present has thrown at us over time, it wouldn’t even be probably the most stunning factor to occur to a contented couple.

As for the case itself, it nearly seemed like a decision was on its approach.

Multi-episode storylines are comparatively uncommon for Chicago Hearth, so I can’t say I anticipated the Bishop-dirty-cop factor to final this lengthy.

Bishop could also be on his method to jail for now, and Pascal appears to assume that’s excellent news for his household (and Severide’s), however one thing is lacking.

There’s no probability Bishop doesn’t have a number of folks working behind the scenes, so his absence doesn’t imply a lot to me.

You don’t make the sort of threats that Bishop made, particularly to folks you already know are properly linked, when you can’t comply with by with them.

If something, Pascal’s confidence that Bishop can’t harm anybody anymore raises my hackles much more.

Precisely what’s our mysterious new chief hiding?

What occurred in Miami, Pascal?!

Right here’s hoping we get a flashback episode sooner or later, as a result of I’m going to wish greater than only a fast clarification in spite of everything this buildup.

Bits and Bobs

• Stella has been placing on her hardass hat extra usually these days, and I like watching her put the boys of 51 of their place once they’re playing around.
• Lizzie’s ponytail will all the time be iconic, and we bought to see her let her hair down on this episode. Seems, she’s simply attractive both approach.
• Why precisely does Severide have cigars stashed in his locker?

• I’ll by no means get bored with seeing my favourite bestie trio in scenes collectively. Lizzie, Violet, and Ritter, you’ll all the time be well-known.
• Do the powers that be know that they’re criminally underutilizing KaDee Strickland?
• Ritter having Chicago P.D.‘s Dwayne saved as “scorching cop” in his telephone till issues bought critical is actually such a vibe.

Subsequent week’s episode guarantees to be one other action-and-drama-packed hour, so don’t miss it!

Provided that it is going to be the final episode earlier than a prolonged winter hiatus, we are able to most likely financial institution on a cliffhanger or two.

Within the meantime, let’s discuss — let me know what you considered the episode within the feedback, and price it under!
