Up in Flames: Severide’s Past and Casey’s Jealousy in "Escape Route"
Sylvie Brett seems ready to move on, even encouraging Casey to reach out to his ex-wife, Gabby Dawson. Her flirtation with Grainger, which began a few episodes ago, officially moves forward as the two get to know each other better. Even Grainger can see the lingering tension between Brett and Casey, making for some incredibly awkward scenes when the three are forced to work together. Quick Hits from the Firehouse:
