The People We Meet is the tenth episode of the fifth season and the 102nd overall episode of Chicago Fire.
Summary[]
Louie's father throws a wrench into Casey and Dawson's family plans. Severide agrees to a bone marrow donation but a work accident throws everything into flux. Casey and Dawson try to find harmony at home. Meanwhile, Otis and Mouch decide to film a PSA encouraging people to join the Chicago Fire Department but hit a creative wall in the process.
Plot[]
Anna's father visits Severide to let him know that Anna has improved and that she is able to have the bone marrow transplant.
On a call, the Truck team isn't able to vent the roof quickly enough, which leads to Severide having to throw himself out of a second story window. Though he is not seriously injured, he has sustained enough damage that no doctor would clear him for a bone marrow transplant. Anna seems surprisingly okay with this, but Severide isn't. Once he learns that the real thing stopping him from the donation is the risk with the epidural, he pushes to get the extraction without the anesthesia.
Dawson and Casey with Louie.
Louie's father Andre visits Casey and Dawson at the firehouse to let them know why he was absent from the meeting they set up: he's being redeployed to Afghanistan. With this news, Andre has decided to waive his parental rights. Gabby decides that she wants Louie to be able to meet his father just in case anything happens to him overseas. Of course, this magical meeting completely changes Andre's mind and he is going to get a local position and search for full custody of Louie.
Andre introduces Casey and Dawson to his whole family just so they understand that Louie will have a great support system with him. Ultimately, they decide to let Louie go home with his dad.
Clarke manages to get someone to sign off on Severide getting the bone marrow extraction done without anesthesia and while he is completely awake.
Otis tries to film a recruitment video for the CFD, but somehow manages to miss filming all the cool stuff that they see on their calls. In the end, he cuts together a video of a speech Boden gave the house after a call.

Quotes[]
- Chief Boden: Our family are not all here, and several of them are hurting. They might be suffering but they are not weak; they are among the strongest men and women that I know. That is what it is to be one of us, to be a firefighter…sacrificing their own happiness for that of another, that is the true meaning of what we do.
