Summary[]
Lt. Severide is shocked when Renee Royce resurfaces at the firehouse. Casey comes up with a plan to help Chief Boden in his latest pursuit. Kidd regrets a decision she made regarding Severide. Herrmann doesn't see eye-to-eye with Lt. Colannino over coaching their son's basketball team.
In the fire at the tire shop, Lt. Colannino rescues the injured tire worker from harm and is injured after the building that is in fire explodes. Herrman tries to save him, but is held back by Chief Boden. The fire is extinguished with water by firefighters, who find Colannino, but are unable to save him. Colannino dies in the line of duty, surrounded by Casey and the other firefighters.
Plot[]
Severide returns Stella's mail to her as 'punishment' for moving out on him. He tells her that he misses her and she tells him to ask her out on a real date. He tells her they're going out tomorrow night and that the reservation will be under Stell Stellakidd, a misspell of her name on her mail.
On a call, a paramedic has injured her wrist inside the ambulance with a patient. The patient starts convulsing so they use tools to open the back of the ambo. The paramedic is unable to help him, so Dawson and Brett intervene. The private paramedics warn Stella and Gabby that there's going to be a new person in charge and soon their rules won't be too different.
Cruz lies about hanging out with his brother Leon and building furniture the previous night when talking to his roommates. He seems to have lost his money clip. Later, Delia comes by the firehouse while Cruz is out, so Brett offers to take a message for him. Delia asks her to tell him that she came by and that he left his money clip last night, handing it to Brett. Brett avoids Cruz and he notices. He asks her what's up and she is upset that he lied to her.
Renee Royce returns to the firehouse. She wants Severide to help her with a case she's working on involving two firefighters who got injured. Gabby updates Stella on who Renee is and what she did to Severide -- breaking up with him and then lying to him about carrying his baby.
