.....because apparently the producers borrowed a page from the Irwin Allen playbook and this became an hour-long disaster melodrama. While Engine 51 chief Wallace Boden (Eamonn Walker) and his better half Donna Robbins (Melissa Ponzio) are awaiting the status of her pregnancy, newly-marrieds Eric Sevarise (Taylor Kinney) and his blushing bride Brittany Baker (Serinda Swan) are getting their freak on. But all that will have to be on the back burner. There's a passenger helicopter with pilot and two passengers, and it's perched on the edge of an apartment building and it's about to fall off. Part of a helicopter rotor fell on top of a lady, and Christopher Herrmann (David Eigenberg) and Brian Zvonecek (Yuri Ssrdarov) will have to disassemble the rotor in order to free her. Another part of the fuselage fell on top of a van, and Sylvie Brett (Kara Killmer) has her hands full as the driver known only as Gus (Jason Kennett) does not want to be treated at a hospital; besides, this character has a bag full of passports. There's something shady about this guy. Come to find out, the passenger helicopter was downed by a four-propeller drone operated by two teenage boys and they're injured. One of them is inside an electrical transformer cage and there's a loose wire spitting sparks, and the other one is lying on the floor bleeding badly and holding the damaged controls of the drone. Head smoke eater Matthew Casey (Jesse Spencer) manages to rescue the teenager in the transformer cage by dragging him out of there. All three passengers are taken out of the crippled chopper. What happened was, the drone had collided with the tail rotor. In the aftermath, Chief Boden finds out he's going to have a son, and Joe Cruz (Joe Minos) leads a Zumba class including his fellow smoke eaters and their ladies. Gus leaves Sylvie a business card. Fine episode all around. Thanks for reading my review. CHICAGO FIRE is a mighty good show.
