Casey: You think I handled it the right way?
Severide: A save like that I might have let it slide, but it’s your call. I wouldn’t second guess yourself as long as your frustration is with Gallo and not something unrelated. You seem a little off lately. Anything going on?
Casey: Nah, all good. How about you? Any particular reason Kidd is staying away from the apartment?
Severide: Nothing that won’t work itself out. It’s all good.

Kidd: I was just thinking would it be possible to put off taking the lieutenant’s test until next year.
Boden: Well, as you know, tests are only scheduled for when there are openings available, so waiting is a gamble.
Kidd: I’m so grateful to you, for your support, and I definitely do see myself getting on that officer track soon. There is just a lot going on right now, and I don’t want Girls on Fire falling through the cracks.
Boden: OK, can you do me a favor? Why don’t you take a few days to think it over?
Kidd: OK, I will.

Mackey: I just wanted to make sure you weren’t moping around, feeling sorry for yourself.
Gallo: That’s very thoughtful of you.
Mackey: Yeah, I’m like that. Seriously, though, I feel so badly about pushing you into telling that story.
Gallo: Don’t. Everything that happened with Casey is on me. You want a beer?
Mackey: No, no, I don’t want to take any more of your hanging out, looking hot in sweats time.
Gallo: I get the feeling you do.
Mackey: I don’t know. I mean I know how nervous you get when I’m within reach.

Casey: I’m sorry. I’d really like to, but…
Sydney: Something to do with the paramedic maybe? Sylvie? It’s kind of impossible not to notice the way you look at her.
Casey: You’re great, Sydney, and a lot of fun.
Sydney: You are too.
Casey: God, I really wish I was in the right place for this now.
Sydney: Maybe another time then. Don’t lose my number, Capt. Casey.

Mouch: I know what you’re talking about. I don’t care who sees it anymore.
Herrmann [to Mouch]: Ah, you got Trudy’s name tattooed on there. Huh?
Mouch: I lost a bet, OK. You do not back out on a bet with Trudy Platt. I was trying to keep it in the marital vault, but I guess someone here has prying eyes.
Herrmann: No one ever saw that, Mouch.
Cruz: That’s a secret I did not want to know.
Gallo: She showed up at my place. I didn’t ask her to come over. It just happened, OK.
Cruz: I’m going to kill those two.

Colson: I’ve seen this before: Medics swapping out narcotics for something benign, usually saline. How well do you know your new partner?
Brett: You think Gianna Mackey is stealing meds off of the ambulance? No way, no chance.
Boden: Mackey came to us highly recommended by Joe Cruz, who’s known her all her life. If Brett says that she trusts her, so do I.
Colson: I can respect that, but I’m going to have to open up an inquiry, and if this doesn’t get resolved, it comes back on the PIC.

Casey: I gave you an order on that call, did I not?
Gallo: You mean about the shutoff. Yes, you told me to take care of it, but I spotted the victim and shutoff wasn’t going to help her. She was already covered in gas.
Casey: The order I’m referring to is when I said no one moves in until I say so.
Gallo: She’d be dead if I didn’t move in right then and there.
Casey: You’re lucky you’re not dead too. Diving in headfirst wasn’t your only option. Forget how to use a radio? Report your situation, call for backup.
Gallo: With all due respect, captain, you know I was quick to act when you hired me. That’s why you hired me, and I think I deserve the benefit of the doubt here. I was operating with information you wouldn’t have.
Casey: Go home.
Gallo: What?
Casey: Pack up and go home.
Gallo: Captain…
Casey: I can’t be your babysitter, Gallo. Come back when you’ve got your head on straight.

Severide: I’ve been MIA because I thought that was best for you. Chief Conway told me the white shirts said the only reason you’re moving up the ladder is because you’re with me. I didn’t tell you because I figured it would mess with your head. You deserve better.
Kidd: You thought that I couldn’t handle that?
Severide: What I thought is you’ve earned every part of this yourself. Everybody should know that.
Kidd: It sounds like maybe you care what they’re saying because I sure as hell don’t. Kelly, I didn’t become a firefighter as a white guy with my father at the top of the chain. I came up alone, fighting every step of the way with people looking down on me and doing whatever they could to shake my confidence. I have a built-in armor that you will never understand, and no one like Conway is going to knock me down.
Severide: Then why aren’t you taking the test? You don’t need my help. You have to know that.
Kidd: Of course I know I don’t need your help with some test. I needed you to do what you do best: To tell me, ‘You got this, Stella Kidd.’ And to pick me up when I’m feeling low, and instead, you shut down on me. You shut down on me like the bad old days.
Severide: This attitude of yours is exactly why I know you got this, Stella Kidd, and it’s why I know how badly I screwed up, and it’s why I’m never gonna let you go away from me again.
Kidd: You are not the decider. And pretty soon, we’re gonna be in the same rank, so listen up. I am the one who’s never going to let you get away again.

Mackey: So are you going to tell me what’s going on with you and Casey because when we ran into that Sydney girl, you were pretty spun out.
Brett: We had a brief complicated thing, and I guess I was a little hurt to see how quickly he got over it, even though I’m the one who told him to. Honestly, I just want him to be happy.
Mackey: Well girl, clearly you need to get out and have some fun on your own.

Brett: Hey, um, I know I asked for space, and you’ve been really great about that, but it’s been a while, and it’s nice just to talk again, you know?
Casey: Yeah, it is.

Mackey: See, that’s why we’re so good together because when it matters, we give it all we got.
Gallo: See, I thought it was the crazy chemistry. So what is this you and me? Not that it has to have a label or anything.
Mackey: How about no rules, just fun.
Gallo: I like that except maybe, one rule. Cruz can never know this happened, which means we can’t tell anyone at the firehouse.
Mackey: I’ll think about it.

Casey: I thought I should explain. I’ve been a little out of sorts lately, mind elsewhere.
Gallo: Yeah, well, sure. No worries.
Casey: This isn’t an apology.
Gallo: Right, of course.
Casey: The fact is Gallo I’m your captain. I’m answerable for your safety. Losing a firefighter is the worst thing that can happen to an officer, and I would know. If anything had happened to you under that canopy, I wouldn’t have even known you were there. I couldn’t have done a thing to help you. You robbed me of my accountability, and that can’t happen again.
Gallo: It won’t. I swear.
