- Randall McHolland: Ritter, what about you and Eric?
- Darren Ritter: Eric and I broke up a couple months ago, so...
- Christopher Herrmann: What? How did we not know about this?
- Darren Ritter: Lockdown took a toll. Too much time together in a small apartment.
- Wallace Boden: Cruz just told me about the dressing down that you got from Chief Mercer. Why didn't you come to me right away?
- Kelly Severide: Because it's not your problem.
- Wallace Boden: Another battalion chief comes into my firehouse to jam up one of my officers just for doing their job. That is absolutely my problem. And I will take care of it. I promise you that.
- Kelly Severide: I don't want you to lose an old friend over this.
- Wallace Boden: Old friend, hell. He crossed the line. He's gonna pay for it.
- Kelly Severide: It's my mess. I'll clean it up.
- Kelly Severide: [lecturing a bunch of Fire Academy students] Okay, one quick drill before you go. Over there, we have some thermal imaging cameras. Somewhere in this firehouse, we've hidden a pipe wrench that's been heated up to a couple hundred degrees. First one to find it gets to sit out next time we hump high rise packs up the stairs. All right? Let's go, move it.
- Sylvie Brett: I backed off too quick the other day when you said you were fine. A head injury can be serious. We both know that. You can't just sit around, waiting and hoping that nothing goes wrong. You need to do something, Matt.
- Stella Kidd: So wait, you are gonna give this Mercer kid another chance?
- Kelly Severide: Yeah.
- Stella Kidd: Boden's not pressuring you, is he? I didn't think so, but... then why?
- Kelly Severide: Because, I don't know, maybe there's a firefighter in there somewhere, trying to get out. Why not make an extra effort to see? Because if I do bounce him, it's gonna make trouble for Boden.
- Stella Kidd: Yeah, that's a pretty tough spot you're in. But... I know you well enough to know that you will find the right way through.
