Firehouse 51 goes full throttle, emotionally speaking.

Duh, you guys!

The more pressing question in Let it Burn, however, is How is Matt Casey feeling?

From the moment C.P.D.

Hes fine, remember?

So everyone JUST BACK OFF.

Unfortunately, the firehouse holds no solace for Casey either.

Matt Casey is angry.

The timing for this isnt great.

Its proving difficult to find the right moment when her baby daddy is clearly focused on bringing down Nesbitt.

Dawson is already freaked out by this pregnancy and what that means for her career as a firefighter.

Firehouse 51 heads out on a call and Caseys real emotions (mainly anger) finally reveal themselves.

Its as horrible as it sounds.

Boden gives 51 the go-ahead to use any means necessary to get through.

For Matt Casey, this means hopping in a parked truck and ramming cars out of the way repeatedly.

Casey goes storming into Mollys and only has eyes for Gabby Dawson.

Somehow resisting the urge to mash her face with his face, Dawson finally tells Casey that shes pregnant.

Theyre both overcome with emotion: joy, love, relief, exhaustion.

The rest of the hour was filled with what weve come to expect fromChicago Fire.

Severide butts heads with an authority figure, again.

Are these the most innovative story lines to set up in your season premiere?

Its comfort food TV, and Im digging in.
