‘Chicago Fire’ Boss Calls 200th Episode ‘Emotional, Life-Changing & Tough to View’
Preview
Consider yourself warned: Tonight’s milestone episode of the flagship Chicago drama “is emotional, life-changing and tough to view,” says executive producer Derek Haas, adding, “It was tough to film.”
The tension ramps up as firefighter Joe Cruz (Joe Minoso) awaits the birth of his baby and longtime battalion chief Wallace Boden (Eamonn Walker) begins to regret having accepted a new position outside of Firehouse 51.
But it’s Capt. Matthew Casey (Jesse Spencer, above) who faces the toughest decisions. “All I can tell you is that Casey will always choose helping others over his own happiness,” Haas hints. If that means leaving those he loves most, that would be upsetting indeed!
As for other cryptic teases, the producer says the episode kicks off a “crazy storyline” for Lt. Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney) in which “we will see the return of an old colleague of his.” And, Haas promises, the final moments of the hour will be meaningful and memorable: “The ending says a lot about how the writers and I feel about a certain character.” ChiHards are already weeping.

Well if Jesse Spencer leaves am gone. And the showrunner takes the fun out of watching the 200 episode which am not. It's supposed to a heart warming lifting episode, But us Jesse Spencer fans are left with heartache not joy.

Jesse Spencer will be missed. He's a big reason why I continue to watch Chicago fire. Really hope he decides to come back.

I just don't feel the spark. Silvie might as well kiss a rag. Tight lipped and no passion. When you love someone you follow them to the ends of the Earth ❤️ Great that Cruz and Cruz named the baby Brian OTIS. That brought a year to my eye😂

I would love to see this, but NBC pulled their channel off of Dish! I haven’t been able to see any of the new season & that sucks!
