‘Chicago Fire’: Brett Makes a Decision About Her Future With Casey (RECAP)
Spoiler Alert
[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Chicago Fire Season 10 Episode 15 “The Missing Piece.”]
Ever since Matthew Casey (Jesse Spencer) made the move to Portland to watch over his late best friend’s kids, he and paramedic-in-charge Sylvie Brett (Kara Killmer) have been making a long-distance relationship work. However, with the latest Chicago Fire episode, it seems that’s not possible anymore.
After Brett FaceTimes with Casey, Lieutenant Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo) sees paramedic Violet Mikami (Hanako Greensmith) comforting her. “I really, really miss him,” Brett admits. It seems this is heading a certain somewhere, which isn’t too surprising. After all, Casey and Brett had just gotten together before he moved.
Then, while driving around in the ambulance, Violet notices that Brett is distracted. “You don’t have to bury your feelings about Casey,” she tells her friend. Brett admits that she can’t stop thinking about when her late mother’s husband Scott (Jeff Diebold) and her sister Amelia were there last time, and he’d told her that every moment with a loved one is important. Brett has realized, “I need to take some real time off,” not just a quick trip as she’s been doing, and go to Portland to be with Casey.
“I need to spend some actual time with Matt, reconnect,” Brett tells Kidd and Violet near the end of the episode. After their FaceTime, “I just got hit by this wave of all the things I miss about him. That warmth, you know, the way he could be so strong but also kind and he has that gift of making everyone feel like everything’s going to be OK.”
“Navigating long distance relationships is never easy. I think you set in your mind that, oh, we can handle this and then reality sets in and it’s not always what you think,” co-showrunner Derek Haas told TV Insider in December. “However, I will say I do think they’re handling it well, I do think she’s going to go see him before too long this season and hopefully, fingers and toes crossed, we can get a certain actor who has had a long experience on the show back for a guest appearance. That would be delightful.”

I still think she's pregnant even tho reports and the show have said she's not. Have you noticed, since the return after the winter break, she has not been seen without a jacket and I know it's cold and snowing in Chicago, but even inside the station, she always has on a jacket with it buttoned up to her neck. Secondly, she's always sitting or has something in front of her blocking her full body view. And lastly, look at that face...notice how full it's been lately? I mean come on, you can try to hide the belly(and I don't know why she is)behind books, large hand bags, other people and jackets, etc. but that face...can't hide the obvious fullness! Look at some of the older episodes and compare it to how she looks now. She "may" be leaving to "visit Casey because I miss him too much." but I believe it's so she can have some time off away from the show to have her baby. She might come back in a few weeks or months or she may not come back at all. We'll see.

I totally agree with you that she's pregnant. I noticed all you mentioned.

I like Brett’s character, but they have made her much to reliant on having a boyfriend in this series. She’s dated many main characters and always seems hopeless about love.
Her dating her best friends ex husband was strange enough. Now that he’s off the show, they need to end this storyline that should have never even started.
They should pair her with someone she doesn’t work with, let her get married and be happy. Instead, they’ll keep pushing this silly long distance act.

After being a loyal fan since day 1. I see a repeat of what Gabby did to Casey. She left him because she found another calling or purpose. It was more important than her relationship with him. Now he's doing the same thing to Brett. Does anyone see that? Why are the writers doing this.

I doubt I’m the first to suggest this, but in light of all the major fires out west the past few years I’ve been thinking Brett and Matt will head up a new series with Smoke Jumpers out west. It makes sense. The two are very well liked from Chicago Fire so they’d bring a lot of people over to look.

For the most part,I agree with U. But,am I alone when I say that I'm getting tired of Brett's winning about everything or her sticking her nose in everybody's business or relationships. When she can't have one of her own? Remember her trying to give Cruz advice on what he should do after meeting a Woman from his past?

If you don’t like that, then Chicago Med will really get old fast. Those doctors do more meddling than actually healing.

Seager knows perfectly well Kelly is marring Stella,but when Stella left to Boston we all saw Seager try to take Kelly.

Amen to that. I said the same thing. That is totally wrong I don't care if her best friend is no longer on the show. That is one line you do not cross.

I agree with me. I have never liked Kid with Serevide. Get her off the show.

I think Matt and Gaby were were far better suited for each other than Matt and Sylvie. I just don’t feel it between them. In fact I wish she would leave and that would solve everything. Gaby needed to grow up and better understand what a successful marriage relationship looks like. After her stint in Puerto Rico I am thinking she will have learned that and is ready to reconcile with Matt. I think they did truly love each other.

I want Matt and Gaby to find each other again when Matt finishes his time in Portland and Gaby finishes her time in Puerto Rico. Gaby will be a bit more prepared for marriage and a realization that decisions need to be what is best for the marriage partners and not just what she wants to do! I think she is much more destined to be with Matt. Sylvie can batt her eyes at whoever is next to come along! She’s been pretty good at it!

Brett’s character went downhill when she started going for Matt. She said she wanted her own Matt to Gabby, just before Gabby left. She seemed to be eyeing Matt for some time. Let her go. This show is not even interesting anymore.

She was almost pregnant by Gabby's brother and wanted Matt within months of their divorce. I like the Chicago shows, but why do they have to always pair people who work together no matter what? I think they should do more couples like Mouch and Trudy. It gives them series continuity with people who are already cast and is more realistic. I know people meet spouses from work, but does half the workforce on every series need to be a couple 🤔

She never eyed Matt. They had separate stories all the time. They ere hardly on screen together hen Gabby as there. They became friends hen Gabby left and they developed feelings for each other.

That "cute investigator" is horrible. She knows he is getting married and is still trying to weasel her way in. Too many people like her exist in real life.
