‘Chicago Fire’: Will Brett Say Yes to Casey’s Proposal? (POLL)
Is a Chicago Fire couple not only about to get back together but also take a major step forward in their relationship? That’s (partly) how the Season 11 finale left off in May.
Firefighter Matt Casey (Jesse Spencer) left Chicago pretty soon after he and paramedic Sylvie Brett (Kara Killmer) finally got together after seasons of will they/won’t they, and they couldn’t make a long-distance relationship work, breaking up via a phone call. But he did return for a couple visits, including the aforementioned finale, after a possible lead in the Homeland Security case he’d been working.
That coincided with a major moment in Brett’s personal life: her attempt to adopt a baby from a call. She just needed the mother to reclaim custody long enough to make the paramedic the baby’s legal guardian. Though she was still with Dylan at the time, she didn’t hesitate before telling Casey that he wasn’t part of it and while he was supportive, it was all her. (Dylan would, soon after that, break up with Brett since they were in different places in their lives.) And it was Casey who told the baby’s mother all about “the most amazing, caring person I know” when he went to see her with Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo), Violet (Hanako Greensmith), and Mouch (Christian Stolte).
And as all the pieces fell into place — the baby’s mom agreed to the plan — Casey went to see Brett. “Our first kiss was right here,” he recalled, standing at her door. “I got something about a year and a half ago and I wanted to give it to you before I go back to Portland.” With that, he got down on one knee and proposed: “Sylvie Brett, we were meant to be. Will you make me and three kids the luckiest family in the world and marry me?” The finale ended before she gave her answer, leaving us to wonder what comes next until Season 12 (which doesn’t yet have a premiere date, with the ongoing writers and actors strikes).
But what is next for Brettsey? We don’t see Casey leaving Oregon unless Spencer plans to return to Chicago Fire full-time. And, sure, Ben is off to college in the fall, but as Casey noted during one of his visits, some things would have to fall into place before he’d move back. There have been no indications that Killmer could be the next One Chicago cast member — Med said goodbye to original star Nick Gehlfuss in its season finale — so we don’t see Brett moving to be with Casey in Oregon.
But why would a long-distance relationship, even if Casey planned to move back in the near future, work this time when it didn’t before? That simple fact — where each plans to be right now — needs to be addressed before Brett answers Casey’s proposal. And as much as that moment made us smile at the time, especially after Mouch (Christian Stolte) started bleeding out in the hospital (from an on-the-job injury), maybe it’s not the right move for Brett and Casey. Maybe the proposal should instead be what leads to them talking about getting back together.
But what do you think? Let us know in the poll and comments below.

I think that having Sylvie not give an answer right away either way would be a very bad idea. Even worst would be to have her say no. That was the perfect proposal❤️!!!! I know a lot depends on Jesse Spencer’s willingness to comeback to the show, but why push the storyline to that point, only to delay it further. It will upset a lot fans. Sylvie needs to say yes to Matt’s proposal regardless of what it means in the long term for both Matt and Sylvie!!!!
Brettsey Forever❤️!!!!

They postponed Brett’s answer because it’s a cliffhanger, guaranteeing you will be tuned to watch whatever her answer will be. As far as Jesse Spencer returning his comment was if a storyline was a good enough reason he would return. Like he did on the 11th season with homeland security. He never said he might return for good and since he sold his home that he had in Chicago and needs to do the second season of the space race for Disney+, I seriously doubt he would return for good. Whatever Brett’s answer will be and personally I think the writers will have her say yes, I know I will be tuning in whenever the strike ends and they get back to production.

Sylvie Brett will say yes because she truly loves Matt Casey and it would definitely break us fans heart if she did say no. Sylvie Brett most definitely deserves to be happy and what better man that could make her happy and always will be Matt Casey like I've said before no one man not even Kyle, Dylan or what's his name to that she was trying to get over her feelings for Matt Casey for? The relationship between them that I've couldn't stand that made me angry because she got, slept and sided with listening to Stella Kidd. Anyway they've never made her happy she shouldn't have gotten with any of them I know we don't know if Matt Casey would ever comeback but Dylan and Sylvie should of split up the day, the moment and the present that she saw Matt Casey again in that episode or the next episode instead of him breaking it off it should of been her. Matt and Sylvie so belong together romantically and truly loves each other unconditionally and what better way to get those two love birds back together and for him to help rise that baby girl as they're very own and those two boys as well forever.

All I can say is the writers better make up their minds,keep them together or end it once and for all. They dragged this out since the 7th season. I will say that Spencer and kilmer are two of the most professional actors I have ever seen. If I didn't know that this is fictional I would have thought they were truly in love. Their beautiful,steamy, erotic love scene was magical. They savored each other just like they kissed slow. They didn't always have to say those three little words they did it with smiles, touches and looks and boy did they have them. Did I imagine when Matt did his little striptease with his shirt I noticed his jeans were low and it looked like he had no underwear on.
Anyway I love Brettsey and I really hope there is a happy ending.

I’m wasn’t talking postponement as far as the cliff hanger. I was talking about further delay after they come back for Season 12. They need Sylvie to give her answer in the Season 12 premiere, they can’t delay it any further than that and Jesse also said in other interviews he doesn’t know if coming back full time is possible. But as I said previously why push it this far if there’s no long term plan. I just can’t see her saying no or Kara Killmer leaving the show permanently. There’s been no indication of that. Brettsey Forever❤️!!!!
