Chicago Fire season 14, episode 3 recap: Is it time to learn about Vasquez’s dad?
Pascal has bad news about Engine, while Vasquez struggles to deal with his dad.
There are many questions about Vasquez, and we have plenty of concerns about Firehouse 51 going into Chicago Fire season 14, episode 3. It doesn’t take long to get some details.
The episode opens with Vasquez waiting in line to, presumably, see his father in prison. However, there’s a message over the tanoy to say that visitation is over. Of course, Vasquez kicks off, and we immediately cut to Pascal getting a call. And it doesn’t seem all that surprised, but he is annoyed.
There is a chance for her to connect when she finds out that a pen exploded on the bed. Isaiah had tried to tape his shoes together, and Stella thinks she should take him shoe shopping. There’s something about his connection to the shoes that must mean something.
Where is Mouch in Chicago Fire season 14, episode 3?
The call to Pascal had nothing to do with Vasquez, though. It was to say that Engine was being pulled, and Mouch and his team was being called home (with just two hours notice) so that explains why Mouch isn’t around for the episode. However, it will mean stress on the rest of the team.
In fact, the first call is to an accident that involves an ambo. Naturally, Violet worries about the driver in the ambo, and I can’t help but feel like this is something bigger to highlight the dangers of longer shifts.
Violet does as she’s ordered and focuses on everyone involved in the accident, but she can’t help but check on the paramedic who was driving the other ambo. Things aren’t looking great, but she needs to get her patient to Med first.
Herrmann tries to offer Kidd some advice about handling Isaiah, and it turns out that one of his sons quit the soccer team without saying anything. Cruz also shares some of the downsides of having a teenager, but honestly, are these two really the people to take advice from? Sometimes, they have the worst!
Pascal isn’t happy about losing Engine, so he’s decided he’s heading to City Hall to talk to the deputy district chief. He’s not letting this become the norm.
