Another episode of “Chicago Fire” has caused fan comment, courtesy of two particular characters and their actions … or, in the case of Deputy District Chief Wallace Boden (Eamonn Walker), comparative inaction. A conflict between Boden and Sylvie Brett (Kara Killmer) fires up over equipment restocking, which would be a fairly mundane problem in a lesser workplace, but a crucial mistake in shift-based work where every single tool can mark the difference between life and death. After Sylvie and Violet Mikami (Hanako Greensmith) face a complicated childbirth case which is made all the more dangerous by the fact that their ambulance lacks proper equipment after a member from another team has failed to stock it, Sylvie isn’t happy when Boden won’t launch a full investigation over the matter. In fact, she’s so angry about the situation that she threatens to quit.
Fans have welcomed Sylvie’s fiery reaction to her chief’s inaction with open arms. “I can see why Sylvie would want to leave…and I gotta say, I agree with Sylvie. She has every right to blame the shift before her. Because of the shift before her, and their negligence on restocking the cab…that baby could very well die,” Twitter user @mrandamiller517 wrote. Meanwhile, @FilmSchlDropout favorably compared Sylvie’s attitude to the classic “Chicago Fire” character Gabriela Dawson (Monica Raymund). “Brett is channeling some Gabby rage! I kinda like it!” they wrote.
