Five years ago we saw Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney) have to finally admit that he was injured and face the consequences. This episode also involved Gabriela Dawson (Monica Raymund) finding a young girl at a rescue call, which might sound a little like deja vu considering that she and Severide just found a teenage girl at a fire call in last week’s episode.
January 10: Chicago Fire recurring guest star Sarah Shahi celebrates a birthday.
Speaking of Severide, this week is the birthday of the actress who played his first major love interest, Sarah Shahi.

That didn’t work out well.

Completing the trifecta of medical drama milestones, Jan. 12 was also the same day that Med aired the sequel to its first-season episode “Guilty.” Maggie Lockwood (Marlyne Barrett) was shocked to see the police officer who had arrested her return to the ED as a patient, and we were all heartbroken when the officer died.
January 13, 2015: The Chicago Fire season 3 episode “Ambush Predator” airs.Three years ago, Severide and Dawson probed the fire that had killed Severide’s best friend and Dawson’s partner Leslie Shay (Lauren German). And Shaft himself, Richard Roundtree, guested as Chief Boden’s (Eamonn Walker) dad. Fun fact: Roundtree would later have a significant role in The Player, which starred Chicago Justice alum Philip Winchester.
January 13, 2016: The Chicago PD season 3 episode “Knocked The Family Right Out” airs.
In this episode, Intelligence investigated a brutal home invasion with some help from Firehouse 51’s Jimmy Borrelli (Steven R. McQueen). Needless to say, it was one of the grimmer episodes of Chicago PD.
January 14: Chicago Justice star Carl Weathers celebrates a birthday.
We’re also saying happy birthday to the legendary Carl Weathers, who portrayed State’s Attorney Mark Jefferies on Chicago Justice. He’s one of two stars who has yet to reprise his role elsewhere in One Chicago; instead, he
