Grow up, Severide!

I'm afraid that I have never liked the character of Benny Severide. In previous episodes he has struck me as as a feckless, immature, self-centred, self-satisfied and probably deceitful blowhard, with no real thought except to his own benefit. This episode does nothing to change that view. Before the introduction of Benny, I had decided that Kelly Severide is pretty much the same personality, certainly feckless, immature and self-centred, and strongly disliked him. I think that with this episode I came to realise that the poor guy is hugely the product of Benny, by either nature or nurture. But there is more to him than that, particularly an innate protective urge, as shown in this episode, and I await his growth in following episodes and seasons. No matter what Benny's failings may be, or how much he may be a model politician, McLeod is worse, and I look forward to her imminent downfall. I just hope that Kelly Severide will grow to full adulthood as rapidly as the scriptwriters can manage.

Trivia
The other firehouse being considered for closure in addition to Firehouse 51 is Firehouse 17 from Backdraft (1991), NBC Universal's first foray into the Chicago Fire Department.

Goofs
Kelly makes a rookie mistake when he removes the rod from the boy's arm. A trained fire Lieutenant would have not left hos phone behind, but even if he had, he would have realized the need to activate EMS. A better plan would have been to run back and either retrieve his phone or stop at an open business to do so.

Quotes
Kelly Severide: How we doing, Nathan? You hanging in there? Hey, buddy, you still with me?
Nathan: I'm here.
Kelly Severide: Don't give up on me, okay? I want you to promise me. I've seen guys a lot bigger and a lot stronger than you give up, and once they do, you're done. You're gone. There's nothing I can do for you. So I want you to promise me, kid.
Nathan: I promise.
Kelly Severide: Yeah, good-good man.
[looks through Nathan's backpack and finds a binder clip]
Kelly Severide: [laughs] Nathan.
Nathan: What is it?
Kelly Severide: Why didn't you... Look at this.
[puts the binder clip on Nathan's severely bleeding artery]
Kelly Severide: So what were you doing, joyriding this thing, anyway?
Nathan: My father... he's in construction. He promised me over and over again, ever since I was little, that he'd teach me how to drive a loader. That was before he left. So I figured I'd teach myself so if he ever came back, I could show him that I didn't need him.
Kelly Severide: I know the feeling, bud. My dad was a firefighter, and now I am too. But I did it without his help.
Nathan: Is it hard?
Kelly Severide: No, it's the best job in the world. Look, I'll tell you what. As soon as we get out here, I'll take you down to the firehouse, and we'll go for a ride in the truck. How's that sound?
Nathan: Cool.
Kelly Severide: Cool.
