'Chicago Fire' Season 3, Episode 3 Recap: "When Two Trucks Collide"

On this episode of Chicago Fire, "Just Drive the Truck," the firehouse is out on a call quickly, sooner than viewers would expect. The action ensues swiftly in the episode, with drama following as Firehouse 51 and the Austin firehouse crashing –– instant blame is taking place on the two firehouses.

Mouch is covered in blood and viewers now know that they are in a sticky situation with one truck and fireman down for the count. As panic does succeed, the firehouse comes out strong. Mouch, now rocking an awesome eye patch, however with a corneal abrasion injury.

Cruz in now under scrutiny as the firehouse and police question his driving. Was he under the influence? He has to answer some pretty touchy questions and could ultimately be charged with manslaughter as the driver of the other truck, Molina, left the scene unconscious. This tears Cruz up inside. However, Molina wakes up and he admits that Welch told him to try and beat Truck 81, ultimately ending in the crash. So the blame is off Cruz!

Poor guy.
