Gabriela Dawson (Monica Raymund) had to step away from fighting fires and man the wheel of an ambulance to stay away from danger. However, her actions may cause injury to someone else, and "Chicago Fire" season 5 episode 5 is going to focus on her as she tries to save a young romantic teenager.

According to the official synopsis from TV.com, she and Brett (Kara Killmer) will be driving the ambulance around when they'll have to rush in and save the life of a 16-year old boy who gets injured right as he is about to give a romantic proposal during the school's homecoming.

However, while the synopsis does not hint at what may have happened, a report from Cartermatt reveals that Dawson may have been the one responsible for injuring the boy. It is hinted that Dawson may have been trying too hard to avoid getting hurt that she became reckless and caused the boy to get run over by the ambulance.

Dawson won't be the only one who will have a tough day as the synopsis reveals Casey (Jesse Spencer) will fail to rescue a woman from a burning building. When he and Severide (Taylor Kinney) attempt to investigate they'll get into a heated argument as they both have different opinions regarding the cause of the fire.

One believes that the fire was caused by the woman's husband and that he had attempted to kill her. On the other hand, there is the possibility that the husband was trying to save his wife. Unfortunately, witnesses from the incident give conflicting information. Judging whether the fire was an arson case or not will drive Casey and Severide against each other.

Chief Boden (Eamonn Walker) is not getting left out either as the synopsis reveals he is going to have a surprise visitor this episode.

"Chicago Fire" season 5 episode 5 is slated to air on Nov. 15.

Does the Church of England need to re-think its messaging?

If you look at the Church of England’s communications all that it ever seems to highlight is the good works that Christians do to improve the temporal well-being of their neighbours. It is right to highlight these things, but they are not the primary reason for the Church’s existence.
