If we werent already convinced Caseys made of solid friggin gold, this oughta do it.

Bodens method of straight-shooting when it comes to matters like this really doesnt get enough credit.

Hes just not the kind of guy who likes to waste anyones time, least of all his.

Will James make good on his ambition to go into firefighting eventually?

Perhaps, but even if not, we havent seen the last of him, thats for sure.

He knows the Boden house is filled with family and he belongs just as much as anyone else.

NEXT: On a lighter note…

The man wantssobadly to be rich.

One of these ideas of his is bound to pan out eventually, right?

Those five kids at home arent going to feed themselves.

Finally, lets talk about Antonio and Sylvie.

Its a little weirder than anyone mightve expected, which is kind of a bummer after all that buildup.

Maybe its long-term, maybe its not.

(On that note, howaboutSeveride finally just admitting hes not marriage material?!

Weve spent how many episodes confirming that very fact?)

Prizes:

ChicagoMVP of the week: Matt Casey, of course.

So, its Casey and Dawson, all the way.
