Grissom: The Commissioner Who Came in Like a Lion, Went Out Like a...Well, Not Quite a Lamb
So, let’s talk about Commissioner Grissom, shall we? The man who waltzed into the Chicago Fire Department like he owned the place, and then…well, let’s just say he didn’t exactly leave on a wave of applause.
Grissom: A Brief History of Chaos
Remember when Grissom first showed up? All slick and shiny, promising to shake things up. And boy, did he deliver! He was like that overbearing uncle who comes to visit and “helps” with everything, but ends up making more of a mess. Remember Gorsch? That was Grissom's doing, folks. A masterstroke of management, that one wasn’t.
Did Grissom Actually Stay?
Let’s cut to the chase: No, Grissom is not the Commissioner anymore. He’s off doing whatever it is ex-commissioners do. Probably golfing and complaining about the younger generation.
But here’s the thing: while he’s gone, his legacy lives on. Every time something goes wrong at Firehouse 51, we can’t help but wonder if it’s Grissom's fault from beyond the grave. It’s like that old saying: “Out of sight, out of mind, but still somehow causing trouble.”
Life After Grissom: A Breath of Fresh Air?
Thankfully, the Firehouse has managed to survive the Grissom era. It’s like a resilient plant that’s somehow blossomed despite being trampled on. But we can’t help but wonder: what if there had been no Grissom? Would Boden still have all his hair? Would Casey have found love sooner? These are the questions that keep us up at night.
