Mills: From Firefighter to Fry Cook – A Tale of Two Kitchens
So, Peter Mills. The golden boy of Firehouse 51. You know, the guy who could charm a smoke alarm and make even the crustiest lieutenant crack a smile. Well, he decided to trade his helmet for a hairnet and his firehose for a frying pan. Mind blown, right?
The Great Escape
Now, the official story is that Mills ditched the Windy City for the warmer climes of North Carolina to help run his family's restaurant. A noble decision, sure, but let's be real - it's like saying you quit your high-paying job to become a professional cat video reviewer.
Some say he couldn’t handle the heat (pun intended), others whisper about a secret sauce recipe that was too good to pass up. Personally, I'm leaning towards the theory that he discovered a hidden room in the firehouse filled with gold and decided to live out his days in luxury. Or, hear me out, he just really, really wanted to escape Boden's endless dad jokes.
A Loss for Chicago, A Gain for Gastronomy?
Whatever the reason, Mills' departure left a gaping hole in the firehouse, both literally and emotionally. But hey, maybe he's the next Gordon Ramsay, minus the yelling and swearing. I'm just saying, if his grilled cheese is half as good as his firefighting skills, we're in for a treat.
So, what do you think? Did Mills make the right call? Or should he have stayed put, fighting fires and winning hearts? Let's discuss this over a virtual beer (or a virtual burger, since we're on the topic).
How to... Handle the Loss of Mills
- How to accept that Mills is gone: Embrace the void. Fill it with endless reruns of Chicago Fire.
- How to cope with Mills' absence: Find a new favorite character. Maybe Severide? Or Casey?
- How to imagine Mills' new life: Picture him in a chef's hat, flipping pancakes and dreaming of rescues.
- How to avoid Mills withdrawal: Binge-watch all of Chicago Fire. Again.
- How to find peace: Realize that while Mills may be gone, the spirit of Firehouse 51 lives on.
