Dawsey fans, this is your moment. The Chicago Fire 100th episode is pivotal for many characters, but especially for Dawson (Monica Raymund) and Casey (Jesse Spencer) as they share a major moment together in the milestone hour.
Raymund tells E! News that the fan-favorite couple has a surprise for you. "Everybody is going to want to tune in, especially the Casey-Dawson fans, because we have a surprise that will finally make everybody be able to sleep at night," she teases.
The couple's relationship has been strong this season (and they're raising possibly the most adorable foster child ever together), but they have had a wrench thrown in the mix after Dawson's parents' disastrous anniversary party-turned-divorce announcement.
"You would have to fact-check it, but I believe it's over 50 percent of people's parents are divorced now. I am a child of a divorced family, and I was an adult when my parents split up," she reveals. "I have the experience of finding out that your parents are no longer together. It sucks. It always does when you find out your parents are splitting up. But as an adult when that happens, I found in my personal life when it happened to me, of course I started thinking about how does this reflect on the institution of marriage? Is marriage a thing that I want? What does it mean for relationships?"
She continues, "When you have a union you think is just embedded in such a strong foundation, and then it's disrupted so strikingly, it really distorts your reality in a way that you didn't know could be distorted. It's a very human, a very common thing that people deal with in our country, divorce. But dealing with it as an adult child has its own set of problems and trauma."
