The big Chicago Fire two-hour movie event is airing this Thursday, March 22, from 9-11pm ET. One Chicago fans have been on pins and needles waiting to find out who in the firehouse is pregnant and… *gulp* who gets shot.

But if you want to know what specifically to expect when you watch it, keep reading for an exact minute-by-minute account of how the night that I watched it went down.
