The “Lift Each Other” episode of “Chicago Fire” Season 5 focuses on family. This has been the long-standing theme of the show and its most recent episode totally represents it.

The episode centers on the Dawson siblings and their parents as they celebrate their anniversary. The siblings were thinking it’s a celebration of marriage, but actually, it's their parents way of announcing that they’re getting a divorce.
