“Some reporter’s been digging around, asking how I got approved so quickly, implying that you pulled strings,” an emotional Dawson explains to her boyfriend in this exclusive video from Tuesday’s episode (NBC, 10/9c). To “avoid an appearance of impropriety,” DCFS plans to place Louie with another family, whom they’ve already started vetting.

It seems that when Casey dodged the blackmailing alderman’s calls, he made a bad situation worse. Dawson responds by threatening to “bring some hell down on DCFS,” but her beau warns, “You’re not going to solve anything by going to war with a government agency.”

“Politics got us into this mess; only politics can get us out,” the firefighter continues. “Gabby, I’ll fix this. I promise.”
