Two women are inside the car – one is ok, the other not so ok. With debris still raining onto Dearborn, firefighters race to saw open the car door and rescue the driver, Julie, who is wedged into her seat. Traffic on Dearborn was reduced to one lane from early morning to late afternoon and stopped altogether during actual filming. Two cars on the west side of Dearborn were made up to look like victims of falling window-washing gear. The episode, Mon Amour, which originally aired on October 17, 2012, can be viewed on Hulu.com.
