This Wednesday, Firehouse 51 faces a different kind of heat on NBC’s “Chicago Fire.” “Cut Me Open” places the team under the microscope, as a performance efficiency expert scrutinizes their every move. As if battling blazes and dealing with the inherent risks of the job weren’t enough, now they have to worry about being graded on their firefighting skills.

The added pressure comes at a time when the crew is already stretched thin, raising the stakes even higher. Meanwhile, on a more personal front, Kidd and Severide’s path toward adoption takes another turn. The episode sees them forging a deeper connection with the birth mother, a step that could be either heartwarming or heartbreaking.
