In the latest episode of Chicago Fire, titled “The Wrong Guy,” the team at Firehouse 51 faced new challenges and personal struggles. The episode, which aired on May 1, 2024, on NBC, continued the show’s tradition of delivering action-packed and emotional storylines.
The episode began with Herrmann, who had recently learned about the ability to track his children’s cell phones. This led to a disagreement with his teenage daughter, who felt it was unfair that her younger brother got a phone before her. Herrmann’s wife, Cindy, asserted that they were not a “tracking family,” but Herrmann couldn’t resist the temptation to keep an eye on his kids’ activities.
The team was soon called to an accident where a car had crashed into a building, dangling mid-air. Kidd and her team sprang into action, rescuing the driver and safely evacuating him before the car fell. Kidd later learned that her program, “Girls on Fire,” was facing budget cuts and might be discontinued. Determined to save it, she sought help from her colleagues and successfully garnered support to keep the program running.
Cruz faced a threat to his family when someone from Javi’s past resurfaced. It turned out to be a fraudulent scheme, and Cruz was relieved to find that his son’s adoption was secure. Meanwhile, Severide stepped in as the ranking officer at Firehouse 51, and Kidd fought to save her program.
