Recap of previous episode of Chicago Fire season 13
Episode 16, In the Rubble, centered on Chief Pascal's mourning and refusal to believe that his wife, Monica, died because of a faulty traffic light. His fixation prompted him to ignore concrete evidence and endanger himself and others in the process of an important rescue mission.
Pascal had second thoughts in the last scene of the episode and reluctantly parted ways but let Damon rejoin Firehouse 51. The team afterward attend Monica's funeral, being supportive of Pascal through his loss.
Chicago Fire Season 13 keeps on serving up gripping storylines with plenty of action, emotion, and brotherhood. Episode 17 should mix dramatic rescues with strong character-driven scenes.
What to expect in Chicago Fire season 13 episode 17
In A Beast Like This, Lieutenant Stella Kidd is the star of the show as she mentors a rebellious teenager who is interested in the Girls on Fire initiative. Having started the program in season 8, Kidd has been dedicated to encouraging young women to pursue careers as firefighters. Her relationship with the teenager will be the central theme of the episode.
At the same time, Cruz, Cap, and Tony are eager to test out Squad's new saw, injecting some levity into the firehouse. Violet and Novak, on the other hand, encounter a dramatic situation at a gym when a bodybuilder suddenly collapses. Their medical skills will be tested as they battle against time to save him.
There is still tension hanging over Chief Dom Pascal, trying to deal with his wife Monica's passing. His fixation on identifying someone to blame for this situation resulted in wild actions in the last episode, and Firehouse 51 is still worried about his frame of mind. Herrmann, Severide, and Kidd will probably share how to manage the issue before it puts the crew in danger.
Don't miss the drama—tune in on April 2, 2025, at 9 pm ET on NBC, or catch it later on Peacock or FuboTV.
