Send everyone! It’s about to get very personal for one of 51’s own in the next Chicago Fire Season 14 episode, airing on Wednesday, October 22. What’s worse: A life may be in serious danger.
The promo for the episode titled “Mercy” begins with a house fire coming in over the radio, and as soon as the address is said, the reaction is immediate. “That’s my house,” Herrmann says and runs. Firehouse 51 rushes to the scene, and it doesn’t look good.
“Annabelle stayed home today,” Herrmann reveals, of course very worried. He rushes inside, yelling for his daughter. Is she in there? Watch the full promo above for a look at the scene in the house. Whatever happens, we know 51 will rally around Herrmann, but that wouldn’t be enough if one of his kids die.
Then, scroll down to see the photos released from this episode. They offer a look at 51 on scene at Herrmann’s as well as back at the firehouse. Plus, see Severide (Taylor Kinney) and Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo) at home with Isaiah (Hero Hunter), whom they’re fostering while his mother recovers. She’d had a setback by the end of the last episode when Kidd took him to see her in the hospital; she needed to have an emergency procedure done to remove fluid around her brain.
But do these photos suggest that things will at least be getting better between Kidd and Isaiah? She’d been worried that he wasn’t warming up to her like Severide and had hoped going shoe shopping, then to see his mom together would help.
The episode description for “Mercy” reads as follows: “Firehouse 51 must band together after a devastating fire catches them off guard. Vasquez [Brandon Larracuente] continues his quest for answers. Violet [Hanako Greensmith] and Novak [Jocelyn Hudon] face an unexpected roadblock in the new training protocol.” In the latest episode, after a paramedic fell asleep at the wheel, causing a crash, due to the CFD changes that have overloaded EMTs with work, Violet came up with an idea: have firefighters, who are dealing with brownouts and being taken off shift for budget cuts, ride with them.
