Spoilers ahead for Episode 16 of Chicago Fire Season 11, called “Acting Up.”
Chicago Fire definitely isn’t ignoring the absence of Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney) since the Squad lieutenant left Chicago to participate in an arson investigation training program in Alabama. As expected, Stella (Miranda Rae Mayo) is struggling with the absence of her husband, but she wasn’t the only one at Firehouse 51 who was really missing him. Joe Cruz (Joe Minoso) has had to step up to lead Squad, and went through a lot of challenges before finally proving his mettle as a leader. While that’s great news for now, I can’t help but wonder if it’s bad news in the long run.
