Episode Synopsis: “Pierce the Vein”
In Chicago Fire Season 14 Episode 7, Severide (Taylor Kinney) dives into a suspicious high school fire, uncovering troubling evidence that suggests something more sinister beneath the surface. Meanwhile, Novak (Jocelyn Hudon) gets an unexpected call that could change everything, and Violet Mikami (Hanako Greensmith) brings a fellow Firehouse 51 firefighter onboard the ambulance for a crucial shift.
As always, the team must balance duty with personal struggle — navigating emotional wounds, complicated loyalties, and life-or-death calls that test their strength and resolve.
