What Is Chicago Fire’s “Rattle the Cage” About?
Violet and Novak’s concerns begin after they treat a patient who escaped from a mental health facility. That encounter makes the paramedics suspicious of the facility itself, giving their latest call a larger question to investigate.
Elsewhere, Severide feels pressure coming down from headquarters. The episode puts his professional responsibilities alongside Violet and Novak’s patient concerns, with both stories introducing challenges beyond an ordinary emergency response.
“Rattle the Cage” follows the Season 15 premiere, “New Blood.” Before tonight’s broadcast, revisit our Chicago Fire Season 15 Episode 1 photos for a look at the season opener and the firefighters joining the team.
