Chicago Fire recap: How does Cruz deal undercover for Voight?
The first episode of the One Chicago crossover sees Cruz go undercover. How does he deal on Chicago Fire Season 7, Episode 15?
Feb. 20 was all about the two-hour One Chicago crossover on NBC. Chicago Fire Season 7, Episode 15 kicked off the crossover with Cruz going undercover for Voight. Just how did it go and what did it set up for Chicago PD?
It all started with an apartment fire. When Firehouse 51 is called out, Boden gets the note there’s a lockbox. All should be fine, except that Casey realizes the keys aren’t there. Fortunately, Firehouse 51 gets everyone out of the burning building and this sets up the story.

Firehouse 66 turns up to the call late, sharing that they would have been there sooner had it not been for a heart attack victim. They were also the ones there to check on the lockbox a month earlier and the keys were there. So, where are they now?

Not the first missing keys
The Intelligence Unit soon shares that this isn’t the first time keys from lockboxes have gone missing. Of course, Chief Grissom isn’t happy that the CFD is being accused of stealing the keys, even when Voight and Halstead share that Firehouse 66 has been called to each of the fires involving the lockboxes when the keys have been stolen — so the keys could be put back.
Cruz goes undercover, despite his brother making it clear that it’s a bad idea, and he gets to know each of the members. Each one seems to have something suspicious about them, especially the lieutenant. However, Cruz writes each of them off, especially the lieutenant who is just struggling with the fact his wife’s cancer is back.
Just as it looks like it’s all over, Cruz sees one of the guys he’d written off early (because he was away getting a root canal) going to the truck. Cruz had already noticed the truck had a stolen lockbox and Cruz watches as the thief passes the lockbox onto someone late at night.

Firehouse 51 without Cruz
Cruz is caught out but by that point, Intelligence has enough to arrest him. From that point, it’s over to Chicago PD for the rest of the storyline.
As for Chicago Fire, the episode was more on how Firehouse 51 struggled without Cruz, while seeing Cruz acting undercover. We got to see how sweet of a guy Cruz is, trying to see the best in everyone and struggling with his undercover mission — I hope the rest of 51 learn why he was really sent to 66!
Severide clearly wasn’t happy about the decision to send Cruz. While initially on Truck, Cruz has become one of the most reliable members of Squad 3. I do feel for Capp when Severide shouted at him, but this moment showed the team player and how passionate about his job is that Cruz is. There’s no way the team could lose him for good!
