The latest episode of Chicago Fire will give Violet time to play detective. She might want to get John Watson on the case in Chicago Fire season 13, episode 17.

The promo gives us a look at the Violet and Novak storyline for the episode. Meanwhile, the synopsis goes into more details about other storylines in the episode. We’re getting closer and closer to Boden coming back for an episode, and we cannot wait!

What’s wrong with the gym bros in Chicago Fire season 13, episode 17?

For Violet and Novak, they get a call to a local gym when a man passes out while pressing weights. Next time, he might want to follow the rule of having a spotter, because then he wouldn’t end up under the bar bell!

While that is initially concerning, the case gets even more concerning when the paramedics are called to a house where a man has a rash growing up his leg. There seems to be something to connect the two men — the flag in the gym and the emblem on the other man’s gym bag are of the same thing. Is this something from the past, or is there something dangerous going on that’s affecting former and current members of that gym?

Kidd connects to a troubled girl

While all this goes on, Kidd will get a chance to connect with a troubled kid. This girl wants to join Girls on Fire, so what’s holding her back? Could it be a home situation that is causing problems for her?

We know that Kidd and Severide are going through an adoption storyline right now. Is it possible that they’ll want to adopt an older teen instead of a baby or a younger child? Could this storyline lead to Kidd and Severide finding the girl they want to bring into their home to support?

Check out the promo and synopsis for Chicago Fire season 13, episode 17:

"Kidd connects with a troubled teen interested in Girls on Fire; Cruz, Capp and Tony eagerly wait to try out Squad's new saw; Violet and Novak are stumped by a bodybuilder who passed out at the gym."
