Besides providing a synopsis for an episode which is set to air on May 7 on NBC, the network has also released a sneak peek teasing what lies ahead. “There is a woman in Med, she’s going into labor…” Kidd begins, “And we are adopting the baby,” Severide finishes after her. The couple head over to Med where they meet the woman in labor, but soon after there seem to be complications. To deliver the baby, the surgeons at the hospital will have to perform an emergency C-section on the mother. While Stella and Severide might not be directly involved, the couple are not spared from the tension and pressure of the occasion.
Stella and Severide had agreed that to have a child, Stella would not get pregnant, as she wasn’t interested in that. Adoption was the next cause of action. The sneak peek is a confirmation of showrunner Andrea Newman‘s promise that the show would deal with the question of a child for the couple soon. “[The couple is] on quite the journey this season trying to start their family… In an upcoming episode, they’ll finally get the call they’ve been waiting for. What happens then, viewers have to tune in to find out!,” Newman said recently.
Chicago Fire airs new episodes every Wednesday on NBC. Watch “Cut Me Open” on May 7. You can also catch up with past episodes on Peacock in the US.
