Preview — Chicago Fire Season 9 Episode 3: Smash Therapy

Chicago Fire, Previews

Brett and Casey will discuss what’s next for their relationship on Chicago Fire Season 9 Episode 3, “Smash Therapy.” 

Fans were certainly left with questions after Brett and Casey’s romantic moment came crashing down at the end of Chicago Fire Season 9 Episode 2, when Casey couldn’t offer the answer Brett was likely hoping for about his feelings for Gabby. It looks like they’ll have a lot more to talk about when the season returns. 

Meanwhile, Mouch is left questioning his abilities after a mishap, and Kidd finds herself in need of support from Severide.

Based on what we’ve seen already this season, there’s a good chance that support has to do with an opportunity for her to advance her career.
