Chief Boden is ready to fight for one of his own on Chicago Fire Season 10 Episode 12, “Show of Force.”
After Jason Pelham is fired, Boden goes to bat for him, knowing good and well that it’s happening because Kilbourne has a personal vendetta.
Meanwhile, everyone prepares for a Chicago Fire Department Charity Gala, and from the looks of things, we’re going to get to see some of our favorites from Firehouse 51 get all dressed up. There also appears to be a pretty gruesome incident involving an escalator, so prepare yourselves for that too.
Check out the photos and promo video below for a preview of this episode, which airs Wednesday, January 19th at 9/8c on NBC.
Episode description: Boden, Kidd and Severide work together to protect one of their own. At the Fire Academy, Herrmann meets an inspiring young man. Talk of the annual CFD Gala dominates the firehouse.
