Preview — Chicago Fire Season 12 Episode 12: Will Joe Cruz Make it Out Alive?

Chicago Fire, Previews

Things aren’t looking good for Joe Cruz on Chicago Fire Season 12 Episode 12, “Under Pressure.”

It’s the second to last episode of the season, and the promo video shows Cruz being pulled out of a call after, possibly running out of air.

I don’t like the looks of the photos either. One of them shows Violet and Novak tending to Cruz while he’s collapsed.

Meanwhile, the episode should also have some levity as Capp and Tony attempt to break a world record.  

Take a look at the photos and promo video below for a preview of this episode, which airs Wednesday, May 15th at 9/8c on NBC.
