After an unsettling cliffhanger on the fall finale, Cruz’s past continues to haunt him in Chicago Fire Season 13 Episode 9, “A Favor.”
Flaco’s cousin is out of jail and seems to be seeking revenge. Flaco, if you’ll recall from Chicago FireSeason 1, was left to die in a fire thanks to Cruz, all as a way to save his brother.
Now, Cruz could be in danger because of it.
