What to Expect from Chicago Fire Season 14 Episode 17: Sway
With Stella back at Firehouse 51 on Chicago Fire Season 14 Episode 17, “Sway,” we wonder how Hopkins’s treatment of her will be. Considering he is already upset at her and Severide working on the same shift, we can’t expect him to welcome her back with open arms.
Nevertheless, we know Stella doesn’t back down, and even if Hopkins tries to make things difficult for her, she will continue doing her work to the best of her ability. And, in this case, that includes trying to figure out what happened for a surgery center to be set on fire.
Meanwhile, Novak, Violet, and Vasquez adjust to the new dynamics of their personal and professional relationships. We can’t help but wonder if this will be featured during Molly’s first-ever trivia night.
Here’s everything you need to know about this episode, including the air date, cast, promo, and how to watch.
