What to Expect from Chicago Fire Season 15 Episode 2: Rattle the Cage
Severide and Kidd appear to clash at work on Chicago Fire Season 15 Episode 2, “Rattle the Cage.” In the promo video for the episode, Severide says, “I can’t always say yes to you,” and Kidd appears to reply, “Copy that, Captain.”
Kidd has her hands full with the new firefighter candidates, so it wouldn’t be a stretch to assume that’s what they’re discussing.
Speaking of those candidates, Marcus Burke (Da’Vinchi) and Vasquez are clearly having trouble getting along.
Meanwhile, Violet and Novak treat a patient who escaped from a mental health facility. After treating the patient, they become suspicious of that facility.
This is likely to be a tense episode. The promo video even says, “Tipping points will be reached.”
Here’s everything you need to know about this episode, including the air date, cast, promo, and how to watch.
