Chicago Fire Season 15, Episode 6 ‘Over the Edge’ promises to wrap up the probies storyline and presumably explain to us how we’re keeping Burke and only Burke. Not that there aren’t some holes to fill in the firehouse, because there are. But there’s also a big one on Squad after Cruz’s departure, and it makes no sense for any of the probies to fill it. If anything, Burke could go on Truck.
We also have the shadow of McCaffrey, who will surely come back to bite us in the ass sometime, though probably not quite so quickly. And Severide’s arson investigation, and the Stellaride baby questions and… still a lot of things to answer. But for now, it seems like this hour will give Violet and Lizzie some time to shine, presumably without bringing Violet’s mom into it quite yet.
It feels like a lot of setup, but it’s been enjoyable setup so far. And if anything, this season seems to be building on a lot of stuff we’re interested to see develop. We’re just afraid the show is going to make us wait until after hiatus to really go into them.

Photos
A lot of Violet and Lizzie here, and mostly pictures of what look to be two separate calls, so basically this gives us very little. Also, this episode better have Stella if they’re wrapping up the probies storyline. If anyone has to take an episode off, it can be Vasquez.
Synopsis
Nothing about Severide in the synopsis, even though he features heavily in the promo and the pictures, and not as much about Stella in the pictures or promo, even though she probably has a big plot when it comes to the probies. So, basically, we’re left trying to put all the pieces together. Makes sense that she might end up having to choose one of the probies for 51, as we already know Burke stays. But why would something like that happen? And who’s going to be on Squad now?
Here’s the synopsis for the hour:
The probies take on their last day at Firehouse 51 when Kidd receives shocking news; Violet and Novak begin fundraising for the Joint Duty Program and receive a surprising donation.
Promo
Typically, when we get a promo like this, focused on one moment, the moment doesn’t go as badly as it looks. Especially considering the synopsis says nothing about Severide, so he’s probably fine. He’s gone through way dicier situations. Our question is… what’s next for Squad, and how does the show wrap up the probies storyline?
