The crossover begins with a gripping emergency involving a gas explosion in the basement of a public building, which results in mass casualties, evacuations, and a tunnel collapse that traps first responders on the L train. The teams of Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, and Chicago P.D. come together to tackle this crisis in a tense, three-hour special.
Chicago Fire kicks off with Firehouse 51 responding to an explosion. Chief Pascal leads the rescue efforts as Squad 3 and Truck 81 help victims and investigate the cause. Meanwhile, PD’s Sergeant Voight uncovers clues suggesting a planned attack, including oxygen tanks found by Severide and Herrmann.
The situation escalates when attackers posing as city employees are discovered. Trudy Platt assists with the investigation but is ambushed and shot twice by an assailant, leaving her fighting for her life.
Trudy Platt is on the scene to assist with the investigation. In a dramatic turn, she apprehends one of the offenders but is ambushed and shot twice by a second masked assailant. The shocking moment leaves her fighting for her life.
Despite her injuries, Platt manages to make a radio call for help, alerting Officer Adam Ruzek, her husband Lieutenant Randy "Mouch" McHolland, and former officer Lauren Bates, a retired colleague now working as private security. Mouch, still reeling from a personal argument with Platt earlier in the episode, finds her and rushes her to Gaffney Medical.
At the hospital, Doctors Ripley and Lennox perform life-saving measures on Platt.
