In the series’ official trailer on YouTube, Dawson and Sylvie Brett (Kara Killmer) are seen responding to a routine call. However, their mission takes a dangerous turn when someone from an overpass hurls a rock towards them, hitting their vehicle’s windshield. As other victims turn up, Dawson suspects that a sociopath criminal is behind the incidents, the show’s website states.

According to the official synopsis, Dawson also gets busy with Christopher Herrmann (David Eigenberg) and Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo) as they push Molly’s to be included in this year’s pub crawl. However, Otis Zvonecek (Yuri Sardarov) is not on board with their decision and his reasons for standing alone may be revealed.

The March 28 episode also prominently features Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney), who pulls out all the stops to help Anna (guest star Charlotte Sullivan) get comfortable in her new Chicago home. Matthew Casey (Jesse Spencer), on the other hand, focuses his attention to Alderman duties, especially when a resident seeks his help to manage a certain situation.

Other characters who will make an appearance include Chief Boden (Eamonn Walker), Joe Cruz (Joe Minoso) and “Mouch” McHolland (Christian Stolte). “Chicago Med” character Daniel Charles (Oliver Platt) guest stars for this upcoming run as part of the exciting One Chicago crossover. The epic event started on episode 15, titled “Deathtrap,” when characters from “Chicago Fire” are brought together with “Chicago PD,” “Chicago Justice” and even “Chicago Med” to deal with a massive fire.

The “Chicago Fire” episode, titled “Babies and Fools,” will air on March 28 at 8:00 p.m. on NBC. It also airs on Foxtel in Australia.
