‘Chicago Fire’ season 4, episode 9 preview: ‘Chicago PD’ jumps in to help Boden

Next week, NBC is really staging as many different crossovers as possible with their Chicago-set series, even if it is not meant to be some sort of two-hour event. We already know that Lindsay and Halstead from “Chicago PD” are coming to “Chicago Med” next week, and now, we’re also finding out that a pair of other officers are going to be stopping by “Chicago Fire” with an important mission on their mind: Doing what they can to save Boden from the charges that are against him.

“Short and Fat” is the title for the next new episode, and the synopsis below offers us some details on what is going to transpire:

“Members of Firehouse 51 are less than thrilled when Captain Patterson (guest star Brian White) steps in as replacement for Chief Boden (Eamonn Walker) while he deals with clearing his good name. When Severide (Taylor Kinney) learns of the potential whereabouts of Serena (guest star Ilfenesh Hadera), Chicago P.D’s Officer Atwater (LaRoyce Hawkins) and Officer Ruzek (Patrick John Flueger) head to Lake Carlyle to try and uncover additional clues on Boden’s case. Meanwhile, Herrmann (David Eigenberg) and Otis (Yuri Sardarov) give Freddie (guest star Ralph Rodriguez) a job that keeps him close by and Jimmy (Steven R. McQueen) and Chili (Dora Madison) elicit more attention then either bargained for, causing some friction between them.”

If you find yourselves looking for some more insight from the promo below, prepare to be disappointed. Its purpose seems to be more geared towards giving you a better sense of the danger that is going to be coming up for some of these characters than anything else. We’ll have some other news all about that soon…
