Is ‘Chicago Fire’ season 4, episode 10 new tonight on NBC? What’s next for Herrmann

The midseason finale of “Chicago Fire” last week ended with a surprising stabbing, with one of the Dick Wolf franchise’s most-beloved characters in Herrmann being left in a desperate state. Given that Molly’s is the heart and soul of much of the show, would they really want to do away with him? We have a hard time believing it to be so.

Unfortunately, you are going to be waiting for at least a little while to see the next new episode “The Beating Heart” arrive. It’s not airing tonight, and it’s also not airing next week. The show will not be coming on the air until we get around to Tuesday, January 5, and it will air at a special time in 9:00 p.m. Eastern. Why swap this around with “Chicago Med”? Much of the reason is because they need to pick up where the story left off with Herrmann in order for the upcoming crossover to properly work.

Take a look at the just-released synopsis below for some further details:

“Members of Firehouse 51 band together and anxiously await word at Chicago Med when one of their own falls victim to a life-threatening stabbing.  Cruz (Joe Minoso) urgently works with members of Chicago P.D. to track down Freddie’s (Ralph Rodriguez) whereabouts when he goes missing.  Dr. Choi (guest star Brian Tee) and Dr. Halstead (guest star Nick Gehlfuss) tend to an attempted suicide victim whose condition raises some eyebrows.  Meanwhile, Mouch (Christian Stolte) surprises  Trudy (guest star Amy Morton) and Chili’s (Dora Madison) odd behavior has Brett (Kara Killmer) and Jimmy (Steven R. McQueen) worried.”
