Chicago Fire Season 15 Episode 6 recap: Violet's mother drops a bombshell
Chicago Fire Season 15 Episode 6 revealed that Violet and Jacob were working on the Joint Duty Program to raise funds for firehouses that couldn't afford kits. While Novak suggested a romantic connection, Violet confessed that their relationship was strictly professional.
Squad 3 was called to an accident site, where a motorcyclist was pinned beneath a car. The team rescued the victim, and Novak and Violet dropped him off at Med, where Violet received shocking news. Nurse Kacy congratulated Violet on the generous donation from Margaret Mikami, which shocked her. Violet revealed to Novak that she called Chief Robinson to refuse the donation, as she could not accept money from her mother.
Violet shared her troubling relationship with her mother with Novak in Chicago Fire Season 15 Episode 6. It turns out Margaret tried to bribe someone to get her daughter into Stanford when she was in high school. While Violet believes she could have gotten into Stanford on her merit, Margaret's actions led to her parents' divorce and soured her relationship with her mother.
Upon returning to the firehouse, Violet got an unexpected visit from her mother. When Violet repeatedly refused her mother's invitation to dinner, Margaret revealed that she is diagnosed with ALS and has only a year left. As Violet struggled to navigate this troubling news, Novak assured her they would figure something out.
Kidd tries to help the probies in Chicago Fire Season 15 Episode 6

Another subplot in Chicago Fire Season 15 Episode 6 saw Kidd receive troubling news when she went to HQ to inquire about the placement. It turns out CFD had only one opening, at 73, and Lt. Maletski had offered it to one of the probies at Firehouse 51. Severide and Kidd had the mammoth task of choosing one candidate out of three. But when the duo ran drills to test Hollis, Jansen and Burke's skills, each passed with flying colours.
Severide and Kidd were struggling to decide, and they even asked Vasquez and Herrmann for help.
Amid this chaos, the squad was called to an apartment fire in Chicago Fire Season 15 Episode 6. Severide and Burke geared up to rescue two victims via the building's roof. While Severide rescued one victim, he could not reach the other. Burke, already harnessed, stepped forward and pulled off the dangerous rescue, impressing Severide. Elsewhere, Kidd tracked down a firehouse that needed a replacement for 4-6 months. While it was not a permanent spot, it would keep one probie out of the floater pool.
As the episode concluded, Hollis was chosen for the permanent spot at Firehouse 73, and Jansen was sent to the local firehouse for the time being. Burke was naturally disappointed that he was left behind.
In the final moments of Chicago Fire Season 15 Episode 6, Severide assured Burke that he was passed over for 73 because Hollis was more suited to the squad's leadership style. It turns out Burke was being recruited to Squad 3 as Severide extended the offer, suggesting he has finally found a replacement for Cruz.
