Stella Kidd: From Firefighter to Fragile Flower (for a Brief Moment)
Ah, Stella Kidd. The fearless firefighter of Firehouse 51. Always charging headfirst into danger, rescuing kittens from trees (probably), and generally being a total badass. But even the toughest broad gets banged up sometimes, right? So, the burning question (pun intended) is: in which episode does Stella get hurt in Chicago Fire?
Hold onto your fire hoses, because we're about to delve into the drama!
There have actually been a couple of close calls for Stella over the years. We can't blame the writers, near-death experiences make for great TV! Let's break down the top contenders:
Season 4, Episode 15: Hold My Halligan (Okay, that's not the actual subtitle, but it should be). This episode had Stella facing some danger, but thankfully, she emerged unscathed. Phew!
The Big One: Season 7, Episode 2 - Going to War This is the episode where things got serious. Stella gets separated from her team in a harrowing apartment fire. Running low on oxygen and pushing herself to the limit, she collapses and is rushed to the hospital. The doctors even have to consider removing part of her lung! Yikes! Thankfully, Stella pulls through, showing her incredible resilience (and maybe needing a stern talking to about following safety protocols).
Season 11, Episode 9: Cliffhanger City Remember that cliffhanger that left us all chewing our nails? Stella and Carver race into a burning building to save a civilian. An explosion rocks the place, leaving their fates unknown! Thankfully, Season 11, Episode 10 brings relief. Stella is banged up but alive, although she has to take a break from firefighting for a bit.
So, the answer is... It depends on what you consider "getting hurt." If it's a minor scrape or two, there have been a few instances. But for a major injury that sidelined Stella, Season 7, Episode 2 - Going to War is the one.
