'Chicago Fire' Season 9 Episode 1: Brett and Gianna's fate lies in the balance, fans pray they don't die
Cliffhangers are never pleasant, especially when your favorite character is in danger. In the premiere of 'Chicago Fire', Brett and Gianna Mackey find themselves stalked by a man, who had tried to shoot them before. The man who seems rather high drives into their van. The episode ends with Gianna and Mackey's van falling off the bridge.
This has been worrying fans about the fate of the two characters. What happens to Brett and the slow burn of a romance with Casey after this? Fans are hoping that he will come to the rescue. In all probability, Brett will be fine, as she has faced situations like this before. She didn't even panic when there was a gun held to her head. "I just screamed!! That pissed off addict ran off Ambo off the road. Brett and Gianna better be okay!! #ChicagoFire," a fan tweeted.

We might not have to worry much, however. Showrunner Derek Haas told CinemaBlend of Brett's outlook this year, "This is going to be more of a professional relationship… with Brett really in a supervisor, mentoring role than as a fast friendship like she has had in the past. She has other things going on in her life."
So, we have hope. 'Chicago Fire' airs on Wednesdays at 9 pm on NBC.
