Episode 14 of 'Chicago Fire' Season 10 seems tailor-made for fans of Stella Kidd. Steadily winning over the hearts of viewers throughout the series, the latest episode of 'Chicago Fire' saw the character scale the ladders at the fictional Firehouse 51 of the Chicago Fire Department.

Titled 'An Officer With Grit,' the episode begins with Truck 81 being summoned to an accident spot. They successfully pull off a daring rescue mission, with Severide saving a man who is dangling off a bridge. This is when Stella notices that the team assisting them from Firehouse 72 is filled with amateur members. After a conversation with the Lieutenant of the truck, she finds out that he's due for a transfer soon, and is looking for a suitable replacement who can mold his men into better team of firefighters. This makes the ambitious Stella request Chief Boden to throw in her name as a suggestion during the replacement discussions.
