Casey and Severide reluctantly become the subjects of a day-in-the-life photo spread.
After photos of Casey (Jesse Spencer) and Severide (Taylor Kinney) jumping off the roof during a heroic rescue make the front page of the newspaper, Boden (Eamonn Walker) unwillingly agrees for the photographer to chronicle a day-in-the-life story at the Firehouse. Dawson (Monica Raymund) and Brett (Kara Killmer) are on a mission to find out what keeps happening to Gerald (guest star Jonathan Isaac Frank), a frequent flier they know who lives on the streets.
Meanwhile, Herrmann (David Eigenberg) decides to take up life-coaching as a side job and Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo) makes a decision regarding her living arrangement with Severide.
