Atwater (LaRoyce Hawkins) and Burgess (Marina Squerciati) are given a new patrol car, but are challenged with keeping it brand new. A run in with a psychotic woman leads the Intelligence Unit to discover a drug smuggling operation which has put several girl's lives in peril. Voight's (Jason Beghe) overprotective act with Lindsay (Sophia Bush) leads her right where he doesn't want as she also helps to keep Justin out of trouble. Meanwhile on stakeout, things get tense between Olinsky (Elias Koteas) and Ruzek (Patrick Flueger) as Olinski tries to teach him the finer points of surveillance.

Voight (Jason Beghe) calls the team to investigate a homicide involving the only witness in a rape and murder case against an extremely young man, Oliver Tuxhorn (guest star Gus Halper). Intelligence looks into Tuxhorn's family and their finances as they try to determine if someone was paid to take out the victim. Meanwhile, Stone (guest star Philip Winchester) offers Antonio (Jon Seda) a job as lead investigator for the state attorney's office, and Burgess (Marina Squerciati) and Sorensen's (guest star Kevin Kane) body cameras capture a bizarre exchange with a man that they pull over.

Lt. Severide (Taylor Kinney) has his strong ideas on who the serial arsonist is, but first needs to find proof to back up his suspicions. Meanwhile, Lt. Casey (Jesse Spencer) adjusts to his new lifestyle in the wake of recent events and Molly's bar is failing, much to the dismay of owners Hermann (David Eigenberg), Dawson (Monica Raymund) and Otis (Yuri Sardarov). Elsewhere, Dawson goes out on a date with Jay Halstead (guest star Jesse Lee Soffer), one of the bar regulars, and Mouch's (Christian Stolte) campaign trail starts to get on track with the aid of Isabella (guest star Mena Suvari), an old friend of Dawson's.

Dr. Manning (Torrey DeVitto) and Dr. Rhodes (Colin Donnell) separately treat complicated cases involving sick babies, only to uncover that the two cases could actually be intertwined. Elsewhere, Dr. Halstead (Nick Gehlfuss) and Dr. Charles (Oliver Platt) treat a homeless man with an upbeat disposition who sheds some valuable insight that prompts one of the doctors to learn a thing or two along the way. Dr. Choi (Brian Tee) has a Navy corpsman follow him for the day as they deal with the toll of gang violence in the city, while Dr. Reese (Rachel DiPillo) tries to understand the delicate balance required in her new position.
