After 8 long years, a puzzling plot line about Sylvie Brett (Kara Killmer) back in season 4 is finally resolved in Chicago Fire season 11.
Chicago Fire season 11 solves an eight-year mystery about Sylvie Brett. One Chicago’s current year is winding down, with Chief Boden’s people at Firehouse 51 dealing with their respective issues on top of their collective duty to protect the Windy City. For Brett, that means continuing to usher her paramedicine program while also being the PIC of Ambulance 61. In terms of personal life, things appear to be back to normal with her current boyfriend, Dylan, despite Matt Casey’s unexpected return to Chicago. Just when things are starting to settle down for her, however, she is faced with another big decision.
As Chicago Fire season 11 enters its final stretch, however, it introduces a brand-new plot line for Brett. After responding to a 911 call, she and Violet Mikami have to deliver a baby prematurely. While they do a great job with it, they soon learn that the mother’s situation is more complicated than just wanting to have her child safely born. Apparently, she doesn’t want the baby, eventually giving it up for adoption using Firehouse 51’s anonymous door. That is when Brett decided that she wanted to adopt the newborn herself.
Brett’s Own Adoption Explains Her Fixation On The Orphaned Baby In Chicago Fire S11
Brett’s decision to adopt the abandoned child isn’t made lightly in Chicago Fire season 11. She has ruminated about it for quite a while, even dropping by a couple of times at Chicago Med to check up on the kid. As someone who works in their industry, Firehouse 51 members are told to not get personally attached to the people that they help because it could be emotionally draining. For Brett, however, adopting the baby is personal. She explained to Chief Boden that she sees herself in the child because she was also given away by her biological mother who couldn’t take care of her.
This new information about Brett — something that she hasn’t really discussed in the past. The fact that the infant’s mom is the same age as hers when she was put up for adoption motivates her further to take care of the newborn. Aside from its implication on her future, this resolves an eight-year mystery that started back in Chicago Fire season 4. In one of her first calls with Chili, Brett worked hard to deliver another baby prematurely. The mother, unfortunately, died, which got her obsessed with ensuring the newborn’s safety. Nobody understood why she was so fixated on the infant, this revelation in Chicago Fire season 11 explains it.
What Brett’s Baby Adoption Means For Her Relationship With Casey
The trailer for the Chicago Fire season 11 finale reveals that Casey will be back in Chicago in time for the send-off. It’s difficult to be sure what this means for Brett, but the clip heavily suggests that Casey will finally make his move to get back together with her, to the point that he may even propose marriage. Brett adopting the baby shouldn’t be a problem for him, however. It has always been clear that Casey is meant to be a father. The fact that he moved across the country to take care of his late friend’s kids proves that.
