It reads: "A major security breach in the city's computer networks forces Firehouse 51's senior leaders to take matters into their own hands. Severide gears up for an arson investigation."
Andy, who is also known for her roles in the movie Pitch Perfect 3 and the sci-fi series Upload, first appeared in season eight of the NBC drama in a recurring role. However, she starred in just eight episodes before her character was written out.

Meanwhile, viewers are still in mourning over the fact that Jesse Spencer has officially exited the show. In last week's episode, fans saw Captain Matt Casey decide to leave the Windy City for three years to move to Oregon and help raise his late best friend's children, with him and girlfriend Sylvie Brett attempting to try long distance.

Jesse's decision to bow out of the series came after 18 years on network TV; he worked for eight years on the hit NBC show House before joining the cast of Chicago Fire.
"I realized I'd been doing TV for a long time, so I added it up… We were coming up on the 200th episode and I called Derek to break the news that it was time for me to leave the show," he told press. "He agreed we should at least get Casey to the 200th episode. It was a difficult decision because I've loved the show from the start but there are other things I'd like to do in the future. There's family I need to take care of, and 18 years is a long time."
