Biography[]
Season 6[]
Hope came to visit Sylvie in Chicago for a few days, developing a relationship with Kelly Severide. (It Wasn't Enough)
Stella Kidd begins to distrust Hope after Severide develops a relationship with her and being constantly around the house, thinking that she might be running away from something. (Ignite on Contact)
Hope takes up a position at firehouse 51 as their receptionist, alongside Connie. She decides to break off her relationship with Severide while she gets started at her work. Connie gets a call from Hope's previous place of employment stating that Hope was accused of stealing $10,000. (An Even Bigger Surprise)
Hope tells Sylvie that she didn't steal anything, but that she had an affair with her boss which went sideways and led to her being accused of stealing which is why there weren't any charges made against her. Sylvie trusts her, though Kidd is still skeptical of her. (A Breaking Point)
Hope hands everyone their paycheck, aside from Kidd's which she says is missing. Kidd thinks that Hope is messing with her or possibly stealing, especially given the rumors. Hope works hard to fix the issue and gets a new check for Kidd, which Kidd is impressed by. Sylvie, however, is more skeptical and questions her about making sure she's not trying to make herself look like a hero, which she says she isn't.
Later, when she's alone in the office, she shreds an envelope which contains Stella Kidd's original paycheck. (Devil's Bargain)
Matthew Casey was concerned about how Stella Kidd had randomly been transferred to the PR unit and so looks into her transfer. It was signed by Chief Mullins and so Casey goes to ask him about it, only to find that Mullins never signed the order. The order was forged by Hope, as similarities could be seen between her handwriting and the signature given. She tried to explain herself, but just ended up getting tongue tied and so Boden ordered her to pack up her desk and leave immediately. As she was heading to her desk, Connie saved her the hassle and brought her stuff to her. She left Firehouse 51 frustrated.
She tries to explain herself to Sylvie by saying that she believed she was doing the right thing for women, but that her actions were twisted, but Sylvie just shouts at her and walks away, later calling Hope her 'former friend' and ignoring the messages Hope continues to send. (Down Is Better)

She finds Sylvie with her fiancé Kyle at the market, quickly thanking Kyle for bringing Sylvie back home and Sylvie reminds him that she previously told him about Hope, something he realizes. She notes that sounds bad and offers lunch with Sylvie to catch up, something Sylvie tries to avoid but is pushed into by Kyle and Hope is excited. At lunch, Hope shows she is remorseful for her acts and reveals that at the time she was in Chicago, she had just gotten out of an abusive relationship. They make amends. (A Real Shot in the Arm)
