** Jones has two chips on her shoulder: being a woman in a male-dominated field and being the daughter and sister of prominent members of the Chicago Fire Department. Her attempts at showing that she has what it takes to stand out on her terms only serve to annoy the more senior members of Firehouse 51, who only expect her to keep her head down and do as she's told.
