Now that Kate is expected to be on the show for a few episodes, viewers are wondering what her future looks like. Ben is currently in recovery, and Kate has temporarily taken his place. And since Ben has proven to be a fighter in every sense of the word, we believe that he will rejoin the team in no time. After all, the writers haven’t given viewers any indication that Ben will be leaving the show.

So, where exactly does that leave Kate? While it’s true Station 19 may be able to work another firefighter in, there’s no telling how Kate’s journey on the show will play out. Only time will tell.

Tune into new episodes of Station 19 every Thursday at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
