Fans of Chicago Fire are on edge after the latest teaser for Season 13, Episode 3 dropped, hinting at a possible departure from Firehouse 51. The shocking promo, combined with the events of Episode 2, has led to widespread speculation that a major character, possibly Kelly Severide (played by Taylor Kinney), could be leaving the show.
Episode 2 Ends with Tension Between Severide and Damon
Spoilers ahead for Chicago Fire Season 13, Episode 2.
The second episode of the season ended with a tense confrontation between Severide and his half-brother, Damon. Throughout the episode, it became clear that their relationship was complicating Severide’s decision-making on the job, and this came to a head after a risky rescue mission.
During a call to save a woman trapped under a boat, Damon ignored a direct order from Lieutenant Kidd (played by Miranda Rae Mayo), rushing into action without permission. Though Damon later claimed he hadn’t heard the command, he privately admitted to Severide that he had intentionally disregarded it out of a desire to prove himself. Severide initially covered for Damon, but after a conversation with Cruz (played by Joe Minoso), who warned him about the dangers of trying to protect family members, Severide confessed the truth to Kidd.
This betrayal set off a domino effect. Kidd was understandably upset, not just with Damon but with Severide for covering up his brother’s mistake. The episode ended with Severide telling Damon that one of them would have to leave Firehouse 51, leaving fans wondering if Severide might be the one to go.
Teaser for Episode 3 Sparks Departure Rumors
The teaser for Episode 3 only added to the uncertainty. In the promo, Chief Pascal can be heard telling someone, “You’ve broken my trust. I’m dismissing you from this firehouse.” The scene then flashes between Severide, Kidd, and Damon, implying that one of these characters may be forced to leave Firehouse 51.
While all three are shown, fans are particularly concerned that it’s Severide who could be in the most danger. In the season premiere, Chief Pascal expressed concerns about Severide and Kidd both working at the same firehouse due to a city ordinance that discourages immediate family members from serving on the same shift. Though Severide assured the chief that they had the situation under control, Pascal wasn’t convinced and made it clear he would be keeping an eye on things. With tensions now rising between Severide and Damon, and the truth about their relationship potentially coming to light, fans worry that Pascal may force Severide out.
Will Severide or Damon Leave 51?
The promo suggests a major shakeup is coming to Firehouse 51, but it’s still unclear who will be leaving. Severide’s complicated relationship with his half-brother Damon, and the recent revelations about Damon’s behavior on the job, make it possible that Chief Pascal could fire Damon to resolve the issue. However, Severide’s loyalty to his family and the tension it’s caused with Kidd and the rest of the team leave open the possibility that he might decide to leave of his own accord.
One thing is for certain: Episode 3 promises to be a dramatic turning point. Fans will have to wait until Wednesday, October 9, to find out if Severide, Damon, or Kidd will be the one to walk away from Firehouse 51.
