Heads up, fellow Chicago Fire enthusiasts! I’ve got some inside scoop on the season 13 finale, titled “It Had to End This Way.” If you haven’t watched it yet and want to remain spoiler-free, this might not be the article for you. But for those of us who are always craving a Firehouse 51 fix, let’s dive in!
(From the passionate heart of a Chicago Fire devotee)
The thirteenth season of Chicago Fire was brimming with highs and lows. Although the finale concluded on a jubilant note, it left viewers pondering numerous unanswered questions that the fourteenth season will need to address. Picking up from where the final hour ended, Chicago Fire’s season 13, episode 22, plunged headfirst into Chief Dom Pascal’s recent predicament. He was being falsely accused of attempted murder, but Kelly Severide firmly believed in his chief’s innocence. Consequently, much of the finale found Pascal and Severide working tirelessly to clear Dermot Mulroney’s character from these charges.
In other parts of the Chicago Fire season finale, Stella Kidd tried to deal with Natalie’s predicament, Sam Carver informed Violet Mikami that he was departing from Chicago, and Christopher Herrmann faced a tough choice concerning his future at Firehouse 51. To sum it up, the episode was packed with action. It didn’t leave viewers on the edge of their seats with a life-or-death cliffhanger, but it certainly leaves fans wondering about what will happen next in Chicago Fire season 14.
10. How Will Severide & Kidd Handle Their Pregnancy?
The Couple Learned They’re Having A Baby At The End Of Chicago Fire Season 13
In the final moments of the season 13 finale of Chicago Fire, Kidd revealed a positive pregnancy test to Severide. Throughout the previous episodes, the beloved pair had been trying to start a family, coming close to adopting a newborn. Unfortunately, at the last minute, the birth mother chose to keep the baby. Later, Natalie entered their lives, and for a while it seemed as if Severide and Kidd would adopt her. However, things didn’t work out that way, as Kidd assisted Natalie in repairing her relationship with her sister, only to discover shortly after that Natalie was pregnant herself.
As Chicago Fire season 14 approaches, Severide and Kidd find themselves at a crossroads in their relationship, with the arrival of a new addition complicating matters. Being firefighters only adds to the challenges, as Kidd may need to step back due to her pregnancy. This could create an intriguing dynamic within their team, as Severide may face different treatment from his fellow firefighters, potentially leading to conflict in the upcoming episodes.
9. What’s Next For Pascal After Severide Cleared His Name?
Pascal Was Proven Innocent
At the close of season 13’s finale, Pascal found himself a free individual. In Chicago Fire episode 15 of season 13, he and Severide uncovered that Lieutenant Vale was the one who tried to kill the man responsible for Monica Pascal’s death. They had solid proof to support their findings, leading to Vale’s apprehension. With no known legal problems looming, Firehouse 51’s chief position is now available to Pascal once more. However, it remains uncertain whether Pascal intends to reclaim his post. The future holds many mysteries for him; we shall see what unfolds next.
8. Will Carver Leave Chicago & Move To Denver?
Carver Wants To Start Anew
In the final episode of Chicago Fire season 13, Carver informed Violet that he was relocating from Chicago to Denver. After fighting his sobriety issues, Carver felt a change of surroundings would be beneficial for his well-being. Since it had been earlier revealed that two characters were departing Chicago Fire after season 13, Carver’s decision to move seemed like the producers’ method of writing him off the show. However, by the episode’s conclusion, it was less certain what plans Chicago Fire has for Carver in season 14.
In summary, the episode “It Had to End This Way” concluded with Carver standing outside Violet’s apartment. After expressing his love for her, he received a reciprocal declaration from Violet. Earlier in the episode, Violet handed Carver a letter detailing her feelings towards him, which caused him to contemplate leaving Firehouse 51 in Chicago Fire. However, based on his actions at the end of the finale, it appears that Carver may decide to stay, albeit in a recurring role rather than as a series regular.
7. Will Carver & Violet Try To Be In A Relationship Even If He Leaves?
Carver & Violet Declared Their Love For One Another In The Chicago Fire Season 13 Finale
In the event that Carver decides to relocate to Denver, the only question left unanswered is the state of his romantic involvement with Violet on Chicago Fire. They concluded season 13 in a contented manner. It seems unlikely that season 14 would commence with Carver and Violet apart, given their mutual affection. Of course, long-distance relationships can be challenging, but perhaps they could make it work, allowing Carver to eventually return to Chicago. Regardless of the outcome, season 14 needs to provide resolution to the ongoing will-they/won’t-they dynamic between Carver and Violet.
6. How Will Chicago Fire Season 14 Write Out Ritter?
The Season 13 Finale Didn’t Address Ritter’s Exit
As a die-hard cinema enthusiast, I’ve always found myself deeply engrossed in the NBC procedural drama, “Chicago Fire.” This series has consistently centered around the lives of the brave souls at Firehouse 51, our first responders who never fail to impress. Over the years, the cast has seen its fair share of changes, but the bond between these characters remains unbreakable, a family that embraces newcomers and bids farewell to those who move on with tears in their eyes.
However, this season 13 finale left me scratching my head a bit. Despite knowing that one of our beloved characters is departing the show, the finale didn’t quite clarify the circumstances under which they would be leaving. It’s a mystery I’m eager to unravel in the next season!
It appears that Daniel Kyri’s character Darren Ritter may not be returning to Chicago Fire for the next season. This was suggested by recent news, but the finale didn’t give much focus to his character. If you weren’t aware of the news about Ritter and Carver leaving the show, you might think that he would still be at Firehouse 51 after season 13. Unfortunately, this won’t be the case, and we will have to wait for the season 14 premiere to understand why Ritter is missing from the new season.
5. Will Chicago Fire Season 14 Bring Back Carver & Ritter?
The Door Is Still Open For Carver & Ritter’s Returns
In the finale of Chicago Fire’s 13th season, neither Carver nor Ritter had a conclusive departure. This means they didn’t die, get fired, or sustain an injury that ended their careers. Given this, it seems plausible that these characters might reappear in season 14, despite the producers planning to part ways with them from the cast on NBC.
| Chicago Fire Season 13 Cast | Character |
|---|---|
| Taylor Kinney | Kelly Severide |
| Miranda Rae Mayo | Stella Kidd |
| David Eigenberg | Christopher Herrmann |
| Christian Stolte | Randall “Mouch” McHolland |
| Joe Minoso | Joe Cruz |
| Daniel Kyri | Darren Ritter |
| Hanako Greensmith | Violet Mikami |
| Jocelyn Hudon | Lizzie Novak |
| Dermot Mulroney | Dom Pascal |
| Jake Lockett | Sam Carver |
| Michael Bradway | Jack Damon |
It seems unlikely that Carver and Ritter will be part of Chicago Fire during season 14. In fact, they probably won’t have regular roles. However, given the way season 13 ended, there might be a chance for the producers to bring these characters back, perhaps just to conclude their storylines effectively.
4. Is Herrmann Actually Satisfied With His Demotion?
Herrmann Is Letting Mouch Take Over As Lieutenant
It’s possible that Herrmann might harbor feelings of resentment towards Mouch in the upcoming season 14, as he graciously stepped down so that his friend could become Engine 51’s lieutenant during the Chicago Fire season finale. While this move was made to help a friend, it also meant a demotion and a pay cut, which isn’t an appealing prospect for anyone. Moreover, Herrmann has expressed his dislike for desk jobs but seems uncertain about continuing as a regular firefighter.
3. What’s Next For Novak & Damon’s Relationship?
Novak & Damon Started Hooking Up In Chicago Fire Season 13
In the TV series Chicago Fire, there seems to be a budding romance between Lizzie Novak and Jack Damon (Severide’s half-brother). As we approach season 13’s conclusion, it remains uncertain if their relationship will develop into something more profound. They have certainly shown physical attraction towards each other, but whether their bond will deepen into a serious relationship is yet to be seen. We can only hope that the writers choose to delve further into their potential romance in season 14.
2. Is Pascal Staying In Chicago?
Herrmann Isn’t Taking Pascal’s Chief Spot At Firehouse 51
It appears that Pascal’s character in “Chicago Fire” will likely remain for season 14, but he may still depart at some point. The city of Chicago holds many painful memories for Pascal, such as the death of his wife. Given these traumatic experiences and his recent ordeal with Vale, there’s a possibility that Pascal might decide to leave the city and start anew, similar to Carver. However, Firehouse 51 has become like a family to him, which could convince him to stay put.
1. Does Novak Have Feelings For Pascal?
Chicago Fire Teased A Connection Between Novak & Pascal
Upon Pascal’s arrival at Firehouse 51, Novak found herself drawn to his charm and couldn’t help but express it. However, she was married and held a higher rank, making any romantic involvement off the table. Still, she might harbor some affection towards Pascal.
It’s plausible that Novak still harbors feelings for Pascal, despite her relationship with Damon. The finale showed her concern for him and her apparent sadness at the prospect of him leaving Firehouse 51. However, we won’t know for sure until Chicago Fire season 14 starts.
