The season 13 premiere of Chicago Fire picks up about six months after the events of the season 12 finale,

introducing new changes to the show. The premiere focuses on Boden’s replacement, Dermot Mulroney’s Dom

Pascal, and Sam Carver’s first day back at work following his furlough. The character reactions to Pascal and the

changes he brings to Firehouse 51 vary, with Kidd being quite skeptical of the new chief, while Severide is more willing to give him a chance.

As Pascal settles into his new role, he reminds Severide about one of the Chicago Fire Department’s important rules. The rule states that “immediate family members should not work the same firehouse in the same shift,” which alludes to Severide and Kidd’s status as husband and wife. Pascal seems to agree with the rule but is willing to continue allowing Severide and Kidd to work together since they have done so for many years and are capable of handling it.

However, Severide is aware that if he tells Pascal that he and Jack Damon are half-brothers, he will transfer Damon to another firehouse. This knowledge creates tension and will undoubtedly cause some drama down the line. The fact that Severide is keeping this secret from Pascal raises questions about his loyalty and commitment to his brother.

The conversation between Severide and Pascal sets the stage for conflict in the upcoming season. As the new chief, Pascal’s warning about the family rule may be just a precursor to a future fire call that will test Severide and Kidd’s relationship. The couple has had their fair share of problems in recent seasons, and being separated and working different shifts might be the final blow to their marriage.

In previous seasons, being apart affected Severide and Kidd’s relationship. When Severide was away at an OFI training camp, the distance between them caused tension and led to lies and mistrust. The distance didn’t make their relationship stronger; instead, it seemed to drive them further apart.

The question remains whether Severide and Kidd’s marriage will survive the challenges that lie ahead. Will they be able to navigate the changes brought by Pascal and maintain their relationship, or will the distance and secrecy tear them apart? Only time will tell if their love can overcome the obstacles they face.

As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see how Severide and Kidd’s relationship evolves. Will they be able to work through their issues and come out stronger on the other side, or will the pressures of their jobs and personal lives ultimately lead to their downfall? The fate of their marriage hangs in the balance, and fans will be eagerly waiting to see what happens next.

Ultimately, the outcome of Severide and Kidd’s relationship will depend on the choices they make and the challenges they face. Will they be able to overcome the obstacles and come out stronger, or will their love ultimately succumb to the pressures of their jobs and personal lives? The drama surrounding their relationship will undoubtedly keep fans engaged and invested in the show.
