Spoilers forward for Episode 18 of Chicago Fire Season 13, known as “Publish-Mortem” and accessible streaming subsequent day with a Peacock subscription.
The April 16 episode of Chicago Fire was hyped forward of time for bringing again none apart from Eamonn Walker as Deputy Commissioner Boden, and rightfully so. He even teased to CinemaBlend that followers would possibly lose one in all their favorites at this level within the 2025 TV schedule, and that would nonetheless be true regardless of no one being killed off in “Publish-Mortem.” Plus, information broke through the episode that two stars are definitively leaving One Chicago on the finish of Season 13, so the Firehouse 51 household goes to look completely different subsequent fall.
Jack Damon May Be Medically Unfit
Chicago Fire switched up its standard format in “Publish-Mortem,” with the officers of Firehouse 51 – together with Chief Pascal – reporting to Boden a few hearth that went horribly improper. One firefighter had been left behind when the burning home was evacuated, along with his life in very actual jeopardy. The present managed to construct the stress by not revealing for a bit of the episode who was in surgical procedure, with candidates together with Cruz and Carver. As an alternative, Damon was the one who was left behind resulting from a variety of components going improper on the similar time.
Luckily, Damon survived and did not even look too badly injured, however his largest concern is not seen. He informed Severide that “There was proof of lung breakdown in my X-ray,” and the medical doctors “will not know the way intensive till I get a CT.” The credit rolled on the episode earlier than revealing the outcomes of the CT. Severide tried to reassure his half brother that there are therapies even when the prognosis is unhealthy, however Damon is aware of guys who “by no means got here again from this.”
Severide promised that he’d be there for Damon it doesn’t matter what occurs, nevertheless it actually seems that the firefighter may be medically disqualified from going again to work on Engine. Just when issues appeared to be going nicely for the brothers after their points again within the fall! So, we may be dropping Michael Bradway as Damon and must watch for affirmation. What we do not have to attend on is the id of two firefighters who’re working out of episodes.
Two Firefighters Are Leaving
In some unlucky timing for any Chicago Fire followers who have been checking TV information throughout industrial breaks on April 16, Deadline reported mid-episode that Daniel Kyrie and Jake Lockett could be exiting Fire on the finish of Season 13. Whereas the present hasn’t formally been renewed for Season 14 on the time of writing, it’ll return with out Ritter and Gallo if it does obtain that anticipated renewal.
This seemingly is not a case of the actors deciding to maneuver on. The outlet reported that Kyri and Lockett’s exits are a part of a push to chop the finances for Chicago Fire, citing sources that state that lots of the longtime stars’ contracts shall be up on the finish of Season 13 and require negotiation. More exits inside One Chicago in addition to the 2 Regulation & Order exhibits on NBC are additionally doable as a part of renewal talks.
These departure experiences come nearly precisely two years to the date from the information that collection regulars throughout NBC’s installments within the nine-show Wolf Leisure world would seem in fewer episodes in a cost-saving measure. Actually, each Hanako Greensmith and Jocelyn Hudon missed the “Publish-Mortem” episode that introduced Eamonn Walker again.
Whereas that is actually unhappy information for the state of Chicago Fire‘s present ensemble, the surprising cancellations of FBI: Most Wished and FBI: Worldwide elsewhere within the Dick Wolf TV universe simply have me hoping for renewals throughout the board for the NBC installments. Hopefully another cuts shall be restricted, however solely time will inform.
For now, hold tuning in to NBC on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET for brand spanking new episodes of Chicago Fire Season 13, between Chicago Med Season 10 at 8 p.m. ET and Chicago P.D. Season 12 at 10 p.m. ET. Cast adjustments are evidently coming to at the very least essentially the most senior one of many three exhibits, and my fingers are crossed that any exits aren’t completely everlasting. You too can revisit earlier episodes streaming on Peacock.
