‘Chicago Fire’ Promo Teases Major Shakeups at 51 — Who’s Pascal Firing? (VIDEO)
At the end of the latest Chicago Fire Season 13 episode, Lieutenant Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney) told his half-brother, Damon (Michael Bradway), on Truck under Lieutenant Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo), that, after he lied to protect him, they can’t work at the same firehouse and one of them has to go. Now, the promo for the October 9 episode, “All Kinds of Crazy,” teases at least one major change coming to 51.
In the video, at the scene of a fire, Chief Dom Pascal (Dermot Mulroney), gives the call to evacuate, but did it come too late? One firefighter is blown out a window, and it’s not looking good! Watch the promo to see who’s in trouble.
Plus, Pascal tells someone, “You’ve broken my trust” and “I’m dismissing you from this firehouse,” which could be connected or from two different scenes. It’s unclear to whom he’s speaking, but the promo does show flashes of Kidd, Damon, and Severide after.
According to the episode’s description, Severide’s working an arson case again, investigating a fire at a family-owned restaurant with OFI’s (Office of Fire Investigation) Captain Tom Van Meter (Tim Hopper). Also, Pascal questions Kidd’s leadership.
Pascal and Kidd have been clashing since he took over Wallace Boden’s (Eamonn Walker) office. In the premiere, she admitted to Severide that she missed having Boden at 51; he was more than just her boss, he walked her down the aisle. But even so, there was something about Pascal that made her nervous, and Severide agreed there’s something off about him. Kidd continued to have issues with how Pascal was running things in the second episode, with the chief wanting to continue to sit down with the lieutenants after calls to go over why they made the decisions they did.
And it was during one of those sit-downs with Severide that Pascal brought up the lieutenant and his wife Kidd working in the same house on the same shift together, technically against the rules. He could see they found a way to manage it, considering how long they’ve been working together, but he wanted Severide to be aware he’ll be keeping an eye on him. Later, Joe Cruz (Joe Minoso) asked if his lieutenant brought up his familial relationship with Damon; Severide hadn’t. Could that be coming into play in Season 13 Episode 3 and that’s why Pascal’s dismissing someone from the firehouse?
Who do you think Pascal’s firing in the promo? Let us know in the comments section below.

I dislike Pascal and he’s crazy. I think that Damon needs to go, he is putting Severide against Kidd and that should never be okay. Damon just got there Severide and Kidd have been forever. If one of them leave, I will only be watching reruns.

Please tell me Pascal won't make it through the season. He's already unsufferable.

Not sure who Pascal is "firing" but you can clearly see if you pause the video just right that it was Ritter that was blown through the window. So far, not a big fan of Pascal but we should give him a chance to see if he eventually finds a way to "fit in" with 51. Honestly tho, with Boden leaving this would've been the perfect time to bring back Casey and have him take over as the new battalion chief

I agree with sentiment that if Severide or Kidd go, then I don't know if I can keep watching. The new chief is making me nervous too. 🤷♀️🤦♀️🙄

I do not like the new chief. So far since Boden left the show does not seem the same. I will stop watching if Kelly or Kidd get fired

Pascal is not a good fit for the show. The script needs changed to write him out of the show. There are better actors that will be a good fit for Chief.

This was definitely a big shake up! I think Herman or Mouch taking the test is when the season will end that one of them will replace Pascal. Pascal has a shady past and it’s most likely his wife and the guy he punched in the stomach but there’s definitely more to his shady behavior. Let everyone stay at 51, including Damon. Do Not get rid of anyone! Damon is looking up to his big brother Severide who’s a role model because they both had a crappy childhood due to their father. Firehouse 51 is a family and they all can get through anything together.
