6 ‘One Chicago’ Relationships We’ll Be Thinking About During the Olympics Break
The relationships of One Chicago have us hooked as much as the heart-stopping surgeries, rescues and investigations these first responders face every episode, so is it any wonder that at least one of the surprising moments heading into a month-long break for the Olympics was a kiss?
Chicago Med, Fire, and P.D. all aired their last episodes before NBC’s coverage of the Winter Olympics (February 4-20) takes over the network’s primetime lineup on January 19. For the doctors, there are at least two romances on the horizon… if the pairings can take the necessary steps forward. Two of Firehouse 51’s lieutenants finally seem to be on the path to a (spring?) wedding this season, while one of its paramedics may be starting a new romance. And for Intelligence, will bliss last for newlyweds, and will exes remain in limbo?
Scroll down as we take a look at the six relationships across the One Chicago universe that will be on our minds for the next month.
Chicago Med, Returns, Wednesday, February 23, 8/7c, NBC
Chicago Fire, Returns, Wednesday, February 23, 9/8c, NBC
Chicago P.D., Returns, Wednesday, February 23, 10/9c, NBC
Dr. Will Halstead & Dr. Stevie Hammer, Chicago Med
Will (Nick Gehlfuss) and Stevie (Kristin Hager) might not have gone to the gala together at the end of the latest episode, but she is in the process of finalizing her divorce (a recent surprise for him). And really, the two have shared enough significant moments that we’d be surprised if something doesn’t happen between them before the end of the season. (However, with Will’s luck, we can’t help but think that something will happen to complicate things.)
Dr. Crockett Marcel & Dr. Pamela Blake, Chicago Med
Marcel (Dominic Rains) and Blake (Sarah Rafferty) may have kissed in the winter finale, but “hot and cold” is the best way to describe the two — just in the latest episode! She turned down his offer to meet for drinks before the gala at the beginning, then, after he rescued her when her entire surgical team was poisoned, asked him to take her home. We wouldn’t be surprised if come February 23, we’re seeing these two doctors having coffee one morning in one of their homes.
Lieutenant Kelly Severide & Lieutenant Stella Kidd, Chicago Fire
Though there has been some tension over Kidd’s (Miranda Rae Mayo) recent absence, they’re very much back on track for a wedding this season. In fact, he (finally!) gave her a ring in the latest episode after the two got engaged last season. “I am the luckiest man in Chicago,” Severide (Taylor Kinney) told her. With it seemingly up in the air if she even wanted to marry him — a cliffhanger following her return that was quickly resolved — that certainly suggested that we should be seeing them planning for the ceremony soon.
Violet Mikami & Chief Hawkins, Chicago Fire
Ever since Hawkins (Jimmy Nicholas) stayed by Violet’s (Hanako Greensmith) hospital bedside when she had her appendix removed, it felt like things were building to the kiss they shared at the gala. But what will that mean for them when the series returns? After all, he is her boss, not to mention her complicated past with Gallo (Alberto Rosende).
Detective Jay Halstead & Detective Hailey Upton, Chicago P.D.
Have things been too easy for newlyweds Halstead (Jesse Lee Soffer) and Upton (Tracy Spiridakos) since they eloped after putting everything on the table they’d been hiding from one another? Maybe. We’re looking forward to seeing how the partners handle their first challenge at work as a married couple after seeing what they’ve gone through in the past, and chances are that will happen at some point this season.
Officer Kim Burgess & Officer Adam Ruzek, Chicago P.D.
Will Burgess (Marina Squerciati) and Ruzek (Patrick John Flueger) be labeled “it’s complicated” for the foreseeable future? Before Makayla’s uncle popped up seeking custody — that has yet to be resolved — they had been planning to move into a three-bedroom apartment so Ruzek could stop sleeping on the couch. But with that uncertainty about the child they’re raising together, it doesn’t seem likely that any steps forward will be taken for the exes anytime soon.

I could see Kim and Adam actually getting married if it would help her keep mikayla

C
I think so too.

I don't see Adam and Kim together anymore enough of those two they deserves better than each other. I sure hope that Violet and Evan Hawkins relationship between them turned out like another Brett and Granger. Violet and Cheif Hawkins deserves each other he seems more suited for her than Gallo. I wish April was there to be Ethan's support and his shoulder to cry on when his father died. And Marcel needs to choose which woman he wants to be with Dr Blake or her daughter.

Kim and Adam truly love each other, we have season 10 to get them together for good. I just have a feeling Upton may be hurt to the extent she may have to leave.

I don't feel anything for Hawkins and Mikami. He's cute, and I love Violet. It's just so predictable. I saw this coming when he stayed by her side in the hospital, after her appendix burst. It was so obvious, and it actually bores me. The fact everyone is going crazy over them is why I can't. They're already overrated.
I'm not here for another man in a position of authority abusing his power to date his subordinate, especially not in 2022. I don't care if he's young and cute. I don't want them ruining Hawkins. He was so by the book when we first met him that he was going to suspend Brett for not going through the proper protocols, after Herrmann called her directly while she was on another call, since dispatch said the next ambulance would take 15 minutes. Now, you expect me to believe he's going to completely disregard the rules to date one of his paramedics when he's the PARAMEDIC CHIEF? No thank you.
The biggest problem though is that this would not be allowed in reality. It's not like Casey dating Dawson or Brett. Hawkins is the PARAMEDIC FIELD CHIEF. Either he has to resign or Violet has to quit being a paramedic. Otherwise, one or both of them will get fired. Violet already doubted whether she deserved her award, because of his feelings for her. She will be the one suffering if they date. Everyone will assume anything she earns is only because she's dating the paramedic chief. She doesn't deserve that. As a Violet fan, I am not down with it.at

It's the same reason Upstead shippers shouldn't be so eager for Jay to make Sergeant and run Intelligence. There are a few issues with that:
1) Aside from Hank telling Jay it would be his one day in 6x22, Jay has expressed no interest in becoming Sergeant or running Intelligence.
2) Jay's behavior towards Hank in 9x07 (as well as punching him in 9x04) proved that he's not ready to run his own unit. Until he gets that temper under control, he shouldn't be running anything.
3) Upstead shippers just complained last week about Jay working with Hank in 9x12 (even though Jesse previewed this after the fall finale) and Hailey working with Kevin. They were paranoid the partnership was being split up. Some just want it to be the Upstead show, because they complained that episodes are boring when they aren't focused on them. #rme
If Jay took over Intelligence, Hailey would have to transfer to a different district. He can't be his wife's supervisor. The partnership would end, which is exactly what they were complaining about last week.
4) As long as Jason is on this show, Jay's not running Intelligence anytime soon. That'll only happen if Jason leaves or when the show goes off the air.

5) While Upstead shippers have convinced themselves 9x12 was setting up "Sergeant Jay," that's just not true. It's wishful thinking. I'll take the word of Jesse Lee Soffer, the guy who actually plays Jay and gets the scripts. He said himself after 9x09 that it's not happening anytime soon, because Hank isn't retiring yet.
Yet, fans are all "I don't believe him." lol It doesn't matter if you believe him, he knows more than you do. Gwen Sigan isn't setting up Jay taking over the unit anytime soon. She's simply making good on Hank treating Jay as an equal. And, she did it well.
6) The whole reason Dawson was allowed to work under Casey was because they weren't married. Boden specified that. He said as long as they weren't married, Dawson could stay on Truck. By the time they did finally get married in the 100th episode, Dawson was back to being a paramedic. So, it wasn't an issue.
Once again, JAY CAN NOT BE HIS WIFE'S SUPERVISOR. If he runs Intelligence, Hailey has to transfer to another district. That's the last thing Upstead shippers want, so they really shouldn't be pushing so hard for Jay to be promoted.
Bottom line: If Hawkins and Mikami date, it won't last very long. He's her chief. They'd both be fired, unless he resigns or she quits. Jay isn't taking over Intelligence anytime soon. If he did, Hailey would have to transfer out. You can't be your spouse/significant other/fling's supervisor.

Stella and Kelly is on fire 🔥
The chemistry is there, why take that away. Stella had a rough marriage with grant. Kelly really never found the right one. Both of them get each other. Always lifting each other. We need this in the show. It’s healthy , I’ve watched every season and i have to say seeing Kelly light up when he’s with Stella shows a different side of kelly. He’s truly in love with Stella and Vice Versa. Hoping for a wedding and to bring back some of the old cast to attend the wedding would be awesome. Like Dawson, Casey, peter mills and others.

I miss Jesse Spencer very much but I respect his reasons for leaving, Family should always be the priority and working 14 Hour days would make it impossible to enjoy time with a new baby. Jesse started on a tv series at age 15 and after about 5 years. He went to England doing short gigs in theatre, he came to the States and fortunately landed on two great shows. His young wife has probably spent the last 12 years working on her undergrad, graduate and the doctoral class work and doing research to write a thesis. After all those years in academia, she’s finally been able to lead researc studies to conduct. They sound fascinating, good luck to Jesse and Kali. I wish them many years of good health and happiness. Best of luck to them and their baby,

I’m still thinking about Casey and Brett and how the writers could write Casey back into the series in a couple of years. Perhaps when the Darden boys are out of high school, Casey could suffer an injury that will keep him from fighting fires but allow him to take an admin. job where he’s responsible for several houses including 51. He can have meetings there and visit his Sweet Brett. It could be a recurring role so he doesn’t work 14 hour days but spend more time with the baby.
