Severide (Taylor Kinney) pulled nothing short of a miracle in the Chicago Fire Season 13 finale. He figured out that Pascal (Dermot Mulroney) was being set up even when it seemed like the firehouse’s chief was responsible for Robert Franklin’s accident. The discovery changed many things, but most importantly, it allowed Pascal to stay as the firehouse’s chief for a while longer.
However, it might not be that easy going into Chicago Fire Season 14. Changes in the CFD are on the horizon as the department seeks to streamline its operations, and according to showrunner Gwen Sigan, no one is really safe. However, “we’ll see him in Season 14, for sure,” Sigan told TV Insider. She revealed Pascal’s evolving attitude towards the firehouse after being with them for a while, saying:
However, Pascal’s not out of the woods yet. “I feel like from that moment moving forward, between that and between the deepening bond with Severide, 51 feels like his home.
And if he blew it, it’s going to be tragic, if he blew it because of his Achilles heel, Monica and he goes after this guy, Severide is going to do everything he can for him, but Severide’s questioned at the end of the day, did he do this, too? So yeah, he’s got some things to deal with to be able to stay at 51,” the showrunner added.
Nobody’s Safe in ‘Chicago Fire’ Season 14
The show developed exit strategies for some characters in anticipation of budget cuts. An auditor spent the day at Firehouse 51 looking for ways to slim it down. Jake Lockett and Daniel Kyri will not return as series regulars in Season 14, but they might not be the only ones. “. . .
We wanted to play because it’s very true to what’s happening now in the world, this auditor comes in and saying, ‘Look, CFD is cleaning house, and things are going to get shaken up,’ and there’s nobody safe in this shakeup,” Sigan said.
