Chicago Fire season 13 can redeem itself if it properly handles the rest of the “Severide and Damon are half-brothers” arc. Meaning, more conflict needs to arise. After episode 1, the two are on good terms and happy about having a brother. This must end (at least, partly) and it likely will as the One Chicago universe is nothing if not dramatic.
It’s wonderful to see the two brothers getting along so well at Firehouse 51. However, it doesn’t feel earned because the season 13 premiere didn’t show Severide’s immediate reaction to learning about his connection with Damon.
Severide and Damon don’t have to hate one another. In fact, it’s wonderful to see the two brothers getting along so well at Firehouse 51. However, it doesn’t feel earned because the season 13 premiere didn’t show Severide’s immediate reaction to learning about his connection with Damon. Chicago Fire forwent the awkward part of Damon’s confession, and he and Severide are now friendly and comfortable with one another. The good news is that season 13, episode 1, also featured teases of a future conflict between the two Chicago Fire characters.
