Chief Pascal Is Right To Fire Jack Damon In Chicago Fire, But I’ve Got Two Problems With It

Just three episodes in, Chief Dom Pascal fires Jack Damon in Chicago Fire season 13, and while I think it’s the right decision, I have two problems with it. As with the rest of One Chicago, Firehouse 51 went through so many changes in the past year. Despite a rather short run due to the dual Hollywood strikes of 2023, the team experienced several departures. Admittedly, I am sad seeing so many long-time characters leave, such as Blake Gallo, Sylvie Brett, and Chief Wallace Boden, but it allowed some exciting changes for the Chicago Fire season 13 cast.

The latest additions to Firehouse 51 happen to be at the forefront of the storytelling for Chicago Fire season 13, episode 3, “All Kinds Of Crazy.” After the conflict created by Benny Severide’s son, Jack Damon between his half-brother, Kelly Severide, and his wife, Stella Kidd, things get so much more complicated as they are forced to continue working together. I thought it was an organic way of bringing tension in the pair’s marriage instead of forcing their divide about having kids. That said, the story meets its end when Kidd comes clean to Dom Pascal the truth about Damon.
