We still have to wait a while for Chicago Fire Season 13, but the moment the screen went black on the shocking Season 12 finale, the theories for the next season started. It could be no other way. Of all the shows on NBC’s hit Dick Wolf One Chicago franchise, Chicago Fire ended with the most shocking cliffhanger, as Jack Damon confessed to Severide that he was actually his long-lost half-brother and he’d come to Firehouse 51 to find him.
But that wasn’t all, as the Season 12 finale also provided a goodbye – for now, for Wallace Boden, who became Deputy Commissioner of the Chicago Fire Department. It was a bittersweet hour, that perfectly set the stage for Season 13 and yet didn’t leave anyone in mortal peril, as this show has been known to do on more than one occasion. This time, fans can breathe easy! Or, more or less easy. There’s still some relationship drama to resolve.
Here are our Chicago Fire Season 13 theories about how the cliffhangers will resolve and what to expect in the season once they do.
Stella and Kelly Decide to Have a Baby
Chicago Fire Season 12 ended with Kelly telling his wife Stella that he would like to start a family, and he’s been thinking about it for a while. Stella’s reaction to his words was one of shock, and they didn’t really get to discuss the idea before they got interrupted by the news that Boden was the new Deputy Commissioner.
Of course, starting a family is a much bigger deal for Stella than it is for Kelly, and it’s important that Chicago Fire is letting the couple take the time to have the conversation before throwing them into an unplanned pregnancy. But the two have discussed their future together as a when, not an if, before, and Stella’s reaction might just be a shock of the moment kinda thing. It’s unlikely she’s entirely against the idea, even if she isn’t sold on the timing.
Either way, Chicago Fire Season 13 feels like the time for the two of them to decide to expand their family, whether it ends up happening right away or not.
