Meanwhile, Stella is on the edge because of Severide’s newly revealed brother. In Season 13, Episode 2, “Ride the Blade,” Damon disobeys Stella’s orders and runs to Severide for protection. “It looks like it may be just a misunderstanding or a miscommunication, so then to see how it all unfolds, that is where you really start to see things get complicated between Severide, Damon and Kidd,” Mayo said. In her personal life, Stella tells Kelly that she is not ready to have children yet.
“That’s something that Kelly’s character has always wanted. So I think it is one of those things that has the potential to create major tension in their relationship, but so far, he’s very understanding,” she previewed the arc.
In the upcoming episodes, Stella will have a lot to deal with. Watch how she handles everything in all-new episodes of Chicago Fire on Wednesdays on NBC. Catch up on Peacock.
