Another week on Chicago Fire, another near-death experience for Kelly Severide.
It’s not that we’re not used to seeing Severide in grave danger, we’re just wondering if the guy is ever going to get a break.
We’re talking about that and more in our roundup of Chicago Fire Season 13 Episode 5 spoilers.
All About Action
The promo released last week shows 51 responding to a brutal crash involving a crushed vehicle and a semi truck.
Naturally, the scene is made more stressful by the looming threat of leaking gasoline.
Like the hero he is, Severide throws himself right into the deep end, diving into the crushed car to rescue the driver.
And look, I don’t think any of us believe that Kelly Severide is going to be killed off in a random episode, so I’m not that worried.
But that doesn’t mean it won’t be a tense hour.
Chicago Fire Season 13 Episode 5 Spoilers: Ride, Stellaride
Stellaride will be getting some screen time together this week as they research the company responsible for the truck accident.
Apparently, this isn’t the first time one of their trucks has been behind a crash like this.
Fans of the couple will be excited to see them working this closely together again; it’s been a while!
These two are in a stronger place than ever after some family issues threatened to tear them apart.
Damon couldn’t come between them, and Severide is determined to give Stella all the space she needs to decide if she wants a baby, so they’re on solid ground.
It’s a good thing, too, because the show is so much more enjoyable without unnecessary relationship drama.
A Fan Favorite Returns
Next week, we’ll get to see Kylie again, a character viewers love and don’t get enough of.
Herrmann will be bringing her into a mission of his to get new radios for the whole squad.
It’ll be fun to see the two of them working together, and I’d be willing to bet they’ll come up with some goofy antics to provide comic relief for the episode.
Kylie sadly turned down Stella’s offer to join 51 on Chicago Fire Season 13 Episode 4, but that doesn’t mean we’ve seen the last of her.
Ritter took the vacant spot on truck, so Stella will be easing up her recruitment efforts.
But something tells me that being around the house to help Herrmann might make Kylie second guess her decision.
Happy Birthday, Dear Violet
Violet was central to the last episode, and it looks like we’re going to extend the focus on her.
She and Novak quickly became two of my favorite characters, so I’ll take all the Violet face time I can get.
She’ll be the subject of a birthday celebration in the coming episode.
Hopefully, the conversation she had with Carver last week brought her enough closure that she’s ready to move on.
No word on whether she’ll be moving on with Lizzie, but I’m holding out hope for as long as I can.
I’m no stranger to cheering for ships that take a long time to sail (cough, Buddie, cough), so I can be patient.
Chicago Fire Season 13 Episode 5 Spoilers: Pascal Remains a Mystery
Last week, I got a bit of whiplash with Chief Pascal.
After a violent outburst and his frankly abhorrent treatment of Stella, it was pretty clear that he wasn’t trustworthy.
And because of a lifetime of love for Dermot Mulroney, I was bummed to have to hate his Chicago Fire character.
Then, last week, he went out of his way to help protect Violet’s job after she nearly lost her license because of a call.
Is it possible that he has some ulterior motive that drew him to play the hero?
Or are we supposed to believe that he really is a wonderful man and leader who just has some baggage to deal with?
I’m all for recognizing the impact of trauma and being willing to let people make mistakes and change.
Still, my guard is up when it comes to Pascal, given his mysterious history.
There’s also more to his story with his wife, Monica, and their strange and unhealthy relationship dynamic.
I can only assume that we’ll learn more about those two (and whatever happened in Florida!) that will help shed some light on what kind of person Pascal is.
Where is the Fire?
For a show called Chicago Fire, it seems like we don’t see all that many fires these days.
I get that staging a huge fire is probably extremely expensive for production, especially when the dramatic interpersonal storylines do so well in the ratings.
I’d just like to see more action. Sue me!
Don’t get me wrong.
I don’t want to lose any of these characters.
But if we could get a nice, stressful, major disaster to shake things up a bit, I wouldn’t complain.
Chicago Fire Season 13 Episode 5 Spoilers: Investigator Severide
At least we’ll get to see Severide in investigative mode this week, though, and I love when they show that side of him.
He’s smart, thorough, and observant, so these situations are great for him to flex those muscles.
(I get it though; everyone likes when he flexes his other muscles, too.)
Are you hoping for a Stellaride baby in Season 13?
Wednesday’s installment promises to be an exciting hour, so don’t forget to tune in!
Then, meet us back here after the episode to chat about it.
Chicago Fire airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on NBC.
