Chicago Fire Season 13 Finale Breakdown: What Really Happened & What It Means for the Future

Changes are coming to Firehouse 51 in the wake of the events of the Chicago Fire season 13 finale, but on the other hand, many things are staying the same. The NBC procedural drama’s 13th season has featured numerous highs and multiple lows. From the introduction of Chief Boden’s replacement (Dom Pascal) in the Chicago Fire season 13 premiere to the will-they/won’t-they relationship between Violet Mikami and Sam Carver, it’s safe to say that the season is jam-packed with drama and conflict. Still, many characters get happy endings in the finale.

Following the attempted murder of the man who killed Pascal’s wife in Chicago Fire season 13, episode 21, Firehouse 51’s chief is in the hot seat in episode 22, “It Had to End This Way.” The evidence against Pascal starts building up, and it seems he’s going down for the crime. Elsewhere in the finale, Carver shocks Violet with life-changing news, Christopher Herrmann struggles with his pursuit of being a chief, and Kelly Severide and Stella Kidd’s relationship changes forever.

Over the course of the Chicago Fire season 13 finale, Severide tries his best to clear Pascal’s name. The two didn’t exactly get off to the best start. Over time, though, Severide has come to appreciate and respect his chief, and vice versa, which is why he rides so hard for Pascal in “It Had to End This Way.” At first, Severide is confident that someone from Pascal’s past (a mob boss named Hendricks whom Pascal attempted to implicate in Miami) is framing him. By the hour’s end, we all learn that the answer is much simpler.

Severide and Pascal discover Lieutenant Vale is the one who tried to murder Monica’s killer in Chicago Fire season 13. Over time, Vale became obsessed with Monica (although she turned him down). He was almost as heartbroken as Pascal when Monica died. Consequently, Vale wanted revenge. He almost gets away with it, too, if it isn’t for Pascal discovering texts from Vale to Monica and if Severide isn’t the great arson investigator he is. In the end, Severide proves Pascal is innocent. This strengthens their bond, which has been one of the most interesting developments in season 13.
