The Chicago Fire Season 14 fall finale is just around the corner, promising a dramatic and intense episode.
At the end of Episode 6, Stella Kidd decided to take a break, bringing Isaiah out of state to spend time with his mother. This move highlighted how important both Isaiah and his mom have become to her life, which means Kidd will be absent from the upcoming episode.
Lizzie Novak’s Family Drama
The episode also dives into paramedic Lizzie Novak’s personal life. Although we know little about her family, Season 13 hinted at some significant developments. In Episode 7, Novak receives a call about a patient who happens to be her sister. While details are scarce, it’s clear this will be a major storyline, showcasing Novak’s professionalism and composure under pressure.
Van Meter Returns
Fans will also see Van Meter back, this time in a storyline alongside Severide. The synopsis teases a suspicious high school fire, which Severide investigates. Meanwhile, Novak deals with her family emergency, and Violet brings a 51 firefighter along for a paramedic shift. The promo hints at a tense scene where Severide tries to stop a man breaking glass, followed by a large explosion.
The presence of Van Meter suggests arson could be involved, raising questions about whether a student or teacher is behind the fire. Severide and Van Meter will have their work cut out for them as they investigate the incident.
Severide’s Career Trajectory
This season also explores Severide’s potential career growth. Back in Season 12, he was content in his role, avoiding paperwork and higher ranks. But with Pascal placing Firehouse 51 under his guidance and asking Severide to shadow him, he’s embracing new responsibilities — though his passion for arson investigation remains central. Fans may wonder whether this path will lead him to a more permanent role in investigations.
Vasquez and the Paramedics
Meanwhile, Vasquez continues to work with the paramedics, following his decision at the end of the previous episode. Though his motives are partly personal, he’s expected to assist Violet and the team with a challenging patient scenario, including gaining access to a room where a patient is trapped. While hot-headed, Vasquez’s heart is in the right place, and the episode may leave viewers with a cliffhanger regarding his role.
With high-stakes drama, personal storylines, and potential career shifts, Episode 7 promises to be a pivotal installment in Chicago Fire Season 14.
Chicago Fire airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on NBC.
Fans, buckle up — the fall finale is shaping up to be an unforgettable episode.
