Over on Chicago Fire, the second half of Season 14 introduces a challenge Stella Kidd and Kelly Severide have never truly faced: separation. With Stella in Cleveland helping Isaiah’s mother enter rehab, Severide finds himself trapped in a dangerous arson incident back in Chicago—without his partner by his side.
Executive producer Reza Tabrizi notes that distance complicates everything. Stella is no longer just a firefighter’s wife; she’s also a foster mother trying to build trust with Isaiah. While the situation tests #Stellaride in new ways, Tabrizi assures fans the relationship will endure.
Meanwhile, Firehouse 51 faces an existential threat after Engine 51 is recommended for decommissioning. Pascal and Mouch scramble for solutions, including the surprising idea of Pascal entering public office. Though politics isn’t in his DNA, the possibility will be explored—forcing Pascal to choose between staying hands-on or fighting for his team from the top.
