Chicago Fire returns with an all-new episode after a brief pause in the One Chicago lineup. The Wednesday, October 30 schedule featured reruns, as NBC opted to replay season premieres for its Wednesday dramas. Breaks like this are common in the network’s seasonal lineup, spacing out new episodes throughout the year.
This season has introduced a series of changes at Firehouse 51. Chief Dom Pascal (Dermot Mulroney) has taken over, bringing a distinctive leadership style that sets him apart from previous chiefs. Much remains unknown about Pascal’s past, including his reasons for leaving Miami and returning to Chicago, leaving fans eager to learn more.
Many fans still miss Chief Wallace Boden (played by Eamonn Walker), who has not returned since the leadership change. But Boden is alive and well in the One Chicago universe, so there’s always a chance he could make a guest appearance in future episodes.
Meanwhile, Firefighter Sam Carver (Jake Lockett) is struggling. Heartbroken over Violet Mikami (Hanako Greensmith), Carver has reconnected with a former flame, but the reunion appears to be causing him more distress than relief.
Episode 6 Preview: “Birds of Prey”
The new episode, titled “Birds of Prey,” airs on Wednesday, November 6. Here’s what to expect:
“Severide gets wrapped up in an Illinois State Police investigation after discovering illegal guns on a call. A bird harasses Mouch on the apparatus floor. Kidd keeps an eye on Carver as his attitude worsens,” reads the official synopsis for Season 13, Episode 6.
In this episode, Kelly Severide (aka “Fire Cop”) finds himself drawn into a high-stakes investigation involving illegal firearms. But Chief Pascal is firmly opposed to his involvement, creating an intense standoff between the two. The TV promo showcases a heated encounter between Pascal and Severide, giving fans a glimpse of the tension that’s about to unfold at Firehouse 51.
