In Chicago Fire Season 13, Episode 7, the stakes get higher for Kelly Severide and Chief Pascal as they face off against a corrupt cop. Their mission to bring down a dirty police captain, Bishop, puts not just their careers on the line, but also endangers their loved ones.
Taking Down a Dirty Cop
In this episode, titled Untouchable, Severide and Pascal find themselves up against a formidable opponent: Captain Bishop, a corrupt officer with connections to an arson case. Determined to expose him, Severide and Pascal join forces, despite knowing that going after Bishop could have severe repercussions. Bishop has allies in high places and will stop at nothing to avoid getting caught.
The tension is palpable as Pascal trusts Severide’s skills to uncover the truth. He openly acknowledges Severide’s expertise in solving arson cases, telling him, “Not for you,” when someone remarks that arson is nearly impossible to prove. Pascal’s confidence in Severide is evident, showcasing the growing camaraderie between the two.
A New Dynamic at Firehouse 51
Chief Pascal, though still new in his role, has quickly shown that he understands his team’s strengths. He may not be Chief Boden, but Pascal’s leadership style is becoming clear: he backs his firefighters, especially when it counts. His faith in Severide’s abilities indicates that he’s willing to take risks to support his team, even if it puts them all in danger.
This trust and mutual respect are crucial as they continue their investigation. The two revisit the scene of the original fire, hoping to find the evidence needed to take down Bishop. Meanwhile, Stella Kidd senses the growing threat. She knows how corrupt officers like Bishop operate — they don’t just come after their enemies, they target their families. Kidd’s concern highlights the real danger they are all facing.

This could even inspire Cruz to consider taking the exam himself.
