Herrmann (David Eigenberg) and Mouch (Christian Stolte) are two of the most beloved characters on Chicago Fire. They’re the no-nonsense veterans who can always be counted on to get their jobs done and offer helpful advice to the younger crew.
Well, drama awaits these two in season 13. Your closest friends will be put in an awkward situation where one of them could be forced to leave Firehouse 51 to try to advance their careers. Neither of them wants to leave, which is sure to lead to some heated conversations.
Herrmann and Mouch are being considered for transfers
Chicago Fire showrunner Andrea Newman confirmed the revelation in a recent chat with TV Insider. She notes that Herrmann and Mouch are both at a point where their ranks make it difficult for them to coexist under the same roof as Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney) and Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo).
There are only a few senior positions in a fire station, so the solution is to send one of the veterans elsewhere so they can lead a less experienced crew. Things get even more complicated when Chief Dom Pascal (Dermot Mulroney) gets involved. Pascal is in charge of 51, but the upcoming conditions will make his relationship with the fire station tenuous. Someone will have to go.

“It’s an interesting and fascinating triangle,” Newman explains. “Each of them has different desires, skills, relationships — and Pascal, Herrmann and Mouch are all headed for the finish line at top speed, where there are only two seats left.” The host makes it clear that this won’t be a situation where there’s an easy solution, and all three men will have to go. This is an issue that will cause a major shakeup in episode 51.
Mouch has been discussing his future with Chief Pascal
One of them is going to have to go, and they all know it,” Newman said. “So the game is on.” We saw the beginnings of this conflict in the episode “Too Close.” Pascal called Mouch into his office and pitched the idea of moving Mouch to another research facility. Unsurprisingly, the character refused. He said he wanted to stay in 51 with his friends, which led to a crossover.
Pascal has also been trying to groom and groom Herrmann for his eventual leadership role. He asked Herrmann to stand by and watch during the One Chicago crossover, but Herrmann gave up his position and asked to be allowed to help when things got out of hand.
Smart people assume that Pascal will be the one forced to leave 51. However, However, they don’t know how the dispute that led to the transfer will affect the situation between Herrmann and Mouch in the future. We hope they can overcome it. Assuming, of course, that they still work together when it’s all over.
