Spoilers forward for Episode 18 of Chicago Hearth Season 13, referred to as “Put up-Mortem” and out there streaming subsequent day with a Peacock subscription.
The April 16 episode of Chicago Hearth was hyped forward of time for bringing again none aside from Eamonn Walker as Deputy Commissioner Boden, and rightfully so. He even teased to CinemaBlend that followers may lose one in all their favorites at this level within the 2025 TV schedule, and that might nonetheless be true regardless of no one being killed off in “Put up-Mortem.” Plus, information broke in the course of the episode that two stars are definitively leaving One Chicago on the finish of Season 13, so the Firehouse 51 household goes to look completely different subsequent fall.
Jack Damon May Be Medically Unfit
Chicago Hearth switched up its standard format in “Put up-Mortem,” with the officers of Firehouse 51 – together with Chief Pascal – reporting to Boden a couple of fireplace that went horribly incorrect. One firefighter had been left behind when the burning home was evacuated, along with his life in very actual jeopardy. The present managed to construct the stress by not revealing for a piece of the episode who was in surgical procedure, with candidates together with Cruz and Carver. As an alternative, Damon was the one who was left behind as a result of plenty of components going incorrect on the similar time.
Happily, Damon survived and did not even look too badly injured, however his largest problem is not seen. He instructed Severide that “There was proof of lung breakdown in my X-ray,” and the medical doctors “will not know the way intensive till I get a CT.” The credit rolled on the episode earlier than revealing the outcomes of the CT. Severide tried to reassure his half brother that there are therapies even when the prognosis is dangerous, however Damon is aware of guys who “by no means got here again from this.”
Severide promised that he’d be there for Damon it doesn’t matter what occurs, but it surely actually seems that the firefighter may be medically disqualified from going again to work on Engine. Simply when issues gave the impression to be going properly for the brothers after their points again within the fall! So, we may be dropping Michael Bradway as Damon and must look ahead to affirmation. What we do not have to attend on is the identification of two firefighters who’re operating out of episodes.
Two Firefighters Are Leaving
In some unlucky timing for any Chicago Hearth followers who have been checking TV information throughout business breaks on April 16, Deadline reported mid-episode that Daniel Kyrie and Jake Lockett can be exiting Hearth on the finish of Season 13. Whereas the present hasn’t formally been renewed for Season 14 on the time of writing, it can return with out Ritter and Gallo if it does obtain that anticipated renewal.
This seemingly is not a case of the actors deciding to maneuver on. The outlet reported that Kyri and Lockett’s exits are a part of a push to chop the finances for Chicago Hearth, citing sources that state that most of the longtime stars’ contracts will likely be up on the finish of Season 13 and require negotiation. Extra exits inside One Chicago in addition to the 2 Legislation & Order reveals on NBC are additionally doable as a part of renewal talks.
These departure experiences come virtually precisely two years to the date from the information that collection regulars throughout NBC’s installments within the nine-show Wolf Leisure world would seem in fewer episodes in a cost-saving measure. In actual fact, each Hanako Greensmith and Jocelyn Hudon missed the “Put up-Mortem” episode that introduced Eamonn Walker again.
Whereas that is actually unhappy information for the state of Chicago Hearth‘s present ensemble, the surprising cancellations of FBI: Most Needed and FBI: Worldwide elsewhere within the Dick Wolf TV universe simply have me hoping for renewals throughout the board for the NBC installments. Hopefully every other cuts will likely be restricted, however solely time will inform.
For now, preserve tuning in to NBC on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET for brand new episodes of Chicago Hearth Season 13, between Chicago Med Season 10 at 8 p.m. ET and Chicago P.D. Season 12 at 10 p.m. ET. Solid adjustments are evidently coming to not less than essentially the most senior one of many three reveals, and my fingers are crossed that any exits aren’t completely everlasting. You can too revisit earlier episodes streaming on Peacock.
