Spoilers forward for Episode 14 of Chicago Hearth Season 13 on NBC, referred to as “Bar Time” and streaming subsequent day with a Peacock subscription.
One Chicago Wednesdays are the place to be in primetime for high-stakes motion, and the three-part crossover proved that in fairly spectacular vogue as a part of the 2025 TV schedule. The preview for Chicago Hearth‘s subsequent episode, airing on March 5, proves that the primary responder drama is not stepping away from life-or-death conditions simply due to Stella‘s shut name within the crossover. In actual fact, the promo teases that someone is not going to “make it out alive” of no matter goes fallacious, together with a shot of Violet with tears streaming down her face and Pascal trying as scared as we have seen him.
And that is all very alarming as Chicago Hearth advances within the second half of Season 13, however I am not fairly over Carver‘s resolution on the finish of “Bar Time” and the letter he left for Violet that is fairly swoonworthy. However first issues first! Try the promo for subsequent week’s episode, referred to as “Too Shut,” under:
Actually, based mostly on Violet’s tears, I would be involved about Carver after this promo if not for the choice he made on the finish of Episode 14. I can not assist however consider that the tease of Kidd probably being hit by a automotive is a crimson herring, and I am extra anxious about Pascal’s spouse than anyone else. She’s the type of character who could possibly be killed off to pack an emotional punch however not likely derail the whole present. And Dermot Mulroney’s expression definitely appears like a person afraid of dropping a cherished one!
In actual fact, in mild of all of the heartbreak and devastation of the promo, the episode description (per NBC) is type of hilarious in how effectively it avoids gifting away any massive particulars in regards to the disaster:
Kidd and Severide eagerly await massive information. Pascal searches for the proper anniversary present.
So, followers will simply have to attend for the subsequent episode to search out out who’s going to be the reason for the tears and devastation. I am nonetheless leaning in the direction of Pascal’s spouse because the sufferer, however with an ensemble the dimensions of Chicago Hearth‘s, no one is ever essentially going to be protected… besides perhaps Carver this time, as a result of timing of the subsequent episode.
As a result of he went by means of the emotional wringer in “Bar Time,” and I obtained my want about Chicago Hearth not dropping the storyline of his struggles with alcoholism. Violet caught him in a lie, and his makes an attempt to maintain working and dealing and dealing to drown out the need to drink simply weren’t sufficient.
He tearfully instructed Stella that he wanted to “actually get myself sorted out” and “construct some type of basis” for himself earlier than he might depend on the AA conferences for assist. Carver apologized to his lieutenant for letting her down, however she firmly instructed him that he did no such factor, and he or she’s pleased with him.
And that was Jake Lockett‘s final scene of the episode. Violet obtained the information from Stella that Carver can be “gone for a short while,” and was upset that she did not even get a textual content. Carver made up for that in absentia by the top of the episode, although, when Violet opened her locker and a letter fluttered out:
I am simply glad that Stella clarified that Carver’s job can be ready for him every time he is prepared to return again, as a result of it might simply be painful if we by no means obtained to see payoff for him leaving Violet that be aware! It stays to be seen simply how lengthy he’ll be gone, however it’s a protected guess that he’ll miss no matter disaster is on the best way within the new episode on March 5.
