The Chicago Fire Showrunner Andrea Newman teased how the season will end with a Severide (Taylor Knney) and Damon (Michael Bradway) cliffhanger, showing a complicated relationship moving forward. At the end of the previous set of episodes, The Chicago Fire season 12 revealed that Severide and Damon are brothers, with Benny Severide (Treat Williams) confirmed to be his father. This comes from Damon's confession, which may bring up the old, complicated relationship Severide had with his late father. It also sets the stage for what both of them will need in season 13.
Talking to Entertainment WeeklyNewman described the conflict stemming from Damon's revelation to Severide about them being brothers The Chicago Fire season 13. The runner explains how these stories will bring the lieutenant back to his pastto examine his relationship with his father and family through a new lens. He also comments on the events that took place between the two in the first episodes, which means it won't be too long to wait to see how things affect them. Check out what Newman had to say below:
We've been feeling like it's haunted season 13. It's like people's ghosts are coming back. That's especially true for Severide, where he's worked hard to put his father in the rearview mirror and become his firefighter. So to suddenly have Benny's son, his half-brother, appear in his life, it makes him re-examine all those things. So it reveals a lot to Severide and that relationship is complicated and sweet and there's a lot that's going to play out between the two of them early on.
What Severide & Damon's Parentage Mean For Chicago Fire Season 13
Newly Found Brethren Will Have to Consider the Past
Severide had a difficult relationship with his father, something that was exacerbated by his relationships with different women outside of his first marriage. This includes the revelation in season 2 when the Lieutenant learned that he has a sister, Katie Nolan. (Brittany Curran), who later confronted her father about him. Benny ended up dying in season 7 of a stroke, a loss he had to suffer for a long time. Now, it seems The Chicago Fire season 13 will be opening these old wounds with Damon's revelation.
In addition to learning about Severide's new brother, season 13 will also focus on the replacement of Wallace Boden (Eamonn Walker), Chief Dom Pascal (Dermot Mulroney), who will be introduced in the season premiere. This change of leadership, along with his growing family now, he said the lieutenant will have a lot to deal with emotionally as the season begins. Despite this, however, it seems likely that he will be able to weather the storm, possibly with Damon as his partner, understanding the difficulties the revelations can get him into.
Our Take on Severide & Damon's Story in Chicago Fire Season 13
They May Grow Close Or Separate
Although Severide and Damon can bond over their shared father, the fact that the newcomer has kept a secret for so long means that a wall of mistrust may develop between them. However, since the latter wants to have a real friendship with his half-brother, that wall may not last long. Although it will be difficult for the main character to consider this new thing from his past, The Chicago Fire Season 13's focus on it could help him better accept his newfound family.
