Pascal Returns in Chicago Fire’s Explosive Season 14 Finale! What to Know

The Season 14 finale of Chicago Fire delivered the heat, leaving many Chihards grappling to know what will happen to several Firehouse 51 fan favorites.

Between the blood-pumping rescues and high-stakes calls, the Firehouse 51 firefighters are navigating an era of unprecedented change. Lt. Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney) is choosing between two enticing promotions: become the next Captain of Firehouse 51 or assume the position of Chief of the Office of Fire Investigation (OFI). Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo) has encouraged her husband to choose what’s best for him, but it’s not a simple decision as Severide finds himself navigating new territory both in and out of the station. Just as several Firehouse 51 fan favorites processed life-changing milestones, they were called to a blazing inferno that ultimately threatened to put all of their lives at risk.

After a tragic season in which Herrmann (David Eigenberg) and his wife, Cindy, navigated their home burning down, the couple has been stressed while picking up the pieces. Amid the chaos, Herrmann told Cindy that he wanted to do something to show how much he cares about her and the life they’ve built: a vow renewal. Cindy tearfully accepted, and the couple got to work on planning a last-minute celebration at Molly’s for the special occasion.

After catching wind of Severide’s hesitance toward becoming 51’s next Captain, the station’s former Chief paid a little visit to the Windy City to set the record straight. Severide was shocked to find 51’s former Chief Dom Pascal (Dermot Mulroney) at CFD’s headquarters, learning that Pascal had returned to remind Severide that he’d tapped him as the next Chief of Firehouse 51. Pascal had passed the baton to him for a reason and thinks he’d be happiest as a Captain. Later, Pascal attended Herrmann and Cindy’s vow renewal, connecting with his many friends at his former post at 51.

Pascal wasn’t the only one back in the Windy City: Stellaride’s foster son, Isaiah (Hero Hunter), made a surprise “last-minute trip to Chicago,” much to his foster parents’ delight. Stella and Severide were a tad confused by the pop-in, later learning that Isaiah had run away from his new home in Cleveland where his mom is being treated. Isaiah shared that he was happier in Chicago, giving Stella and Severide pause.
