Chicago Fire
The future is looking bright for the first responders of
Chicago Fire's Firehouse 51 as of the end of "What Comes Next."
Stella Kidd passed her exam and will become a CFD lieutenant,
Severide has marriage on his mind, and
Brett got rid of her crazy cat, so it was a great episode for the good guys all around! Still, I found myself wondering on two different occasions â is
Chicago Fire setting up Casey replacements?
Now, this isn't the first time in Season 9 that I've begun to suspect that
Chicago Fire is preparing to send Casey off to a new (and off-screen) chapter of his life and career, and I honestly thought it was no longer a possibility after the reveal that his head is fine and there are no obstacles in his way as captain in the CFD. But there were two instances of characters showing that they could begin to fill Casey's shoes if he's not around in Season 10. And I say all of this as somebody who loves Casey as a character and not exactly dying to see him leave!
