Derek Haas weighed in on whether Brett Dalton will be sticking around as Jason Pelham: Plus, Firehouse 51 already has a candidate who could take the spot as Truck lieutenant on a permanent basis. Well, at least that means Chicago Fire isn’t going to wrap this intriguing story for Stella (and Severide) within the span of the winter finale! The showrunner’s comments do suggest that fans will have reason to be on edge during the winter hiatus, but winter finales on Chicago Fire generally are not calm episodes from start to finish. Even on past this episode, I think they should be worried. And according to Derek Haas, that’s something to be uneasy about moving forward, based on his response when asked if fans should be worried that she hasn't been responding: I don't think he's too merry because he's been basically ignored by his fiancée when he's been trying to tell her, 'You need to get back here and claim your spot as lieutenant of Truck 81 if that's what you want.' And she hasn't responded, so he's frustrated in this episode.įor a long time, a spot as lieutenant at 51 seemed to be precisely what she wanted, and fans have no more insight about what exactly she has been doing (other than not communicating with her fiancé) than Severide does. When I asked how merry Severide will be feeling after first having to say goodbye to Casey and then Stella going silent on him, the showrunner shared:

The sadness of saying goodbye to Casey seemed to have the silver lining of opening up the officer spot on Truck 81 just in time for Stella to take, so her absence and silence have created a big mystery… and not one that Severide is exactly enjoying. And so that becomes a driving force in the second half of the season. So how's that going to work out at our firehouse? That doesn't mean everyone can stay. And then this musical chairs game of there's a lieutenant seat open but not enough chairs, too many people and not enough chairs. And so that becomes a big driving force of the next episode.

And professionally, 'Why did you not come claim this lieutenant spot?' is what Boden wants to know. And a lot of questions she has to answer regarding, just personally, 'Why did you shut down on me?' is what Severide would like to know. The finale is the beginning of, we get to see Kidd again, so you're going to start answering questions about why she's been gone. Derek Haas opened up about how the winter finale will set up the second half of the season in 2022, including Miranda Rae Mayo back as Stella Kidd: alum Brett Dalton as the Truck lieutenant filling the vacant spot while she’s gone just complicates the issue further.
