Chicago Fire is back, but some fans think that one of the show’s most popular stars might be on his way out. There is a new face at Firehouse 51, and he has an uncomfortable relationship with Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney). As a result, there might not be room enough for both of them, which might mean Kelly is on his way out.

Here is what has changed and what we know about Kelly as the new season starts.

How Does Jack Damon Connect To Kelly Severide?

In the Season 12 finale, Jack Damon (Michael Broadway) told Kelly Severide they have the same father. Since both firefighters are Benny Severide’s sons, they have worked together on a few calls, but this may be what finally forces Kelly out of Firehouse 51.

The problem is that Jack Damon joined Truck 81 under the supervision of Severide’s wife, Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo). The CFD has a problem when family members work together in the same station. This has resulted in Kelly hiding from the new chief, Dom Pascal (Dermot Mulroney), that Jack is his brother.

Dom has already called out Kelly once, telling him to keep his workplace relationship with Stella strictly professional onsite. That might be why Kelly did not tell Dom that Jack was his brother. However, this is not going to remain a secret forever.

It seems that Kelly wants to foster a relationship with Jack, but this could also cause problems with Stella since she is Jack’s boss. It remains problematic because Jack ignores Stella’s orders while idolizing his older brother (via NBC).

Kelly Severide Facing Conflict Of Interest On Chicago Fire

Stella and Severide have worked together perfectly for years on Chicago Fire, and they have no problems following orders and doing what they need to do. This is because they are not in each other’s business. Severide is on the squad, and Stella is on the truck.

Jack, however, disrespects Stella, and she could end up coming back at Kelly with this. In the second episode of this season, it came to a head when Jack openly disobeyed a direct order Stella gave to stabilize a boat, which almost cost a woman her life. However, Jack claimed he didn’t hear her order.

This led to Kelly overstepping his bounds when he called in Jack and let him know he was in the wrong. That is when Jack admitted he heard Stella’s order. While he did this to help Stella, she didn’t need the help. This could cause some problems with them at work. It is a big reason people like Dom don’t want family working together.

This led to the explosive moment when Kelly told Stella that Jack heard the order, leading to problems between Kelly and Stella and then Kelly and Jack. When he told Jack he was honest about it, Jack wasn’t happy. That was when Kelly said one of them had to go.
