Severide: The Houdini of Firehouse 51
So, you wanna know when Kelly Severide, the resident hotshot of Chicago Fire, decided to ditch the firehouse for greener pastures (or at least less smoky ones)? Well, buckle up, because this is a saga worthy of a firefighter's drama.
Severide: The Reluctant Wanderer
Let’s be honest, Severide is as attached to Firehouse 51 as a moth is to a flame. But like any good drama, there has to be some suspense. So, the writers decided to play a little game of cat and mouse with us.
Severide has actually left the firehouse a couple of times. It's like he's playing a real-life version of hide and seek, but instead of counting to ten, he's off chasing arsonists.
The first time he dipped his toes into the great unknown was in Season 11. Something about wanting to focus on his arson investigations. We all rolled our eyes and said, "Oh, come on, Severide, you're just looking for an excuse to escape Casey's cooking." But hey, who are we to judge a man's mid-life crisis?
Severide: The Prodigal Son Returns
Thankfully, our boy Severide has a heart of gold (or at least a soft spot for Stella Kidd). So, he eventually came back to the fold. But then, like a recurring nightmare, he did it again in Season 12. Another arson case, another temporary goodbye. We’re starting to think Severide has a secret love affair with Tucson or something.
So, to answer your burning question: Kelly Severide most recently left Chicago Fire in Season 12. But don’t worry, he’s back now. For now.
How to Handle Severide's Exits
We know, it's tough to see our favorite firefighter disappear into the sunset (or Arizona). But fear not, fellow fans, we've got you covered:
- How to cope with Severide's absence: Stock up on popcorn, binge-watch old episodes, and dream of the day he returns.
- How to avoid spoilers: Unfollow all Chicago Fire-related accounts on social media. Or, just disconnect from the internet entirely.
- How to prepare for his inevitable return: Start a countdown, create a welcome-back banner, and practice your best "we missed you" speech.
- How to survive the emotional rollercoaster: Remember, this is just a TV show. Real firefighters are out there risking their lives every day.
- How to appreciate Severide even more when he's back: Cherish every moment, because you never know when he'll up and leave again.
There you have it, folks. The complete Severide departure saga. Let's hope this is the last time he decides to play hard to get.
