Kelly Severide: The Hottest Firefighter to Ever Walk Away from a Burning Building (and Chicago)
Let’s talk about the elephant in the firehouse: Where in the name of Chief Boden did Kelly Severide go? I know, I know, we were all just getting used to the idea of him and Stella being that couple. The ones who could actually make it work, even amidst the chaos of burning buildings and questionable decision-making. But alas, our boy Severide decided to take a one-way ticket to Arson Investigator Land.
Severide: The Houdini of Departures
It’s like the writers decided to play a cruel joke on us. Just when we thought things were starting to look up for our favorite firefighter, bam, he's off chasing flames in a different city. I mean, can’t a guy catch a break? It's like they're trying to recreate the ending of Titanic every season.
But let's be honest, part of us was kind of expecting it. Severide and arson investigations are like peanut butter and jelly. It’s a match made in firefighting heaven. So, while we’re all still mourning the loss of Severide's daily dose of smoldering hotness at Firehouse 51, we can’t help but be a little proud of him for chasing his dreams.
So, When Did This Heartbreak Occur?
Okay, let's cut to the chase. Severide’s most recent departure happened in Season 12, Episode 3: Trapped. Yep, you read that right. Just when we were getting cozy with the idea of a Severide-Kidd Christmas, boom, he’s off to Tucson, Arizona. We’re still not over it.
But fear not, fellow Severide stans! There’s always hope. This isn’t the first time our boy has dipped out on us. He’s got a history of leaving us hanging, only to come back stronger than ever. So, while we’re currently in the grieving process, we’re holding onto that glimmer of hope that he’ll return to our screens sooner rather than later.
How to Cope with the Loss of Severide
Losing Severide is like losing a limb. Okay, maybe that’s dramatic, but you get the point. Here are a few tips to help you cope:
- How to distract yourself: binge-watch old Chicago Fire episodes and pretend like Severide never left.
- How to find a replacement: It's impossible. Just kidding (kind of). But seriously, there's no replacing Severide.
- How to stay hopeful: Remember, he's just on a temporary assignment. Or so we hope.
- How to prepare for his return: Start stocking up on tissues and chocolate. You're going to need them.
- How to survive until then: Repeat steps 1-4.
In conclusion, Severide’s departure is a major blow to the Chicago Fire universe. But like any good drama, we know that this is just a plot twist, and there’s more to come. Until then, we’ll be here, patiently waiting for his return, and pretending like nothing is wrong.
