Severide: The Houdini of Firehouse 51
So, you're wondering why Severide keeps disappearing faster than a slice of pizza at Firehouse 51? Well, buckle up, because we're diving into the thrilling world of arson investigations and long-distance relationships.
Severide: The Arson Addict
Let's face it, Kelly Severide has a thing for fire. Not in a pyromaniac kind of way (we hope), but in a "can't-resist-a-good-arson-case" kind of way. It's like he's got a built-in arson detector, and as soon as one goes off, he's out the door, leaving a trail of confused firefighters and heartbroken Stella Kidd in his wake.
Remember that time he up and left for Alabama to train with some arson experts? Or when he mysteriously vanished to Arizona to chase a serial arsonist? And let's not forget his little stint in Texas, where he apparently solved all the state's arson cases single-handedly. It's like the guy has a one-way ticket to Arsonland.
Stella Kidd: The Long-Suffering Spouse
Poor Stella. She's the modern-day Penelope, waiting patiently for her Odysseus to return from his arson adventures. One minute they're sharing a romantic dinner, the next, Severide's got his bags packed and he's off to chase another flame (figuratively, of course). We can only imagine the conversations:
Stella: "Honey, can you take out the trash?" Severide: "Actually, I've got to go to Nebraska. There's a hunchback arsonist on the loose."
It's enough to make anyone question their life choices.
Will Severide Ever Stay Put?
The million-dollar question is: will Severide ever settle down and stay put? Part of us hopes he does. We miss the dynamic between him and the rest of the squad. Plus, Stella deserves a break. But another part of us is secretly addicted to the drama. We love the suspense, the uncertainty, and the endless speculation about when (or if) Severide will return.
So, while we patiently await Severide's next adventure (or hopefully, his return), let's appreciate the chaos he brings to our lives. After all, Chicago Fire wouldn't be the same without its resident arson investigator.
How To...
- How to survive a Severide-sized absence? Stock up on comfort food, binge-watch other shows, and start planning your own arson investigation (just kidding!).
- How to deal with a partner who's always chasing fires? Learn to embrace the adventure, develop strong communication skills, and invest in a good therapist.
- How to become an arson investigator like Severide? Well, we don't recommend it. But if you're determined, start by watching every episode of Chicago Fire and mastering the art of dramatic exits.
- How to avoid being mistaken for an arsonist? Don't wear a red hoodie, carry a lighter, or stare intently at buildings.
- How to cope with the emotional rollercoaster of a Severide-centric storyline? Breathe, grab your favorite snack, and remember: it's just a TV show (unless you're Stella, in which case, we feel for you).
