Who Bit the Dust in Chicago Fire Season 12? A Dramatic Recap
Disclaimer: If you're one of those people who haven’t watched Season 12 yet, consider this your official spoiler alert. You’ve been warned.
So, Chicago Fire Season 12. A rollercoaster of emotions, right? Blazing fires, heart-stopping rescues, and shocking deaths. Yeah, we're talking about you, Chief Boden. Let’s dive into the fiery wreckage and see who didn’t make it out alive.
Boden: The End of an Era
Okay, let's get the big one out of the way. Chief Wallace Boden. The backbone of Firehouse 51, the guy who could command a room with a single glance. Gone. Just like that. It was like losing your favorite pair of slippers. Comfortable, reliable, and suddenly, shockingly absent.
The writers must have had a serious case of writer's block or something. I mean, Boden? Really? It’s like killing off the wise old owl in a fairytale. Who's going to give those heartfelt speeches now? Who's going to keep the squad in line with a well-placed glare?
The Aftermath: A Firehouse in Mourning
The aftermath was, as you can imagine, a dumpster fire of emotions. Waterworks, anger, and a whole lot of denial. The team was a shell of its former self. Severide looked like he'd aged ten years overnight. Kidd was a walking time bomb. And poor Casey was probably still trying to figure out how to be a husband, a dad, and a grieving friend all at once.
It's like the writers decided to throw a Molotov cocktail into the middle of the firehouse and see what happened. Dramatic? Yes. Necessary? Debatable.
Moving On? Or Just Moving?
Now, let's talk about the future. Can Firehouse 51 recover from this loss? Will they find a new chief who can fill Boden's massive shoes? Or will the firehouse crumble into a pile of ashes? Only time will tell.
But one thing's for sure, Chicago Fire just got a whole lot more interesting.
