All eyes were on Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney). Chicago fire Season 13, Episode 2 (“Ride the Blade”) as he navigates a conflict of interest at Firehouse 51.

As fans know, Severide’s estranged brother Jack Damon (Michael Bradway) joined Truck 81 under the supervision of Severide’s wife Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo). The CFD doesn’t like family members working in the same station, and Severide hides the double disadvantage of having both his wife and brother as colleagues.

But Severide deliberately neglected to mention that Also had a brother at 51.

Since Damon revealed his relationship with Severide, the two have become closer. Severide wants to pursue a relationship with Damon, but could that put him at odds with his Stella? As Damon continues to ignore Stella’s orders at work and idolizes his older brother, Severide finds himself at the center of a conflict triangle in Season 13, Episode 2. Here’s what happened:

Severide had to face a conflict of interest at Firehouse 51

Stella and Severide have worked well together for years, thanks in part to their shared understanding of their lanes: Severide is in the squad while Stella is in the truck. They have different responsibilities and years of experience behind them. But Damon’s behavior on recent calls has upset Stellaride’s happy harmony.

Damon has been assigned to ride in Stella’s truck, but it’s clear he wants to work with Severide. Fans will remember that in the Season 13 premiere, Damon ignored one of Stella’s requests to back off when they arrived at a burning building and was subsequently crushed by debris (though he was unharmed). In Episode 2, when 51 responded to a woman crushed by a boat that crashed into the shores of Lake Michigan, Damon continued to defy Stella’s orders. While Stella ordered Damon to stabilize the boat, he instead sprinted toward the victim. The boat soon collapsed, but fortunately 51 was able to get the woman out with minor injuries.

Back at the station, Stella quickly called Damon. “Your orders were to stabilize the boat,” Stella reminded him sternly. “Troop was looking for the victim.”

“I didn’t hear you,” Damon admitted.

“You mean you didn’t listen to your boss?” Stella snapped.

“I think I just saw she was trapped there and my legs just started moving,” Damon blurted out. “I had to help her.”

“You’re always waiting for orders,” Stella said.

“Copy that,” Damon nodded.

“Can you hear me now?” Stella snapped.

“I do,” Damon said. “I’m sorry, I wasn’t thinking.”

Severide overheard Stella and Damon’s conversation and called Damon into his office to talk.

“I know you heard her,” Severide explained. “I was right there.”

“Okay, maybe I did,” Damon admitted. “But if we had been a second later, then-“

“Stop it,” Severide said. “If you had helped stabilize the boat, it might not have fallen. But we’ll never know because we don’t get a second chance, which is why we follow orders.”

“Okay, now what?” Damon asked, pointing out that Stella had been having problems with him since his rocky debut in Season 12. “If you tell her, she will fire me and probably report me for misconduct. This could ruin my career, Kelly.”

Later, Stella suggested to Severide that Damon attend the exercises with him. Severide was initially surprised by the suggestion, but agreed after Stella insisted, saying Damon was a puppy with too much energy. (At this point Severide decided not to tell Stella that Damon actually heard her on the call.)

Damon was in seventh heaven when he found out that he was doing exercises with Severide. After Severide explained that it was Stella’s idea, Damon agreed with him.

“Yeah, but you obviously didn’t tell her,” Damon explained, beaming from ear to ear. Why didn’t have Severide told her? What made him want to protect Damon?

Severide couldn’t keep a secret from Stella for long

After a conversation with Joe Cruz (Joe Miñoso), Severide explains to his wife about Damon and the call.

“So you knew from the beginning that Damon heard me?” Stella asked him.

“I thought so,” Severide admitted. “I wasn’t sure until he told me later.”

“I asked him directly if he heard me give the order,” Stella said. “He lied to me.”

“He didn’t want to lose his job,” Severide explained.

“You “I lied to myself,” Stella snapped.

“I should have told you right away,” Severide said. “I’m sorry.”

Later, Severide invited Damon to a bar for a beer. From the moment Damon arrived he knew something was wrong.

“You told her?” Damon asked panicked.

“She’s your lieutenant,” Severide said. “And this is her My Wife.”

“I actually thought you might have my back with this,” Damon snapped.

“I did, that’s the problem,” Severide explained. “I lied to protect you that I wouldn’t have done for anyone else.”

Damon was furious at the news and demanded that Severide say everything he had to say before he left.

“We can’t work in the same firehouse,” Severide told him. “One of us has to go.”
