Kidd and Severide’s Future on Chicago Fire: A Turning Point in Their Relationship
The One Chicago crossover started with a scene featuring Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo) and Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney), discussing plans for a much-needed vacation. Kidd wanted to go as soon as possible, while Severide preferred to wait for more time off. However, their plans were quickly sidelined when tragedy struck—Kidd was trapped underground, forcing both characters to confront the terrifying possibility that they might never see each other again.
Thankfully, Kidd made it out safely, and the crossover event ended with them deciding to take that long-awaited trip. But more than just a break from work, this storyline has set the stage for a major shift in their relationship moving forward.
Kidd and Severide Face a New Chapter
The couple has struggled in recent seasons, balancing their demanding careers with personal goals, particularly the question of starting a family. According to “Chicago Fire” showrunner Andrea Newman, the events of the crossover are a significant turning point for Kidd and Severide, pushing them to reassess their priorities and how they view their future together.
Kidd’s Changing Perspective on Family
In an interview with TV Line, Newman revealed that Kidd’s near-death experience and a surprising connection from her past will shift her perception of family. “Between the events of the crossover and a person from her past resurfacing, Kidd will be forced to reconsider things she hadn’t thought of before. This will impact her relationship with Severide and how she sees the idea of family moving forward,” Newman explained.
The reference to someone from Kidd’s past points directly to the February 5 episode, “Relief Cut,” in which she receives a visit from her cousin. This marks a rare moment in “Chicago Fire” history where we get a glimpse into Kidd’s family background, providing insight into how her upbringing has shaped her hesitation about settling down and having children.
Severide and Kidd’s Shared Desire to Break the Cycle
Both Kidd and Severide come from complicated family backgrounds, something that has affected their perspectives on relationships and commitment. Kidd has previously been vocal about her reservations toward having children, prioritizing her career and independence. However, as time goes on, it becomes increasingly clear that she is considering the possibility of starting a family.
Severide, on the other hand, has long struggled with family dynamics, stemming from his complex relationship with his father. But through the years, his experiences have led him to the realization that he wants to build something different—something better—than what he had growing up.
“Both characters come from dysfunctional family units,” Newman confirmed. “Now, they are trying to figure out how to move forward without repeating past mistakes. It’s a big part of their story this season.”
What’s Next for Kidd and Severide?
Newman teased that season 13 will see Kidd and Severide having deeper conversations about their future, making crucial decisions that could shape the rest of their lives. “The discussions about family and where they stand as a couple will be at the forefront,” she added. “Big decisions are being made, and those choices will influence everything going forward.”
With “Chicago Fire” known for its high-stakes drama and emotionally charged moments, fans can expect some intense episodes ahead. Whether Kidd and Severide ultimately decide to start a family or encounter new obstacles along the way, one thing is certain—their journey will continue to be one of the most compelling aspects of the show.
As season 13 unfolds, viewers will be watching closely to see how these beloved characters navigate the next chapter of their relationship. And with the show’s history of unexpected twists and turns, anything is possible.
