This most recent installment of Chicago Fire really got me right where it hurts, and the hits kept coming for the whole hour. On Chicago Fire Season 13 Episode 3, there were several intense storylines playing out parallel to one another. We’re breaking down the episode from Severide’s arson investigation to the tension between Carver and Violet and everything in between.

Everybody Loves Love Relationships were a big theme of the hour, and the episode kicked off with a quick Stellaride scene. I was pretty confident that Stella wasn’t going to hold it against Kelly that he knew about what Damon did, but the confirmation was nice. It was only a brief moment between the couple, but it was enough to remind us that they truly face things as a team.

The love I have for these two is surprising even to me, considering I was firmly anti-Stellaride until this season started. But they really know how to hold each other up when needed, and they always have each other’s back. We got to see Kelly jump at the chance to defend Stella, and we saw Stella give Kelly the pep talk he needed during a low moment.

We love a supportive couple. An Update on a Sinking Ship There was some movement on the Carvolet front, but it wasn’t anything good. At least, not for those of you who are still shipping those two.

(Sorry, I’m firmly on Team Vizzie now.) If Carver had stayed away with his weirdly possessive new girlfriend, we’d all be better off. But instead, he brought Tori into a sacred spac.
