Spoiler alert: The following article contains spoilers from Chicago Fire season 13, episode 4, "Through the Skin."

After Chief Dom Pascal dismissed Jack Damon in Chief Boden's exit ahead of Chicago Fire season 13. With Boden gone, the story of the character's return won't reach its full potential in the episodes.

Although Damon has been excused from Firehouse 51, NBC hasn't announced that his portrayer, Michael Bradway, is leaving Chicago Fire, suggesting that Damon will continue appearing in season 13.

During the Chicago PD season 12 finale, Boden accepts a new job as the Deputy Fire Commissioner of the Chicago Fire Department, meaning he leaves Firehouse 51. Pascal takes Boden's place in Chicago Fire season 13, which has been a big adjustment for many. However, the changes keep coming in season 13 as Damon, Kelly Severide's long-lost half-brother, also departs the firehouse after Kidd reports him for insubordination. Now, a familiar character (with ties to Boden) from past seasons will replace Damon.

Kylie Finally s Firehouse 51 In Chicago Fire Season 13

Ritter Is Moving To Truck 81

Kidd struggles to find a new firefighter for Truck 81 who will live up to Pascal's expectations in season 13, episode 4. Her first pick is former Chicago Fire character Kylie Estevez, one of the recruits in Kidd's Girls on Fire Program. However, when Kidd meets with Kylie, she shares her hesitations about ing Firehouse 51 because she doesn't want to continue living under the lieutenant's shadow. So, Kidd is back to square one. Thankfully, Christopher Herrmann has a solution that solves all their problems — Darren Ritter will transfer to Truck 81, and Kylie will take his place on Engine 51.

So, it's a win-win situation for every character involved in Chicago Fire season 13. Kidd finds a worthy successor for Damon on Truck 81 who will make Pascal happy, while Kylie gets to finally Firehouse 51 without being worried about being compared to Kidd. However, there is one downside to Kylie's return in Chicago Fire season 13.

Kylie Returns To Firehouse 51 With Boden No Longer In It

Boden Left After The Chicago Fire Season 12 Finale

Kylie is finally a part of the Firehouse 51 crew right after Boden exited in Chicago Fire season 13. As some may , Kylie was Boden's office assistant before she ed the Girls on Fire program. The two characters share a connection, and it doesn't seem right for Kylie to come to a firehouse that doesn't have Boden in it.

Perhaps Boden can return in a future Chicago Fire season 13 episode to congratulate Kylie on her transfer, but it won't be the same as watching the two work together.

Kylie and Boden worked closely together and their relationship was a delight. So, it's a shame that viewers won't get to see them reunite when Kylie officially becomes a member of the Firehouse 51 family. Perhaps Boden can return in a future Chicago Fire season 13 episode to congratulate Kylie on her transfer, but it won't be the same as watching the two work together.
