Just watched the latest twist in Chicago Fire, and I’m still processing what went down. Episode 6 introduces Chief Dom Pascal as Boden’s replacement—and at first, it felt like a setup for disappointment.

But the reveal? Completely flipped the narrative.

Pascal backing Severide against the troopers? Unexpected. “I thought he was a snake, but he just played the long game—respect.”“This might be one of the smartest undercover moves in the show’s history.” It’s the kind of episode that makes you rewatch scenes with a whole new lens.

If you’ve been skeptical about Boden’s replacement (like I was), this episode might just change your mind. Watch the full video breakdown, then tell me: do you think Pascal has truly earned his place?

user1:
Not Chief Boden being replaced and the new guy pulling a secret hero arc—this show really said trust issues: activated.

user2:
Okay but why did I go from hating Pascal to wanting to buy him a drink in 45 minutes flat?

user3:
This plot twist gave more emotional whiplash than most entire seasons.

user4:
Boden will always be Chief in my heart, but I gotta admit… Pascal earned that uniform.

user5:
It’s giving undercover king energy. I was ready to throw hands and now I’m clapping.

user6:
Let’s be real: Severide trusting someone new that fast is the most unrealistic part.

user7:
Boden walking away quietly after thirteen seasons feels illegal.

user8:
One minute we’re mourning Boden, next we’re cheering for Pascal. This show is emotionally abusive and I’m hooked.

user9:
Hot take: this twist saved a season that was starting to feel like background noise.

user10:
If Pascal turns out dirty after all that, I’m throwing my remote at the sun.
