Hermann and Mouch prepare for their officer tests in Chicago Fire Season 13 Episode 8
While many suspected that Hermann would take the captain's position in Season 13, we got a new captain in Pascal instead. While he has grown on the fans, seeing Hermann rule Firehouse 51 would have been great.
The midseason finale saw Hermann finally give the officers a test alongside his best friend, Mouch. However, Hermann's qualifying for the test would create some problems in the hierarchy of Firehouse 51.
With Pascal heading the team, if he decides to stay at Firehouse 51 for a long time, Hermann would have to transfer to another station. However, if he does fail and stays here, it would create problems for Mouch, who, if qualified, would become the Lieutenant.
However, the episode ends without discovering the characters' fates, but we hope to see all our favorite characters in the upcoming episodes.
Cruz receives a threat on Chicago Fire Season 13 Episode 8
Cruz receives a threat in the episode when he finds a bullet placed in his locker, as well as his car. He brushes it off, thinking it is a prank by Tony and Capp, but his brother Leon turns up with disturbing news.
The threat goes back to when his brother had connections with a gang called Insane Kings. Cruz left the group leader, Flaco, to burn alive in a fire after he saved his brother Leon.
Apparently, Flaco's cousin has come back to avenge his brother's death with Cruz and Leon. Earlier, Cruz also received a container filled with Flaco's ashes.
This threat doesn't look good for Cruz, who might get into serious trouble with Chicago's criminal gangs.
Novak loses control on one of the calls in Chicago Fire Season 13 Episode 8
Novak has always been one of the characters who can brush up on the negative things they see daily on calls in their line of work. But this episode saw Novak attending a call that hit too deep to home, and she lost control.
She and Violet were assigned for a wellness check. They found a man hanging from the ceiling. He was thankfully alive as the two quickly worked out to bring him down. Novak lost it. She screamed at him for thinking such a stupid thing and even chastised him for pulling such a stunt.
While it is not entirely clear what took over Novak, one can assume that she has a family secret relating to the events of this call. She might have lost one of her family members, or possibly a sibling, to suicide.
