Since the detail that Pascal is estranged from his wife made it into his

released character bio, it would be safe to assume that Pascal’s marital

problems will be a central source of conflict in the upcoming Chicago

Fire episodes. The NBC procedural drama will likely shine a spotlight on the problems in Dermot Mulroney’s character’s personal life, which could affect his work. However, fans will have to watch the Chicago Fire season 13 premiere to learn more about Pascal and the extent of how estranged he is from his wife.

Jumping back to the eventful Chicago Fire season 12 finale, Chief Boden applied to become the Deputy Fire Commissioner of the Chicago Fire Department and was offered the prestigious position. While the new career development was exciting, it was bittersweet as it meant Chief Boden had to leave Firehouse 51. Now, an outsider will assume the position of Battalion Chief in season 13. According to the new character’s released profile, one problem in his life separates him from Chief Boden’s story in recent seasons.
