Warning: The following post contains spoilers from the current season of Chicago Fire. 

It seems 51 has truly said goodbye to yet another key character, at least that’s what the fifth episode of Chicago

Fire season 13 seemed to suggest. After joining the cast in season 14, it appears that Michael Bradway’s time

as Jack Damon on NBC’s hit drama has truly come to an end.

As fans will recall, in the third episode of the season, Kidd made the decision to put Damon back into the floater pool after he disobeyed a direct order on a call. After he was notified of the decision, Damon lashed out at Severide and it seemed like perhaps that episode was going to be a curtain call for the character.

However, in episode 4, we learned that Damon had landed at Firehouse 20 and he was actually doing really well at the new firehouse. During a visit to the firehouse to try to mend fences, Severide learned that the house’s lieutenant was actually looking to extend a full-time position to Damon and he explained to the house’s chief that Damon was let go from 51 as it simply wasn’t a good place for a kid fresh out of the academy to find his place with all the change going on at the house.

Severide later went to see Damon and we learn that Damon was offered the permanent position. The two brothers then seemed to make up, with Severide reminding him that he doesn’t need to live up to anyone’s name but rather should seek to become the best firefighter he can become and make a name for himself.

The moment left fans wondering if perhaps the storyline was used as an official exit for Bradway, and the show’s fifth episode seems to have confirmed that was indeed the case.
