It won’t be a few more months until new episodes of Chicago Fire debut.

That being said, it sounds like the creatives behind the first-responder procedural

already have a clear idea of what’s next for some of its characters, particularly

Miranda Mayo’s character. As previously revealed by showrunner Andrea Newman, Chicago Fire season 13 will further delve into Kidd’s family history. She reminded viewers that in “season 5 that her parents died when she was young, and she was raised by her aunt and uncle,” but “there is definitely more in her family story to be revealed. Stay tuned…”

Exploring the past of Firehouse 51 personnel has always been part of Chicago Fire’s storytelling blueprint. It’s the show’s way of humanizing its characters, which makes it easier for the public to be invested in the show. For a while now, Kidd’s personal life has revolved solely around her relationship with Severide, but that is about to change when Chicago Fire season 13 starts digging again into her past. Considering her less-than-ideal history, which includes a bad marriage, it’s safe to say the upcoming reveals about her aren’t going to be all good.

Severide’s family history has also already been tackled in One Chicago multiple times, particularly his relationship with his late father. Considering the plot twist that Jack Damon is Benny Severide’s son in the Chicago Fire season 12 finale, expect that it will be a big part of the Rescue Squad 3’s leader’s upcoming arc. Exploring Kidd’s unsavory past, which may result in more heartbreaking revelations about her history, would explain why she was so taken aback when Severide just randomly brought up the idea of having kids as if they just haven’t gotten past some serious marital issues.

Assuming that Chicago Fire season 13 adds to her heartbreaking past, Severide not even considering his wife’s struggles and just blurting out his desire to have children would further damage his image.
