[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for\u00a0Chicago Fire<\/a><\/em> Season 14 Episode 7 \u201cPierce the Vein.\u201d]<\/strong><\/p>\n Is Firehouse 51 about to be called to a scene to save one of its own? It certainly looks like that way with the end of the\u00a0Chicago Fire<\/em> fall finale.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Pascal (Dermot Mulroney<\/a>) may be moving on with the mayor\u2019s chief of staff, Annette (Annabeth Gish<\/a>) following his wife\u2019s death last season, Vasquez (Brandon Larracuente<\/a>) gets shocking news about his father, and Novak (Jocelyn Hudon<\/a>) tries to fix her and her sister\u2019s relationship.<\/p>\n The winter finale also gives us an update on Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo<\/a>), who is in Cleveland helping her and Severide\u2019s foster son with his mother, who is now at a clinic that can help her after a car accident. That\u2019s going well, and the hope is Kidd isn\u2019t gone longer than the two weeks of furlough she has.<\/p>\n Read on for the highlights of the\u00a0Chicago Fire<\/em> fall finale.<\/p>\n The firehouse is called to the scene of a fire at a school over a weekend, and it soon becomes clear that it\u2019s arson and the person responsible was targeting the principal. Severide (Taylor Kinney<\/a>) spots a student, Wyatt, outside, and the principal shares that he\u2019s had to suspend him recently. Wyatt\u2019s father refuses to let Severide and Van Meter (Tim Hopper) talk to his son without a warrant, but it turns out that the teen has an alibi: The arsonist started the fire remotely, since the coffee maker used had a smart plug, and the kid was nowhere near the location tracked to.<\/p>\n When Severide and Van Meter try to talk to Wyatt again, he reveals that there\u2019s a private Facebook group for those who hate the principal \u2014 with 83 members and therefore suspects. Severide and Van Meter go to see the principal, and the episode ends with them up in his apartment \u2014 and someone setting a fire in the stairwell. Uh-oh!<\/p>\n Annette cancels coffee with Pascal with the teachers\u2019 union threatening to strike, and she ends up stopping by 51 with lunch. She talks about how she got hooked on politics and shares her current stress: They\u2019re trying to avoid schools shutting down, but wherever they find money, someone else will be pissed at them. Pascal suggests taking it from items further down the priority list, to not fix the fence before the roof, as his grandfather said. Then he\u2019s called to another house for a minor injury on the job.<\/p>\nSeveride & Van Meter\u2019s Major Cliffhanger<\/h2>\n
Will Pascal\u2019s New Romance With Annette End Before It Starts?<\/h2>\n
