Picking up almost right after the events of the penultimate episode, the Chicago Fire season 13 finale begins with Chief Pascal being brought in for questioning by the police.
While he’s not under arrest, it’s made clear to him that the evidence is not looking good. It looks as though he was stalking the victim, and the officer questioning him makes it clear he’s going to need a good lawyer.
That same morning, Van Meter confronts Severide about withholding information about Pascal from him. He makes it clear to Severide that if Pascal goes down, Severide is going with him as an accessory. After the chat, Severide tells Pascal that he has a witness in Lieutenant Vale, but they fear this could be hard to prove and they need to take things further to clear Pascal’s name.
Severide goes to see Bishop in prison. He tells him he was wrong about Pascal and that he thinks Hendricks is behind the frame job. Severide asks Bishop to confirm that he called Hendricks after he was put away. Bishop is hesitant to cooperate, which is when Severide points out that he’s certain Bishop hates prison more than Pascal and suggests he can help get him a deal if he cooperates.
