Preview — Chicago Fire Season 12 Episode 13: The Team Says Farewell to Boden on the Season Finale

Chicago Fire, Previews

The team says farewell to Boden on Chicago Fire Season 12 Episode 13, “Never Say Goodbye.” 

The promo for the season finale episode teases an “emotional farewell,” with the team at 51 telling Boden how he’s inspired them and made them all a family. It would seem the exit has something to do with the race for Deputy Commissioner.

Hopefully, that comes with some positive news.

While the episode description reads only that Boden “makes a decision that impacts the race for Deputy Commissioner,” we also know that Eamonn Walker will no longer be a series regular on Chicago Fire after this season. 

Meanwhile, the finale also includes a call that brings up some tough emotions for Carver — and Damon as well. There’s also a new truck at 51, and Mouch finds that adjustment to be a challenge.
