Meanwhile, episode 2, entitled "Wow Me" will reveal the return of Severide but this time, "he is clearly not his usual self."
"Severide comes back to work; Mills discovers more information about his father's family," the synopsis for this upcoming Tuesday show reads.
In a report by Entertainment Weekly, executive producer Matt Olmstead shed light about how the character will come to terms with the loss.
"He just becomes a little bit detached from people. Not so much a depression, but it's a, 'I don't really care anymore because nothing lasts forever, nothing makes sense," he said. "I don't really give a s--- I'm just going to have a good time. I'm going to do my job. I don't care about consequences. I don't really care about anything.'"
"It's ostensibly a guy who's gone back to his party boy behavior, but what he's doing is trying to outpace and outdistance this grief that he's not dealt with, and it's just a matter of when it's going to catch up to him and what's he going to do when he ultimately has to deal with that," the executive producer added.
"Chicago Fire" Season 3 episode 2 will air on Sept. 30 at 10 p.m. on NBC.
