'Chicago Fire' Just Turned Up the Heat Between Pascal and Herrmann
Chicago Fire increases tensions between its Pascal and Hermann after Mouch voices criticism for the chief, advocating for Hermann to take his job.
The last scene of Chicago Fire's “Post-Mortem” ended with Chief Dom Pascal (Dermot Mulroney), already of the belief that Commissioner Wallace Boden (Eamonn Walker) is pushing for Christopher Herrmann (David Eigenberg) to become chief of 51, staring down Herrmann, who looks back and gives a nod. While the series does seem to be pushing toward that happening down the road, that seemed to be set aside in last week’s episode, “Permanent Damage.” That is, until Randall "Mouch" McHolland (Christian Stolte) talks badly about Pascal behind his back and urges Herrmann to take the position, inadvertently – or purposefully – turning up the heat between the chief and his captain.
