Expected Episode Runtime
While the official duration for Episode 21, 'The Bad Guy', has not been explicitly confirmed, based on the consistent runtime of previous episodes within this season, viewers can anticipate the episode to be approximately 45 minutes in length. Throughout Season 13, the episodes have generally ranged between 40 and 45 minutes, delivering a solid dose of drama and action within that time frame. It is worth noting that the season finale, Episode 22, which is scheduled to air the following week, might potentially have a slightly extended runtime to accommodate the culmination of the season's storylines.
Plot for 'The Bad Guy'
Episode 21, 'The Bad Guy,' promises a compelling narrative with several key storylines intertwining. The central plotline revolves around the unsettling aftermath of a deadly car crash. The situation takes a particularly personal and potentially volatile turn when the individual directly responsible for the tragic death of Chief Dom Pascal's wife is rescued from a separate accident. This unexpected rescue forces the firehouse team to confront a painful past. Adding to the tension and creating suspicion within Firehouse 51, evidence emerges that suggests a piece of their own firehouse equipment might have been involved in the initial deadly car crash. This revelation raises serious questions and casts a shadow of doubt over the team, hinting at the possibility of someone within their ranks being implicated.
Meanwhile, amidst the high-stakes emergency calls and internal investigations, personal relationships continue to evolve. Stella Kidd and Sylvie Brett's sister, Natalie, will share quality time together during a road trip, allowing them to further develop their burgeoning connection and strengthen their bond. For Violet Mikami, professional recognition arrives in the form of a feature in a local newspaper. This newfound attention also brings a significant career opportunity her way, potentially altering her trajectory within the firehouse. However, the team as a whole faces a looming threat that could impact everyone's future: the possibility of layoffs. The efficiency expert, Ambrose, continues his assessment of Firehouse 51, scrutinizing Herrmann's leadership decisions and identifying potential redundancies within the team. Veteran firefighters like Christopher Herrmann and Randall "Mouch" McHolland find themselves directly in the line of questioning and potential cuts. Mouch, ever the steadfast and loyal member of Firehouse 51, vehemently pushes back against Ambrose's evaluations, firmly stating that they are not going anywhere. The ultimate impact of Ambrose's efficiency measures and the potential for layoffs remains a significant point of suspense as the season nears its conclusion.
Upcoming Episode Schedule
To ensure fans don't miss any of the remaining action in Chicago Fire Season 13, here is the schedule for the final two episodes:
Episode 21: The Bad Guy – May 14, 2025
Episode 22: It Had to End This Way – May 21, 2025
The final episodes of the season are poised to deliver high-octane emergencies, significant character developments, and the resolution of the looming threats facing Firehouse 51, making them must-watch television for the show's dedicated fanbase

Donald Trump calls Taylor Swift 'no longer hot' while praising Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad
Taylor Swift Dragged into Sydney Sweeney Ad Drama as Trump Says She's Not 'Hot' Anymore. (Image-X) You'd think a jeans commercial wouldn't be political warfare, but here we are. What started as a cheeky American Eagle campaign featuring Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney has spiraled into an unexpected culture war with Taylor Swift caught in the crossfire. The moment the words 'great jeans' turned into a thinly veiled pun about genetics, the internet exploded. And then came Donald Trump , calling Sweeney 'hot,' dragging Taylor as 'no longer hot,' and turning what should've been a harmless denim moment into a full-on GOP-vs-Swift spectacle. Trump calls Sydney Sweeney 'hot' and Taylor Swift 'no longer hot' for the American Eagle ad drama American Eagle's new campaign featuring Sydney Sweeney was all about wordplay: 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans,' with the word genes crossed out in classic handwritten rebel font. But what was meant to be flirty and fun got dragged on social media for echoing eugenic undertones. Critics online pointed out how the ad seemed to elevate a very specific standard of beauty, white, blonde, blue-eyed and combined with genetics talk, things got uncomfortable real fast. Then Donald Trump got involved, and chaos officially began. After finding out Sydney is a registered Republican, Trump went straight to Truth Social and posted: 'Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the HOTTEST ad out there. It's for American Eagle, and the jeans are flying off the shelves. Go get 'em Sydney!' He followed it up with, 'Being WOKE is for losers. Being Republican is what you want to be.' He even took the opportunity to bash Jaguar or any company that doesn't align with his vibe. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Bo Derek's Probably The Most Gorgeous 68-Year-Old. Paperela Undo But the most unexpected moment? Trump deciding to take a swipe at Taylor Swift out of nowhere. Trump randomly veered into pop star territory, taking a direct shot at Swift's popularity. He said: 'She was booed out of the Super Bowl and became NO LONGER HOT .' Cue the record scratch. The attack felt wildly out of place, especially since Taylor had nothing to do with the jeans ad but that didn't stop Trump from making it political. With Swift being vocal about progressive causes and her support for Biden, it's clear she's the go-to 'woke celeb' target for conservative outrage. So when Sweeney got the Republican stamp of approval, Swift naturally got the backhanded burn. This isn't the first time Trump's taken jabs at Taylor, but calling her 'no longer hot' while praising Sweeney as the new conservative darling? That's petty on a whole new level. American Eagle's stock soared nearly 24%, because of course controversy sells. Right-wing pundits like Megyn Kelly and Ted Cruz jumped in to praise Sweeney's 'anti-woke energy,' while left-leaning critics continued dragging the brand for 'objectifying' women and playing with dangerous cultural symbolism.
