Titled 'Something for the Pain,' fans were relieved after the heroine was quickly rescued from the building by her husband, Lieutenant Kelly Severide (played by Taylor Kinney), but there was one scene, in particular, the fans are losing it over.

Following last night's episode, viewers can expect to see the repercussions of the explosion playing out throughout the series. Back in December, co-showrunner Andrea Newman told TV Line:

"The fallout is profound, and it's profound for Severide, as well as for Kidd and Carver. We explore it for a while, the aftershocks of the incident and all the relationships between Carver and Kidd, and Severide and Kidd. Everything gets a little shake-up coming out of that."

We can't wait to see what's in store for the team at Firehouse 51!
