NBC released early footage for Chicago Fire Season 13, Episode 18.
The new episode of Chicago Fire is noteworthy because it marks the return of Chief Wallace Boden.
Eamonn Walker played Boden for the first 12 years of the hit show.
Walker last appeared during the Chicago Fire Season 12 finale (Never Say Goodbye).
Despite the episode’s name, Boden did say goodbye to Firehouse 51. He got a promotion within the Chicago Fire Department.
Now, Boden is back, bringing a dramatic storyline with him.
