Meanwhile, the last episode featured a big Ramon (Daniel Zacapa) storyline. Viewers finally knew the fate of Dawson's father after he got stabbed. Showrunner Derek Haas talked to CarterMatt about the said cliffhanger from the midseason finale. Dawson and Brett were dispatched to help a stabbing victim and when they got to the scene, they were shocked to find that it was Ramon.
"We had built up Ramon over the course of almost 10 episodes and his relationship with Gabby, and we used the drama of him having talked to her right before that [ending] where she yells at him and says that he only cares about himself. We're thinking about these sort of Good Samaritan stories where someone risks their life for someone else, and it felt like the most unlikely person to be involved would be Ramon Dawson, especially at this point in his life. He's always been a screw-up and selfish. What would you do if you were a paramedic and you got to a scene and the stabbing victim turned out to be your father? That's what we wanted to leave people with," the EP said.
"Chicago Fire" season 6, episode 8 will air on Thursday, Jan. 11, at 10 p.m. EST on NBC.
