Here is a brief recap of Season 13 Episode 21 of Chicago Fire

In the previous episode, the firefighters dealt with a case where a car went up in flames, with Robert Franklin being the victim. Although he is rescued, the incident becomes alarming when the team discovers a similar incident occurred around two months ago involving the same person, in which Monica Pascal was killed. Only Severide knew that Chief Pascal, at the brink of his grief, was behind this man he thought was responsible for his wife's murder. Therefore, he doubts Chief Pascal might try to kill Robert.
The team finds out that the fire happened before the car hit anything, and this leads to them to discover that tampering has been done in the car, to trigger the incident. Severide later tells Pascal that he would have to present an alibi to prove where he was on the day of the attack.
The season finale is anticipated to address the escalating tension surrounding Chief Pascal's possible involvement in the car fire incident. Severide's confrontation with Pascal and the subsequent investigation will likely come to a head, leading to significant developments for Firehouse 51.
