Is ‘Chicago Fire’ season 3, episode 20 new tonight? Finale title revealed!

“Chicago Fire” has certainly been doing some unusual scheduling as of late. The NBC series recently aired the backdoor pilot for their “Chicago Med” spin-off, and in a few weeks you are going to get the first of the three-part crossover event between the show, “Law & Order: SVU,” and “Chicago PD.”

Unfortunately, none of this means that you are actually getting some new episodes of anything tonight. On the contrary! There is no new installment of the series Tuesday night, though it will return on April 21 with “You Know Where to Find Me.” This is the episode before “We Called Her Jellybean,” which is a pretty depressing beginning to what could be a very dramatic and story-packed crossover event.

What we can give you tonight in terms of something new is the official title for the big finale this season: “Spartacus.” This was confirmed on Twitter by co-creator Derek Haas, and we really wish that this meant we were going to get Manu Bennett or Katrina Law appearances in here. Sadly, that is probably not the case. Still, this is an interesting title given that this is not exactly a show involving gods of the arena or anything of that persuasion. It’s about the community of men and women inside of a firehouse.

The only thing that we really have on our “please don’t happen” list this season is another death. We’ve already lost both Leslie Shay and Boden’s father, so we’d like to see a finale with at least a little more happiness in it … and maybe not such a devastating cliffhanger.

The CF finale script is finished and turned in. The title is "Spartacus." Brandt is directing… like he did the finale last year.
