Katie was introduced in the season 2 episode “A Power Move”. Her mother remarried when she was a child, and so we come to learn that she rekindling her relationship with her father, Benny Severide (Treat Williams), as the show gets underway. Severide thinks his dad is having an affair because he sees the two hugging, and is shocked to find out that he has a half-sibling he never knew about.

Despite this rocky start, Katie and Severide get close and develop a strong bond as siblings. It all takes a turn for the worse, however, when Katie is kidnapped by a gangster who has beef with her brother in the episode “Tonight’s the Night”. A frantic Severide goes on the hunt looking for Katie, and though she’s found alive a few days later, she’s badly beaten.

There was some distance with Severide once again, but the funeral proves to be a healing experience, as Katie meets Severide’s girlfriend and catches a glimpse of her brother’s often bottled-up feelings when he gives the eulogy.

Katie currently resides in New York, where she works a high-level restaurant job. It’s unclear whether she will return in future episodes, but if she ever were to do so, than the upcoming wedding between Severide and Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo) would be the perfect excuse.
