His finale is next Wednesday, and the promo for his farewell promises a lot of emotion.

While there have been multiple cast changes of late on OneChicago, his Wallace Boden character is still very much alive and well, sources said, and Walker is expected to return to the show in a recurring capacity in the future.

Fans will find more clarity regarding what’s been happening with Boden and his plans moving forward in the Season 12 finale, “Never Say Goodbye,” airing on May 22.

The character has been on a short leave of absence due to personal family matters, leaving Severide (Taylor Kinney) in charge, but will return for the finale.

Watch the promo teaser above.
