Chicago Fire Season 13 is heating up with drama between fan-favorite couple Sam Carver (Jake Lockett) and Violet Mikami (Hanako Greensmith). After a rocky ending in Season 12, hopes for a swift reunion have faded, leaving viewers wondering if the spark between them is truly gone or if a new romantic twist is about to make things even messier.
The Icy Divide Between Carver and Violet
At the start of Season 13, it was clear that Carver and Violet’s relationship was on ice. Despite fans rooting for them to reconcile after their emotional split last season, the two have kept their distance. Carver returned to Chicago with a new love interest, Tori, while Violet began exploring new possibilities of her own, meeting a charming new guy named Flynn. This love triangle has created a tense dynamic, leaving fans divided on whether they want to see Carver and Violet reignite their old flame or move on with new partners.
A New Love Triangle Brews
Just when it seemed like Carver was settling into his new relationship, Tori unexpectedly left town, putting him back on the market. Fans immediately began speculating that this could open the door for a reconciliation with Violet. However, Jake Lockett hinted that things are far from simple, suggesting that awkward moments are on the horizon instead of a smooth reunion.
“There’s definitely opportunity there,” Lockett told TVLine, “but now Flynn’s in the picture. From a 20,000-foot view, it feels like things could get awkward really quickly.”
The addition of Flynn complicates matters even further. As Violet starts building a new connection, Carver’s lingering feelings might make it difficult for him to stand by without causing tension. The stage is set for an awkward love triangle that could either rekindle old flames or create new rifts.
Carver’s Lingering Feelings
While the current situation is uncomfortable, it’s clear that Carver hasn’t moved on emotionally. Lockett believes that Carver still has strong feelings for Violet, despite their separation and his brief relationship with Tori.
“Oh, man. It’d be hard not to still be in love after everything they went through last season,” Lockett shared. “I don’t think you can just walk away from something like that and be over it in a few months. It’s going to take time.”
This emotional confession gives fans hope that time might heal the wounds between the two. However, with Flynn now in Violet’s life, the path to reconciliation may not be as straightforward as viewers would like.
Will Carver and Violet Reunite?
While there’s no guarantee of a quick reunion, the exit of Tori does remove one obstacle in the way of Carver and Violet getting back together. Fans are eager to see if the chemistry they once shared can overcome the current complications. Still, it’s not likely to happen overnight. Carver needs time to process his breakup, and Violet is currently exploring her new relationship with Flynn.
Despite the roadblocks, many believe that Carver and Violet are the true endgame couple of Chicago Fire. Their story has had its ups and downs, but the unresolved feelings between them suggest there might still be a chance for a happy ending.
What’s Next for Carver and Violet?
The tension and uncertainty surrounding Carver and Violet’s relationship make for a compelling storyline this season. Will they be able to overcome their differences and find their way back to each other, or will the introduction of Flynn lead Violet in a new direction? Either way, fans are in for an emotional ride as the love triangle unfolds.
