Violet Mikami (Hanako Greensmith) has become an integral part of Chicago Fire, transitioning from rookie to Paramedic in Charge (PIC) while mentoring newcomer Novak (Jocelyn Hudon). After five seasons, her growth has left fans worried about her future on the show, especially after the recent departure of Jack Damon (Michael Bradway), who was dismissed for disobeying orders. Now, Violet finds herself facing serious consequences after performing a C-section procedure on a patient.
Did Violet Get Fired from Chicago Fire?
Fortunately for Violet, she successfully executed the risky medical procedure. However, her superiors reprimanded her, labeling her actions a “serious breach of duty.” They informed her that her EMS license was suspended pending a review by the Medical Board of Illinois. To clarify, Violet has not been fired; she is merely awaiting the outcome of the review while her license remains suspended.
This suspension means Violet can no longer work in the field. She was removed from Ambulance 61 and instructed to go home. A slight silver lining came from Chief Dom Pascal (Dermot Mulroney), who assigned her desk duties while she awaits the review decision—definitely better than sitting idly at home.
The Season 13 episode “Through the Skin” not only kept Violet on edge but also facilitated a crossover with Chicago Med. In this episode, Violet consults with Dr. Sharon Goodwin (S. Epatha Merkerson) about her chances of passing the review.
Did Violet Get Her Job Back on Chicago Fire?
During her meeting with Dr. Goodwin, Violet learns that her situation is serious, and she may need help from someone in a higher position to sway the Medical Board’s decision. Once again, Chief Pascal steps in, leveraging connections with a Chicago alderman to ensure Violet’s case is viewed favorably.
Thanks to Pascal’s intervention, the review process concludes positively. Violet receives commendation for her actions, leading to the reinstatement of her EMS license. While it may have seemed she was on the verge of losing everything, she ultimately retains her job and is allowed to return to Ambulance 61.
Grateful for Chief Pascal’s assistance, both Violet and Novak express their thanks. Pascal downplays the favor, clearly pleased to have helped Violet. This development is crucial, as there are still many unresolved storylines for her character. Violet is continuing to find her footing as a leader, and her complicated relationship with firefighter Sam Carver (Jake Lockett) remains in flux.
Conclusion
With Violet back in action, fans can look forward to her continued evolution as a paramedic and leader at Firehouse 51. As she navigates her role, relationships, and the challenges of being PIC, viewers eagerly anticipate where her story will lead next. The interplay of personal and professional challenges ensures that Violet’s journey will remain a focal point of Chicago Fire for seasons to come.
