Of course, Jake Lockett’s Sam Carver has been a fantastic and important addition to Chicago Fire, making his return all the more exciting. However, the fact that the NBC procedural drama has lost several cast members in the past year also makes Lockett’s presence in Chicago Fire season 13 relieving. From Sylvie Brett to Chief Boden, the show cannot afford to lose any more significant (and fan-favorite) characters, including Carver.
Chicago Fire season 12, episode 13, “Never Say Goodbye”
Ultimately, it seems as if the season 12 finale’s cliffhanger regarding Carver’s whereabouts is just that — a cliffhanger. When season 13 opens, Lockett’s character will probably still not be mysteriously missing and the audience will likely see the fallout of Carver’s fight with Violet. Much to my (and others’) relief, Carver will return in Chicago Fire season 13, continuing his story and enthralling romance with Violet.
