There is a lot of room for growth for Carver in season 13. The first is with the way he keeps his past so secretive. This is something he’s done from the start, and it’s time that he starts to open up. Firehouse 51 is a family, and that means having someone to lean on when the past starts to affect everyday work.
He has a great dynamic with many members of Firehouse 51. He gels with the men and women of different ages, and he’s proven to be an excellent ally for Kidd. It’s not like there aren’t people who could give him the chance to unburden himself from the past. Naturally, something like that is going to take time, and maybe Chicago Fire season 13 is the time for that to happen.
Then there’s the relationship with Violet. Season 12 ended with the two in a fight. While it seemed like the two were happy to keep things casual, Carver made it clear that he wanted more. He respected Violet’s wishes, but he would love to be with her on a more serious basis.
Chicago Fire needs a fresh romance, and the two of them offer great potential. We’re sure to see more of their romance throughout season 13. Violet is allowed to move on from Hawkins, and Carver makes a great guy. He stands up for Violet when she needs it, but also allows her to fight her own fights when the time is right.
