The Chicago Fire Season 12 finale left fans reeling with several cliffhangers that set the stage for an intense Season 13. One of the most shocking revelations was that firefighter Jack Damon (played by Michael Bradway) is the son of Benny Severide. This twist makes Jack the half-brother of Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney), a revelation that shook the firehouse and captivated viewers.
While the explosive moment between Jack and Kelly took center stage, another critical storyline was left unresolved. Earlier in the episode, firefighter Sam Carver responded to a call involving a young man who appeared to be abusing his brother, with their father doing nothing to intervene. This situation triggered traumatic memories from Carver’s own childhood.
The tension escalated when Violet Mikami accused Carver of still harboring feelings for Stella Kidd. Following their confrontation, Carver left the firehouse and took another furlough. The episode ended with Carver sitting in his vehicle, ignoring calls from Violet, leaving fans wondering about his future at Firehouse 51.
Will Sam Carver Return to Firehouse 51?
A recent video shared on Jake Lockett’s Instagram may have hinted at Carver’s fate. The video features Lockett (who plays Sam Carver) and Joe Minoso (Joe Cruz) joking around on a golf course, with text overlay joking about their on-screen rivalry. While the video doesn’t reveal explicit details, it suggests that Lockett will return for Season 13, which is reassuring given the recent cast changes.
The video also includes a cameo by Alberto Rosende (Blake Gallo), adding to the speculation about Carver’s return.
