Sam Carver and Violet Mikami’s on-and-off relationship began towards the end of Chicago Fire season 11. The show teased that the two might be attracted to one another. Then, in season 12, Carver and Violet gave in to their obvious chemistry. However, their relationship was limited to friends with benefits because Violet didn’t want to fall in love with a first responder again after what happened to Evan Hawkins. Of course, love can’t be stopped, and Carver professed his love for Violet during the season 12 finale.
Unfortunately, the confession happened during an intense fight between the two, which ended with Carver taking a six-week furlough. When Carver returned to Firehouse 51 in the Chicago Fire season 13 premiere, he wasn’t alone. Violet, determined to make things right with Carver, tried to catch up with him but then stopped and watched as a car with Texas plates pulled up to the station. A woman got out of the car and kissed Carver, and the look of heartbreak on Violet’s face was transparent.
Thanks to Carver’s new (and mysterious) girlfriend, his slow burn romance with Violet continues in Chicago Fire season 13. She is yet another torturous obstacle that stands in Carver and Violet’s way of being together. Nevertheless, Carver and Violet’s love story should end in happiness (if they play by Brett and Casey’s rulebook) — it will just take some time.
