Following their heated confrontation in the Chicago Fire Season 12 finale, Violet and Sam Carver’s relationship has remained strained. Despite Terry no longer being an issue and

Carver settling back into his usual self, the pair has struggled to find their way back to each other. Their unresolved feelings linger, but neither has taken the step to bridge the growing distance between them.

While Violet is currently dating someone new, the relationship hasn’t reached a level of seriousness that would completely rule out a reconciliation with Carver. However, an unexpected

event could change everything. Emma’s return to the scene—and the trouble she’s bound to bring—might be exactly what it takes for Carver to step up and fight for Violet once again.

Carver is well aware of Emma’s manipulative nature, even though he joined Firehouse 51 after Hawkins’ tragic passing. Having been one of Emma’s previous targets, Carver has firsthand experience with her deceptive tactics. Fortunately, the firehouse had his back, ensuring he wasn’t forced out due to her scheming. Given his history with Emma, Carver will likely be immediately on high alert when she reappears, especially if her presence puts Violet at risk.

If Emma’s return leads to a dangerous situation for Violet, it could be the catalyst that reignites Carver’s feelings and pushes him to act. His instinct to protect her may remind them both of the bond they once shared, leading to a potential second chance at romance. With Chicago Fire Season 13 set to deliver more drama and unexpected twists, Emma’s reappearance might just be the spark that brings Violet and Carver back together.
