Is Violet is a key part of the team, so could she really be leaving ‘Chicago Fire’?

Violet Mikami, played by Hanako Greensmith, has established herself as a vital member of the *Chicago Fire* team since joining in season 8, stepping into the role previously held by her best friend, Sylvie Brett. As a skilled medic, she has faced numerous challenges, but the promo for the upcoming episode “Through the Skin” has fans anxious about her future.

In this episode, Violet makes a bold decision to attempt a C-section on an unconscious patient, a move that could have serious repercussions for her career. The promo hints at trouble ahead, revealing that her actions lead to the suspension of her EMS license. We see a dejected Violet in the Firehouse 51 locker room, questioning new Chief Dom Pascal about her options, which raises concerns about her position on the show.

However, *Chicago Fire* has a history of creating dramatic scenarios for its characters and then finding unexpected solutions. For example, the show recently teased significant consequences for Kelly Severide, only to have him remain after another firefighter was let go. This pattern suggests that while Violet will face challenges, she is unlikely to be written off completely.

On the relationship front, Violet’s on-again, off-again romance with Sam Carver (Jake Lockett) has added depth to her character. Although they dated in season 12, season 13 has complicated things with Carver now involved with someone else. This subplot is crucial, as firing Violet would undo much of the character development surrounding their dynamic.

Jake Lockett has mentioned in interviews that Carver needs someone who can meet him where he is emotionally, indicating that Violet’s presence in the series is essential for both her growth and Carver’s. While Violet may encounter setbacks in her career and personal life, she is set to remain a key character in season 13 as she navigates her professional hurdles and her relationship with Carver, along with supporting her fellow firefighters at 51.
