Sam Carver's future was left unknown in Chicago Fire's season 12 finale Carver was gravely hurt at the end of the episode following a fire. He was taken urgently to the hospital, but his situation remained unknown. Many people questioned if Carver would live with this cliffhanger.
Indeed, Sam Carver will resurfaced for Chicago Fire season 13. Actor Jake Lockett (who plays Sam Carver) on site for season 13 is seen on a social media video verifying his comeback. Still unknown, though, is the degree of his season participation.
In season 13 Firehouse 51 will have some difficulties. Apart from their regular responsibilities as first responders, they will be handling the aftermath of multiple member deaths. Blake Gallo, Sylvie Brett, Derrick Gibson, and Chief Wallace Boden's departures will create a vacuum in the team both personally and functionally.
Sam Carver's comeback seems unlikely to be a seamless one. Carver's injuries from the season 12 finale could compromise his capacity for performance. He will probably require time to heal both physically and psychologically, hence the team might have to change with his comeback.
Apart from Carver's fate, the Chicago Fire season 12 ending left other narratives unresolved. For Firehouse 51, for instance, the leadership's future is unknown. The firehouse suffers a void upon Chief Boden's leaving. Furthermore still in development is Stella Kidd's relationship with Kelly Severide.
The loss of several members will probably lower team morale. The firehouse will be empty when Brett, Gallo, Gibson, and Boden leave; the team might find it difficult to fill in for them. Their personal ties to those who left are significant. The surviving team members will have to pick up skills in adaptation and encouragement of one another.
