In case you were worried that Sam Carver (Jake Lockett of “Hawaii Five-O”)

was set to storm his way out of the lives of his Engine 51 teammates, it looks like

the actor has confirmed that his character will be back with the crew full time

when “Chicago Fire” reconvenes for Season 13. In an Instagram video posted in June, Lockett showed off footage of himself on the golf course, hanging out with Joe Minoso, who plays Joe Cruz. The jokey short sees them getting photobombed by former fellow cast member Alberto Rosende, and features a caption that reads, “when you and your buddy are enjoying a game of golf and then remember you’re on rival firehouse apparatuses on TV.”

The use of present tense in the post definitely hints that Carver and Lockett aren’t done with the show. And it’s a good thing he isn’t done with the series yet because Season 12 left Sam in quite a pickle. Sam Carver had one tough ride During the Season 12 finale of “Chicago Fire,” Sam Carver finds himself in quite a difficult place. During a call, he comes to blows with the abusive owner of an Italian restaurant.

That puts his position on Stella Kidd’s (Miranda Rae Mayo) truck in jeopardy. Instead of being fired, however, he’s placed on a furlough, which he takes to clear his head. This leads him to finally confront his situationship with Violet Mikami (Hanako Greensmith) and deal with his frustration over feeling second best in her life despite their growing connection. How will Violet and Sam solve their romantic quandary? The answer will arrive when Season 13 of “Chicago Fire” begins at some point this fall.
