When did Violet Mikami first appear on Chicago Fire?
In Season 8, Episode 10 (“Hold Our Ground”), Chief Wallace Boden (Eamonn Walker) announced that Firehouse 51 would be sharing its territory with Firehouse 20, and the entire team groaned. Joe Cruz (Joe Minoso) noticed that Gallo was more upset than the rest of them, and approached him about it.
“The medic over there is just the absolute worst,” Gallo explained, referencing Violet. “We went through EMT training together at the Academy. Bad attitude, super competitive, always looking for an opportunity to fight”
Later in the episode, fans and Firehouse 51 alike met Violet when her team went to Molly’s for drinks. She immediately recited some EMT codes to Gallo, drawing attention from the whole bar.
“I’m gonna guess this is how overachievers flirt,” Darren Ritter (Daniel Kyri) remarked, watching them have a battle of wits.
Did Violet Mikami and Blake Gallo date on Chicago Fire?
Ritter was right: At the end of the episode, Violet and Gallo left Molly’s together. They agreed their hook-up was a “one-time thing.”
However, in the next episode (“Where We End Up”), she woke up in Gallo’s bed, and it became clear that they had slept together for a second time. “Once was fun, twice is the last time we do this,” she told him.
By the end of Season 8 (Episode 20, “51’s Original Bell”), Gallo and Violet were officially an item — but they were in an open relationship. Gallo spotted her at Molly’s when she was on her way to a date with another man, prompting jealousy from him, despite it being his idea to see other people.
Gallo’s jealousy led them to break up before the end of Season 8. Split image of Hanako Greensmith as
