Are Chicago Fire’s Violet and Novak ready for romance after their shared love interest Vasquez saved their lives?

During the Wednesday, April 22, episode of the NBC series, paramedics Violet Mikami (Hanako Greensmith) and Lyla Novak (Jocelyn Hudon) found themselves trapped in a basement bunker after a man claimed his pregnant wife was in labor.

As their captor — who was holding his pregnant tenant hostage — began to unravel, firefighter Sal Vasquez (Brandon Larracuente), joined forces with the police in an effort to track down Violet and Novak.

While Vasquez’s knowledge of the women helped him find them before anyone died in the bunker, Greensmith, 29, and Hudon, 31, exclusively told Us Weekly that doesn’t mean either paramedic is ready to make him their new man.

“I think [the episode] was further cementing friendships, especially between Violet and Novak,” Hudon revealed, noting that the paramedics are choosing to focus on their working relationship — and not worrying about Vasquez.

The actress noted that coming out alive after leaning on each other signified Novak and Violet “realigning our priorities and being able to say things and accept things and just flush out the unsettled thoughts and have them accepted.”

Prior to the kidnapping, Novak told Violet that she was hurt that she kept her Vasquez hookup a secret for so long. (Violet and Vasquez had a one night stand earlier this season, but Violet stopped it from happening again after she realized that Novak might like him more than she was letting on.)

Once they were safe, Novak and Violet had a heart-to-heart in the back of an ambulance and agreed to be honest with each other, always.

“[They were like], ‘All right, we trust each other, both professionally and personally. Let’s move forward,’” Hudson said of the scene.

Greensmith agreed with Hudon’s assessment, telling Us that Violet and Novak’s partnership is “what’s most important” for each of them.

She teased that “as far as Vasquez goes,” fans will “spend a lot of the rest of the season” learning more about his character and “trying to understand what goes through his head.”
