Howe said that they were pleased with the outcome in light of injury troubles that had hindered their preparations.<ref name=USFS220915/>

Given two Grand Prix assignments for the first time, they won the silver medal at the 2022 Skate Canada International.<ref name=GS221029/> They won a second silver medal weeks later at the 2022 NHK Trophy, qualifying for the Grand Prix Final.<ref name=ISU221118/><ref name=GS221119/> Despite a jump error in the free skate, Chan said they were "very happy with our skate."<ref name=ISU221119/> Chan/Howe struggled at the Final, finishing sixth of six teams.<ref name=GS221209/>

Chan and Howe resumed training together in July, and initially hoped to be ready to compete on the Grand Prix circuit in the fall.<ref name=GS230824/> However, they subsequently had to withdraw from their assignments, as Howe's return to readiness proved slower than they had hoped. He would later say that the process was about getting "to a place where it’s like, oh, wow, this is what it feels like to actually be able to skate and not always be dealing and managing with pain."<ref name=NBC240124/> [[File:Emily Chan & Spencer Akira Howe 2024 Worlds Free Skate 1.jpg|thumb|220px|Chan and Howe performing their free skate at the 2024 World Championships]] Chan/Howe announced that they would return to competition at the 2024 U.S. Championships in Columbus.<ref name=NBC240124/> Despite Chan putting a hand down on the pair's throw loop in the short program, they won the segment by 1.29 points over Kam/O'Shea. Afterward, they announced their withdrawal in advance of the free skate.<ref name=GS012824P/> Howe explained that the short program was "a big success for us, and a huge milestone to our comeback, but we feel we want to take this time to continue to get healthy and set ourselves up for success."<ref name=NBC240125/>

Despite their withdrawal from the national championships, Chan/Howe were named to the American team from the 2024 World Championships in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.<ref name=USFS240318/> They came twelfth in the short program, having had issues on their throw and spins.<ref name=USFS240320/> Thirteenth in the free skate, they finished twelfth overall. Chan viewed the result as "amazing for us," explaining that "last year we had a great debut. This year, we have a little bit different circumstances, but we're here and we're grateful."<ref name=USFS240321/>

Chan/Howe finished this season by finishing fourth at the 2025 U.S. Championships.<ref name=SS-ECSH/><ref name=GS012625P/> "I think we are definitely disappointed just because we worked so hard for this,” said Howe. “I felt like where we came into this competition was a lot different from the other competitions this season. I mean, I guess it’s humbling. Sometimes, you can be as trained as you want, but it goes down to that moment. I will say that this year, we were really fighting for that second world spot, especially after the short.”<ref name=GS012625P/>

====2025–26 season: Milano Cortina Olympics==== [[File:Emily Chan & Spencer Akira Howe – Pair’s free – 2026 Nationals 09 (cropped).jpg|thumb|280px|Chan and Howe being interviewed by Adam Rippon at the 2026 U.S. Championships]] Chan/Howe opened the season by competing on the 2025–26 Challenger Series, finishing fourth at the 2025 CS John Nicks International Pairs Competition and winning bronze at the 2025 CS Trialeti Trophy.

The following month, Chan/Howe placed seventh overall at the 2026 Winter Olympics in their debut at this event. “There was so much pressure on trying to get to the Games,” said Howe. “And here, now that we made it, it’s that pressure of being able to skate great performances in front of such a large crowd. We worked so hard to get to this stage. And once you make it, your brain doesn’t know how to process that. It’s hard to explain. We just felt grateful to be here and to be able to skate as well as we did. It’s a huge blessing for us.”<ref name=GS021626P>{{cite news |url=https://www.goldenskate.com/japans-miura-and-kihara-soar-to-historic-olympic-gold/ |title=Japan’s Miura and Kihara soar to historic Olympic gold |first=Paula |last=Slater |work=Golden Skate |date=February 16, 2026}}</ref>
