Chicago P.D. finale endings can normally be counted on for some sort of harmful or lethal twist, and the final episode of the 2024 TV schedule did simply that with Gloria’s loss of life. Torres was by no means going to get a cheerful ending with Gloria round, however her loss of life was devastating for him, and Benjamin Levy Aguilar turned in a incredible efficiency. The second that is nonetheless on my thoughts is not that bloody twist for Gloria, although, however quite Deputy Chief Reid confronting Voight. My fingers are already crossed that Shawn Hatosy’s character shall be a worthy opponent for the Intelligence Unit sergeant within the 2025 TV schedule.
Though the case was closed with Torres falling aside and the remainder of the unit not precisely leaping for pleasure, the outcomes actually regarded good on paper with the quantity of medicine and cash seized in addition to dangerous guys taken off the board. (You could find the autumn finale streaming with a Peacock subscription.) After all the pieces, Voight returned to his workplace to seek out Reid ready for him, and the Deputy Chief beat across the bush a bit at first, earlier than Voight pointedly requested why he was there. Reid gave up all pretenses, saying:
As a result of Officer Torres had an unlawful sexual relationship along with his CI. Detective Burgess knew and was complicit, and your staff spent the previous two days making an attempt to cowl the entire thing up. You don’t have anything to say, Sergeant?
Anyone who has been watching Chicago P.D. for longer than a couple of seasons might most likely guess that Voight wasn’t precisely going to crumble at Reid displaying that he had soiled on him and his staff. He simply requested Reid why IAD wasn’t there to arrest Torres, the newly-minted Detective Burgess, and Voight himself. Reid answered:
I might like to make use of the information otherwise. I might such as you and I to be buddies.
One thing tells me that Reid’s thought of friendship with Voight is not going to be grabbing a drink at Molly’s and chatting about life! We already noticed him throw his weight across the unit earlier in Season 12, when he roughly compelled Burgess to take a favor from him and stay in Intelligence as a detective. All in all, whereas a shady boss having soiled on the staff clearly is not good for them, I am excited in regards to the thought of Voight having a worthy adversary inside the CPD who really outranks him.
I am not all the time the most important fan of when One Chicago goes onerous on how a lot Voight cares about his officers after what Upton went via when conserving his secret, however Voight going to bat for his staff towards a higher-up? I am so on board, and Shawn Hatosy has been a terrific addition to the solid as Reid. We additionally have not actually had a higher-up with ambiguous loyalties since Chief O’Neal again in Season 10, so I’ve excessive hopes for some juicy drama out of no matter Reid has deliberate for Voight and Co. when Chicago P.D. returns.
Sadly, the promo for the winter premiere does not give away any particulars on the entrance, nevertheless it seems to be like it is going to be an intense episode. Test it out:
