Everyone knows the One Chicago universe has loads of ships, however few can stand the check of time.
Even fewer can rise from the ashes to the diploma of Chicago PD‘s legacy couple, Burzek.
Sure, I mentioned legacy. Within the collection’ lengthy historical past, few romances can say that they’ve outlasted everybody fairly like Burzek.
These two have been orbiting round each other since Chicago PD Season 1, even when Ruzek was engaged to another person.
Infidelity is a trope that irritates my soul, but I couldn’t resist the chemistry simmering between them once they shared their first kiss throughout Chicago PD Season 1 Episode 10.
It was the beginning of one thing particular that grew to become a staple of the Burzek relationship via all of its ups and downs, on and off: safety, tenderness, and kindness.
Ruzek is among the collection’ most honorable, protecting, and constant characters. Earlier than he may anticipate the place their lives would take them, he knew Burgess was an individual he wanted in his life.
And Ruzek cares about his individuals — as soon as he’s carved out an area for them in his life, it’s a accomplished deal, solidified, fated.
No surprise the pair discovered their method to each other with an engagement throughout Chicago PD Season 2. Nonetheless, it wasn’t their time, however that made their journey all of the sweeter.
Burzek’s love is enduring and resilient. I can not consider something extra badass than these two tackling their impenetrable bond each bit as a lot as they do perpetrators.
Even at their absolute worst, Ruzek and Burgess had been pals — household. There’s nobody with out the opposite. It makes their romance all of the extra significant because the embodiment of an “the whole lot ‘ship.”
Their bond transcends all labels and conformity, embodying the whole lot: pals, lovers, companions, and now, blessedly, soon-to-be husband and spouse.
Their means to flit out and in of those roles with relative ease proves that their purest sense of connection is that of soulmates.
No couple on Chicago PD has confronted the challenges that they’ve collectively. They’ve each almost misplaced one another a number of occasions — seeing the love of your life combating for theirs, effectively, it’s as for those who’re dying, too.
Via the years, it doesn’t matter what was occurring, Ruzek and Burgess stored discovering their approach again to at least one one other.
The sluggish burn is essentially the most compelling. It was irritating that two individuals who match one another wholly spent a lot time aside.
However it was additionally gratifying, too.
Whereas the romance reached irritating new heights of sluggish burn, even thawing fully, the collection additionally gave them area to develop and evolve individually.
It made their official reunion all of the sweeter.
For Burzek, reuniting is a real selection as a result of, like magnets, they’ll endlessly drawn to at least one one other.
Ruzek and Burgess labored for his or her romance and love story, forming a household effectively earlier than they wanted to outline it with romantic overtures.
We noticed that with an unplanned pleasure turned tragedy throughout Chicago PD Season 7.
It was Burzek’s near-insurmountable problem so far, and the next ache examined the character of their bond in deeper methods.
Nonetheless, destiny deliberate for these two to have their household in some capability.
Mockingly, what examined them most additionally introduced them collectively: unorthodox parenthood, partnership, and household.
Makayla grew to become this piece to a Burzek puzzle that solidified their union effectively earlier than they allowed themselves to see it throughout Chicago PD Season 8.
By Chicago PD Season 10, we had this stunning household, dwelling collectively, being comfortable, and finally, within the finale, reuniting romantically, punctuating the normal sense of it with a well-timed second of Makayla calling the person who already owned the function, “Dad.”
It feels just like the season of Burzek, as we’ll finally see a long-awaited second of their nuptials, almost a 12 months after a quiet, intimate, and lowkey proposal throughout Chicago PD Season 11 Episode 3.
I assume the third time actually is the appeal — and persistence is vital.
Valentine’s Day makes us consider the fantastic thing about love and the way it transforms, and Burzek personifies that.
