Read moreChicago P.D. 4×23 “Fork in the Road” Recap
Spoilers Ahead Case Summary: When kids are overdosing and Bunny’s lover is murdered, the cases tie together in an unsurprising way. Erin makes the decision to accept a job with the FBI. Review | Analysis: Chicago P.D. is a show about good deeds, but at its core, it is a show about family. A family the Intelligence unit has formed through innate dedication to protecting one another. Whether it’s past, present, or future members, the unit has always been a family. And “Fork in the Road” was an episode about family, it was far from perfect, undoubtedly predictable, but nevertheless, it featured some beautiful
Read moreChicago P.D. 4×22 “Army of One” Recap
Spoilers Ahead Case Summary: When a group of pedophiles are targeted and burned, the Intelligence unit must figure out who’s behind it. And since capital punishment is now illegal in Illinois, despite the fact that those burned are criminals, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s now a crime. Erin crosses a line and leaves her career in jeopardy. Review | Analysis: Chicago P.D. is a great show, but like anything in its genre, it can get redundant. Now while that’s not a problem because it mirrors a police officer’s day-to-day lives, on a TV series, it’s up to the characters to make it
Read moreChicago P.D. 4×21 “Fagin” Recap
Spoilers Ahead “Fagin”: an acute reminder of just how compelling this series can be. Case Summary: When a group of bank robbers turns out to be boys under the age of 15, it sends intelligence on a spiraling case to understand who’s controlling the operation. A new member temporarily joins the team, and Platt learns some inspiring information. Halstead celebrates his birthday, and Lindsay deals with the fallout of her actions, though in self-defense, killing a kid heavily impacts her. Review | Analysis: When Chicago P.D. focuses on evolving its characters through realistic everyday decisions as opposed to rash storylines, the series is at
Read moreChicago P.D. 4×20 “Grasping for Salvation” Recap
Spoilers Ahead Case Summary: When the case currently in need of solving holds uncanny similarities to one that took place years ago, Voight and the team must go back to their old files to uncover whether the wrong person was imprisoned. Review | Analysis: I’ve always been under the impression that TV shows are at their most riveting when the stories focus on the characters as opposed to the plot. But every now and then there are heavily plot-focused episodes that focus on characters as well. It’s rare, but it happens, and it when it does, it’s spectacular. “Grasping for Salvation” was that
Read moreChicago P.D. 4×19 “Last Minute Resistance” Recap
Spoilers Ahead No means NO! (Shout it from the rooftops. Write it on the skyline.) Case Summary: When Kim’s sister Nicole (Jules Wilcox) is found sexually assaulted in a train station after a night out with friends, the Intelligence unit must do everything in their power to find the rapists. Review | Analysis: “Last Minute Resistance” is a powerful example of the kind of remarkable storytelling this show is easily capable of. And while Chicago P.D. has tackled assault and rape in the past, no episode has screamed louder than “Last Minute Resistance.” It’s 2017 and yet somehow, it’s still hard to process that no means
Read moreChicago P.D. 4×18 “Little Bit of Light” Recap
Spoilers Ahead Heavy sigh. Case Summary: When a man who films crime scenes and sells them to news outlets dies, Intelligence must figure out who the culprit is. However, what they do come to find is that he was trying to protect a woman whose father had abused her. Voight makes one man’s life a little easier. Halstead and Lindsay take some time. And Kim’s sister visits. Review | Summary: It’s too hopeful to assume the episode was one huge April Fool’s joke, right? For the most part, “Little Bit of Light” was one of the more intriguing case-heavy episodes, but the story

Spoilers Ahead On a scale of one to 10, how heartbroken are our readers right now? Case Summary: When a young girl is found locked up in a secluded area, the Intelligence unit must track down the man who placed the Craigslist ad to lure her. Olinsky returns to work. Jay’s ex-wife (?!?!) returns. Review | Analysis: Chicago P.D. is far from perfect, in fact, its lack of continuity and the decision to ignore significant parts of a character’s life that were previously established never fails to make my blood boil. And the fact that the series makes me angrier than anything else
Read moreChicago P.D. 4×16 “Emotional Proximity” Recap
Spoilers Ahead Why? Case Summary: When a warehouse hosting a rave burns down critically injuring some and killing 39 — Fire, Med, P.D., and Justice must do everything they can to put the right culprit behind bars. As it tragically turns out, one of the injured is Olinsky’s daughter Lexi, who later succumbs to her injuries. Review | Analysis: To say that this crossover was brutal would be an understatement, and it wasn’t my favorite episode. I’ll never revisit it. “Emotional Proximity” along with the other series’ episodes served as solid, seamlessly moving storytelling, but the ramifications of it aren’t entirely great.
Read moreChicago P.D. 4×15 “Favor, Affection, Malice or Ill-Will” Recap
Spoilers Ahead Case Summary: When Olinsky goes undercover after the murder of a woman and hidden gun issues, Intelligence must work behind him to find the culprit. Adam’s down in patrol. Erin gets a new car. Platt gives Ruzek advice. Rixton does the unimaginable. Jay gets to drive. Review | Analysis: There seems to be a running theme of fathers and their children on television this week and Chicago P.D. decided to join in. Any time Olinsky is given moments to shine, I generally find myself in tears. The mirage we’re often left with is one of serenity, and effortlessly reminds viewers of why this

Spoilers Ahead Case Summary: When an LGBTQ building is burned to shreds and a body’s discovered, the Intelligence unit must find the culprit. They must also learn whether it was an accident or purposely done. After a few of the team members hear that they should be cautious of Rixton, they take matters into their hands to find out what happened with the gang unit he previously worked with. Antonio briefly returns, but Ruzek is back for good. Review | Analysis: “Seven Indictments” had a great flow to it and kept me intrigued the entire time. It was especially great to
Read moreChicago P.D. 4×13 “I Remember Her Now” Recap
Spoilers Ahead Raise your hand if the beginning of this episode made you extremely uncomfortable, but all the plaid made it somewhat better. Case Summary: When a 15-year-old is found brutally murdered, the unit learns that she comes from a school known for dealing with mischievous kids. In order to figure out what goes on behind closed doors, Jay must go undercover, where he’ll experience even more traumatic events. Review | Analysis: “I Remember Her Now” was a risk to take, but it’s one that I’m slightly pleased the series has targeted. No matter how uncomfortable it made me (seriously, I was very uncomfortable), it
Read moreChicago P.D. 4×12 “Sanctuary” Recap
Spoilers Ahead Case Summary: When a girl is murdered after her morning run, two kids become the suspects. However, after they run into the church, the officers can’t get to them as they’re then protected by the Pastor. It turns out they weren’t guilty, the church is destroyed, and the culprit is found. Review | Analysis: “Sanctuary” should have aired before “You Wish” because once again we’re left with a lack of continuity that simply doesn’t add up. But that said, for what it’s worth, I adored the focus we had on Atwater and I only wish his scenes were a
