For those who’ve missed Alvin Olinsky, then gear up for a touching second!
It is protected to say that the sequence hasn’t been the identical since Al’s brutal dying in Chicago PD Season 5 Episode 22. And Voight hasn’t been the identical since he misplaced his finest good friend and accomplice, primarily as a result of Voight’s actions.
Any reference to characters of the previous all the time warms the center, and it is no exception once we get a major one throughout Chicago PD Season 10 Episode 13.
How that involves be is fascinating, however first, let’s break down some issues we all know and might speculate about “The Ghost of You.”
The hour will focus closely on the brand new however underused character, ASA Nina Chapman.
We have not spent a lot time along with her, however we have realized how a lot of a pressure she is once we see her.
It takes somebody particular to get Voight’s consideration and have him actively rooting for them to succeed. Voight promised Chapman that he’d get her the place she wanted to be, again her throughout her ascent to energy, and make her look good, and he is meant it.
Not since Voight’s connection to Nicole Ari Parker’s Samantha Miller have we seen him prepared to go to bat for and work alongside somebody in energy. So it is no shock that when Chapman wants assist, Voight is who she will be able to lean on in a time of want.
The previous two seasons have handled many drug circumstances, and this episode will likely be no exception when Chapman enlists the Intelligence unit’s assist with a drug supplier from her previous.
This particular person manages to evade the regulation and a prolonged jail sentence, presumably partly as a result of Chapman’s informant disappeared.
One can solely guess that a lot of the case hinged on the testimony of this informant, and the second that particular person vanished, the case went down the drain.
However does that imply that the informant is somebody who has gone lacking lately? And by “lacking,” are we to guess that it signifies that particular person is useless?
It is simple to leap to the conclusion that the informant in query is swimming with the fish based mostly on how distraught Chapman seems in many of the photographs.
Almost each picture of her has her close to tears or visibly shaken. We even get a few stills of Voight offering consolation to her.
Voight has positively gotten a bit softer in recent times, and we additionally know he goes to bat for these round him, so he is most likely taking over the case, no questions requested, and going to nice lengths to get justice and assist Nina.
Though there’s hypothesis that no matter Chapmans’s connection is to this case, there’s one thing deeply buried, and if it will get out, it may change every thing for her.
Her complete presence on this present has been certainly one of an bold girl who needs to climb the ladder and garner energy and status to invoke actual change.
In some ways, she looks like one of many good ones with huge plans for town.
She most likely has some skeletons in her previous, and so they’re about to get unearthed except Voight can do one thing about it.
In the case of her connection to this drug runner, a strong wager is that she’s both romantically entangled with the particular person, or no less than was prior to now, or she has some familial or different private connection to the drug runner in query.
And that actually could be a secret from Chapman’s previous that might completely harm her future and profession.
With a case pertaining to medicine, it is protected to say that a few of the staff members could also be going undercover. And the perfect particular person for the job could also be our beloved new rookie, Torres.
He is confirmed distinctive within the discipline, with nice instincts and the flexibility to navigate sure conditions and mix into the environments.
It is all the time a thrill when he goes undercover, so we’re already enthusiastic about that.
Since Jay’s departure, the dynamic bromance that’s Ruzwater has taken Torres beneath their wing and confirmed him the ropes, mentoring him as finest as they’ll.
Lately, Torres has spent loads of time beneath Ruzek’s tutelage, and evidently’ll be the case but once more when each of them are in some naked surroundings that could be essential to discovering their suspect.
Atwater seems to be on surveillance responsibility once more, which is one thing he is nice at, however hopefully, taking a literal backseat does not imply he’ll be absent from many of the episode.
And hopefully, we’ll get some replace on how his relationship together with his estranged father is coming alongside. We’re overdue for a reference to that specific level of his private life.
One thing about this case should hit near dwelling for Voight or have him interested by the previous.
We see photographs of him paying his respects to Olinsky’s gravesite, and you’ll see how affected he’s by the motion.
There’s additionally a picture of him with Ruzek alongside him, and it could be throughout the identical time-frame. Does Ruzek go to Al’s grave too?
What if it is Al’s birthday or the anniversary of his dying? In that case, it is sensible that Al’s finest good friend and accomplice and the cop he molded and mentored into his picture are those to pay their respects collectively.
It is certain to be an emotional episode with the Olinsky references and an fascinating one with the implementation of Chapman.
And it serves as a precursor that may lead us into the momentous two hundredth episode.
