Spoilers ahead for Episode 7 of NBC's Chicago P.D. Season 12, called "Contrition" and streaming now with a Peacock subscription .
The first half of Chicago P.D. 's twelfth season is winding down in the 2024 TV schedule , and the last episode before the fall finale started off badly for Torres before getting vastly worse for him by the time the final credits rolled.
When Gloria's name came up in the course of an investigation, he wanted to believe that she was truly out of the game...
only to learn that she's a powerful player. All in all, it was a great episode of TV to watch but a miserable episode for Torres to endure, so I'm glad to know what actor Benjamin Levy Aguilar was "so happy" about for "Contrition." Torres knew that his career and even his freedom were at risk if Gloria exposed their past as lovers, and Burgess was in the same situation just after getting her promotion to detective due to keeping his secret.
Everything was complicated when Cook went undercover for the first time, and actress Toya Turner wasn't kidding when she said her character wasn't prepared ! The episode ended with Gloria driving off with the undercover cop in the passenger seat after connecting the dots that Cook was really police, and the only reason why Torres' secret isn't on tape is because Burgess cut the feeds at the last moment. And sure, with Cook's fate uncertain at this point, the episode arguably ended worse for her, but Torres was pretty much miserable from start to finish as his .
