The Intelligence Unit is in trouble! Seriously, with the closing moments of Chicago PD Season 12 Episode 8 , I genuinely need to know what Chief Reid’s deal is and what his newfound “friendship” with Voight is! But first, we need to pour one out for Gloria Perez. What’s Chicago PD’s cardinal rule? Oh, right—CIs always die! Something tells me the hour wasn’t intended to be as funny as it was, but there were so many moments that elicited a chuckle that it somehow managed to be a humorous hour despite the high drama and action. When you have situations like Torres sitting in Voight’s office, like he was reporting to the Principal, or hearing an aggravated Voight tell poor Dante that he wasn’t his father right before giving a tongue lashing like he was, it’s hard not to chuckle.
Or part of the amusement is related to live-tweeting with the lot of you Chicago PD Fanatics as we powered through this adrenaline-pumping hour together. Nevertheless, it was a challenging hour for Torres, who felt immense guilt for so many things that he could barely function and focus on the case at times. Humor and snarks aside, I sympathized with him, particularly because he frequently turned to God, praying his way through some of the most trying moments while routinely beating himself up over everything that happened.
Torres carried so much guilt. The tense moments during the opener where he and Burgess frantically searched for Kiana were the starting point for Torres’ descensi.
