Following a heart-pumping Season 9 finale Chicago P.D.s Season 10 premiere picked up two weeks after the tragedy surrounding Annas death.
The Intelligence Unit is clearly still grappling with the professional (and personal) fallout of the case particularly Hank Voight (Jason Beghe) Jay Halstead (Jesse Lee Soffer) and Hailey Upton (Tracy Spiridakos). we break down how the three officers attempt to work through their differences in Season 10 Episode 1s Let It Bleed and what it could mean for one of our favorite Chicago P.D. ships Upstead.
What happened between Halstead Upton and Voight?
The trio have plenty of history that could be the cause of tension. However it all came to a head in the Season 9 finale when Halstead and Upton begrudgingly supported Voight when he went off the books in an attempt to take down Escano. Voights questionable decision-making eventually led to Annas death when Halstead and Upton had to shoot the informant in order to protect their boss.Fast-forward to the Season 10 premiere and Upton still doesnt trust Voight. Hes put the Intelligence Unit on another drug case in the same neighborhood ruled by Escano and has the team following an undercover Torres partnered with one of Voights informants as they try to score drugs from a dealer named Enzo. Upton second guesses Voight throughout the investigation and Halstead trying to keep the peace attempts to balance listening to Voight and being loyal to his wife.
In the end Upton breaks rank which results in a spooked Enzo who ends up getting killed following a police chase. However Upton finally confronts Voight.You havent been making many calls in the last two weeks she tells him. Youre on a one-man mission to patrol one block of this city. I get it I do. But Voight you can barely even look at me. I know you blame me for Annas death and I know that youre not OK. Youre dragging this unit and youre dragging Jay through the mud with you and youre gonna lose them with both.
What ultimatum does Voight give Upstead?
Following the investigation Voight has some answers from Upton but they come with a warning for both her and a concerned Halstead.I am OK. Im always gonna be OK. Hailey I can look you in the eye he says. Annas death was my fault mine alone. You are not my keeper and youre not each others. Look Im making choices you dont like? That is on me. Hes making choices you dont like? That is on him. Him alone. Now we gotta be done with all of this. If it ever shows up on the job again the three of us were not working together anymore understood? Its that simple.
What does this mean for Upstead?
Voight has basically just told them that their days as partners could be over if they dont find a way to trust each other and Voight again. This is worrisome for a couple who love their jobs in the Intelligence Unit just as much as they do each other.
Were good right? Halstead asks Upton.
Yeah of course right? she asks back. His response? Yeah of course.Honestly that moment between the newlyweds wasnt entirely convincing. But hopefully this just means theyre working through a setback and theres no permanent trouble for Upstead in store this season.Haileys worried about Jay Spiridakos told TV Insider. Theyre both concerned for Voight but their approach to how to handle it is very different.
