Chicago P.D.’s ninth season ended with Voight (Jason Beghe) frantically making an attempt to trace down his CI Anna Avalos (Carmela Zumbado). Anna had gone on the run after killing cartel chief Escano, the goal of a significant investigation. Voight lined up proof of her crime after which went on the hunt for Anna. He discovered her, however in her nervous state, she shot Voight. That led Halstead (Jesse Lee Soffer) and Upton (Tracy Spiridakos) to return hearth in response, killing her.
Unsurprisingly, Voight isn’t taking Anna’s loss of life properly. He’s nonetheless hanging round in Escano’s outdated neighborhood, the place he confronts a vendor whom he thinks remains to be peddling medication. He additionally comes throughout a five-year-old boy who’s by chance ODed on heroin. Sadly, the youngster dies. The tragedy lights a fireplace beneath Voight, who’s extra decided than ever to take down the sellers chargeable for promoting the lethal substance to the boy’s junkie mother and father.
Upton ignores Voight’s orders
Voight is aware of a brand new vendor is transferring into the Little Village neighborhood in Escano’s absence. And he’s decided to search out out who it’s and put him behind bars.

To say Voight is upset with Upton could be an understatement. He’s already offended together with her as a result of she fired the shot that killed Anna (although he tells her he blames himself). Now, her actions have turned what ought to have been a routine arrest into one thing extra difficult.
Upton and Halstead are involved about Voight. However he insists he’s tremendous. If they’ll’t recover from their points with him, “the three of us, we’re not working together anymore,” he says.

As Upton factors out, Voight is on a one-man mission to wash up a single metropolis block. She’s not the solely one who’s observed his fixation. It’s additionally come to the consideration of Chief O’Neal (Michael Gaston).
The chief reveals up at the station for a 1-on-1 chat with Voight. He makes it clear he desires Voight to concentrate on the greater image.
“There’s a lot more crime in Chicago right now” than simply street-level drug exercise, O’Neal tells Voight. “The city’s gone to hell.” The chief factors out he’s given Voight an extended leash. However he has his limits. Voight must let the Los Temidos case – and the loss of life of Anna – go. However will Voight have the ability to do this? He’s not precisely a sticker for following the guidelines. And contemplating the heavy feelings concerned, shutting the door on the Anna case might not be as straightforward as O’Neal thinks.
