heads up: episode 13 of Chicago P.D.’s current season, titled “Street Jesus,” contains spoilers. You can catch it tomorrow if you’ve got a Peacock subscription. (as a movie enthusiast) I wanted to let you know that if you haven’t seen the latest episode of Chicago P.D., titled “Street Jesus,” beware, there are spoilers ahead! Make sure to tune in tomorrow with your Peacock subscription to catch it.
In the upcoming TV schedule for 2025, the latest episode of Chicago P.D. began on an encouraging note for Kevin Atwater as he assisted in fundraising for a community center in his neighborhood. However, things took a turn for the worse when a shooting occurred shortly after the event concluded. The case had personal implications for the officer, making it no surprise that he found himself grappling with the situation. A reprimand from Voight followed, complete with a reference to one of his most memorable lines from the series debut back in 2014.
In an attempt to safeguard the reputation of a decent man, Atwater went to great lengths to exclude him from the case, even prompting Ruzek to persuade him to reveal the truth to Voight. Although the sergeant was displeased by Atwater’s withholding of information, he didn’t entirely blame him when the outcome was that good man meeting his end on the street. In the end, Voight agreed that it wasn’t necessary to make it public knowledge that Hype had been undercover for the CPD to preserve his legacy. Atwater acknowledged this gesture with a grateful “Thanks, Sarge,” recognizing its value in maintaining good relations with local bankers and businesses.
They settled on a variant of reality where the man’s name was omitted from all documents, yet Voight had one final, poignant remark to share as they parted: “Goodbye.
Kevin, please be honest with me this time. Regardless of your intentions, I insist on truthfulness. Let’s keep things straightforward here… Instead of deceiving others for you, just tell the truth.
The idea that Atwater initially picked up from Voight was expressed more than a decade ago in their first encounter on Chicago P.D., which was during its premiere in 2014, when even Chicago Fire had only just started its second season. Over the years since then, similar sentiments have been reiterated, such as when Halstead flipped it around in Season 9 by urging Voight to always be truthful with him so he could shield the sergeant from himself. (Ah, reminiscing about the old Upstead vs. Voight conflicts!)
Even now, hearing Voight’s “tell me the truth so I can lie for you” line sends a chill down my spine, making me yearn to revisit that moment, approximately six minutes into the pilot episode, currently streaming on Peacock. It was odd to see the squad room teeming with characters long gone, such as Sophia Bush’s Lindsay, Jon Seda’s Antonio, and Elias Koteas as Olinsky (though he returned to play a 2024 hallucination of Olinsky). Intriguingly, I paused the episode when I spotted Patrol Officers Atwater and Burgess. It struck me anew just how youthful LaRoyce Hawkins appeared in his initial portrayal of his character.
If you doubt my words and are unwilling to watch the series premiere personally, simply observe the difference between then and now!
It was clear to me that it had been quite a while since 2014 when I decided to rewatch the series, and LaRoyce Hawkins was just starting out as Atwater when Season 1 debuted all those years ago. However, watching Atwater again as part of Platt’s patrol team brought back memories of how much he’s grown since then, and the hardships he’s faced. I can’t help but wish that some of his past experiences over the last twelve seasons would have led to him becoming a detective, but so far only Burgess has received the promotion.
In a different phrasing: Was it truly essential for Atwater to be reminded about the functioning of the Intelligence Unit and Voight’s practice of protecting his officers by lying if they tell him the truth? That might not usually be the case, but considering the emotional turmoil he faced in “Street Jesus,” I’m still left wondering how he managed to give a speech as Kevin Atwater in his neighborhood and then go undercover within the same episode.
According to the upcoming episode preview airing on NBC on Wednesday, February 26 at 10 p.m. ET, Ruzek is set to revisit one of his most emotionally charged cases from recent times. Here’s a sneak peek:
In her second appearance, it seems like young Zoe is set for another harrowing ordeal – she’s reportedly going to be kidnapped! I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they’ll bring back Jack Coleman as Disco Bob in this episode, and maybe even introduce Ruzek’s sister based on the hints from the last one.
Every time, P.D. concludes NBC’s popular One Chicago block of primetime programming. This block begins with Chicago Med airing at 8 p.m. ET, followed by Chicago Fire at 9 p.m. ET, and ends with Voight and the Intelligence Unit. If you fancy rewatching the pilot as I did or even catching up on Zoe’s first episode before next week, you can stream every episode of P.D. on Peacock now.
