North: No, it's not weakness, it's decency. Jay: Is that right? I'm your weakest link? I've been searching for the fault lines and this and it's you. Damn good police work which is either tragic or ironic, I'm not sure which. You're the one who ran Voight's GPS the night Roy Walton disappeared. North: You know who that is? Course you do. We can speculate all we want about how this will tear the unit apart, but we're long overdue to see it. It's gone on too long without implementing them, too. But at some point, the series needs to dig into how all of this affects the other characters. And we all know he's whipped when it comes to Hailey. It's something he's wanted to do, so you can't put it past him to agree to it. Let's give him a round of applause!Īnd now, we have to wonder if Halstead will opt to be a snitch, taking down Voight to save Hailey. It's downright laughable that he is now the reason that he has to choose between his fiancee and his boss. It's hilarious that Jay is the weak link, and he is who took North's flimsy case with circumstantial evidence to something legit by leading North to Roy's body. I'm in the middle of working a murder, and you're wasting my goddamn time. If you're right about that, Walton's turning into dirt somewhere, and everyone is where they're supposed to be, so since I'm very obviously not under arrest, I'm going back to work now. I made that promise to Mark Irwin because he had a gun pointed to a civilian's head and that's what he wanted to hear in that moment. I bought new BDUs because real cops get dirty. Hailey: There's a lot of truth in there North, but you don't have a case. You talk now, I will protect you the best way I can, you keep stonewalling me. In some ways I get it, I admire it, but it's still a crime. Roy Walton is dead, and you covered it up. North: You fight for people who can't fight for themselves, and that's what you did here. So, of course, after everything, we find out that Halstead's inability to mind his business, stay in his lane, and let Voight handle things as he has always done caught up to him. Still, we're to assume that this situation hasn't broken them in any capacity despite Halstead's hissy fits. Their conversations about their relationship and how everything affects it keep starting and stopping with no clarity. They've beaten the Upstead and Voight portion of it to death, pardon the pun, and selling us on the friction in the unit would work much better if the others found out what happened sooner and we got to see where everyone fell during the fallout from it. By exclusively exploring every angle from Hailey, Voight, and Jay's end without balancing that out with Kim's, it feels like an incomplete storyline fixated on the wrong things. I want to start my marriage with the woman I love without prison.Īnd yes, the other side could've continued to focus on Hailey in the aftermath of the shooting and everything they've done thus far. Hailey: We're supposed to be together forever, but if you feel what I've done is so terrible, there's no turning back. I want to start my marriage with the woman I love without a prison. Hailey: Do you think I should turn myself in? They had ample room to approach this from two angles: one of those is how all of this affects Burgess after what she endured, including her PTSD from that night, and even explored Burgess and Hailey's friendship with Hailey keeping this secret from her. North had a single moment when he thanked Burgess for her sacrifice because of what happened to her, but all the attention right back to Hailey, which remains one of the most frustrating aspects of this storyline.
