"We're Family" Chicago PD "The Weight Station"


Voight says it best that what they do, Chicago sleeps better that night. No one will expect us to do what they do to protect the city of Chicago.
The first 
This week's episode of "Chicago PD" continues just a few seconds after the shooting at Halstead that went to the bartender Maggie. Erin runs out and shoots at the suspect, who makes a getaway but not without hitting them.

Later that morning, Erin and Halstead get to the station, and Dawson and Voight talk about the situation. Ruzek learned that two gunshot victims came in, making Erin and Dawson head up.

They head up there and catch the driver of the getaway car. They get a name, and Voight and Atwater are at the apartment. The suspect makes a getaway and runs out. Atwater catches him, pins him to the wall, and Voight comes.

Later, the suspect is put in the cage; Voight has some time with him and gets religious about where he would like to go, that he's in The Weight Station. After a couple of rough tips from Voight, he talks.

Ruzek gets an officer who looks like a teenage girl because she looks young and gives some information about a phone call being tapped. The suspect mentions a guy by the name of JP.

Voight and Al go to JP's house and bring him in. They talk about the contract that's been put out there. Not only is Halstead on the list, but politicians' family members as well.

When JP agrees to do what Voight asks, they get ready, but a guy, Stallshock, calls PJ and is informed that PJ has Halstead and wants in. So, he takes Halstead alive and follows the directions.

As the squad follows PJ, he gets a phone call telling me where to go until he receives a text message that Stallshock has his son tied and beaten. This angers PJ, and he takes off, drops the car off, gets another phone call, and steals a van, taking Halstead to a location.

It throws off the squad just a bit, but they catch up, and as soon as Halstead and PJ see Stallshock in his car, he drives away. That's when Voight and Erin are on the run to catch him in a drag race, which, to any fan, I think would be very cool to be in a ride along with Voight during this scene.

The squad captures the suspect. Al goes to make another visit with Oscar. After last time, things changed after he put a hit on Halstead; he was moved to another prison location, and a couple of "his friends" were there.

Voight speaks after capturing the suspect, saying they are family and that if anyone knew what they do, they would be tied up to their necks. I have to say, every speech that Voight gives is so motivating; it gets me pumped and ready to fight crime.

We also see that Erin and her mother meet again; this is her mother's wedding day. She did make it and then went to talk to Voight about an incident just after he took her in to live with him. She says he has been a real family member to her, and Voight replies that she was the best thing that ever happened to him.

Also, when JP and Halstead are on the run, it seems that Erin has some real emotions about the safety of Halstead. Maybe she has genuine feelings for him. Who knows?

Another thing is that when Nadia was late to work, Platt got on her. It turns out that Nadia gave Platt a birthday card. Platt was speechless and later tried to figure out why. Nadia wants to be a cop; she looks up to Platt, and if you see their scenes together, they look very similar.

Halstead does go to Chicago Med and waits on Maggie's condition. There was Britt from Chicago Fire, who was there at the scene of the shooting. They talk and later find out that Maggie will make it.

Seems like the new officer has a bit of an edge with Al after bumping him in the halls. Also, he has an attitude. I would like to know about him soon.

This episode had a lot of moments. There was once a scene where Voight and Al took PJ to the station but didn't think that they should pick up his kid, too, for protection. That was one moment that I saw coming.

But it was a very well-entertained hour of drama. Also, after watching next week's promo, it comes to my mind what the promo will be in the three-part crossover., I'm dying to find out soon.

You can catch "Chicago PD" on Wednesday nights at 10/9c on NBC.
