This episode wasn't so disappointing at all. In fact, I believe that it was one of it's best episodes yet with the fact that it was about one character, Burgess. Since that fall finale ending of getting shot, it's time that we see her face some changes in her life as well.
With her typical day of going to a local dinner, eating the same breakfast as always. One costumer talks to her and guesses currently about the price of her meal. I'd be like freaking out and leaving if someone did that to me.
Anyway, it comes to mind that Burgess is a bit predictable, and soon when she's with Roman on the beat, they make a stop at the local grocery store and sees two guys walking into a building. Burgess tells Roman and goes over to investigate it.
Roman talks her down, by telling her that they need to call it in. She doesn't, just wants to check it out. When she bangs on the door, gunshots were heard and when the door open the person that came out was the one who got shot and well hell breaks loose for the two officers.
Roman gets a gun to the head as Burgess tries to save the guy, but he dies anyway from the shooter. As things get heated up, Roman takes the bold move and attacks the shooter and they both go in the building with Burgess lockout and makes a run to find another way in just before she hears gunshots.
As Burgess finds a way in, she tries to find something to use a weapon, looks for her partner and sees that both men and more are down. She tends to Roman who has a head injury and soon as she tries to stop the bleeding, the shooter slowly gets up and tries to grab one of the officer's gun. Burgess fights like hell but lost and later, the shooter gets shot by someone that was already shot.
Burgess, stunned, talks to the other shooter and tells him that she wants to help her partner. She goes but things soon turn bad later on. As Burgess talks to the guy, Roman makes another bold move and tries to grab the metal pipe but fails. Then comes the shooter's partners walking in as Burgess tries taking Roman out.
The shooter then needs help as he couldn't breathe, his cousin runs to the store to get some supplies. As that went down, the shooter talks and saying the other guy's name, which he was pissed off because he doesn't want his named heard in front of the cops.
Later, as Burgess helped the shooter, his partner then shoots him and his cousin because of saying his name. Things get suspenseful later as Burgess and Roman try to escape. They go up the stairs and Roman yells at Burgess to go out the window to get help. What we thought she left to get help, didn't turn out like that.
As soon as the shooter walks up the stairs and see Roman on the ground, he's about to take a shot when Burgess jumps him and fights like hell, Roman tries to move to help, slides down the stairs to grab the gun while the shooter and Roman both had it, Burgess stabs the guy in the neck with a piece of glass.
Now, you would think that after facing like four people that it would be over. As they walk down the stairs, two other people get out of the van and starts shooting. It was like a video game movie, when you think that you got them all and all of the sudden, there's more. That was exciting and thrilling.
As all this was going down, the unit was in some deep teaser training, while Voight and Al have a nice lunch talking about Justin and other things. It was probably one of the most humorist parts in the episode as Adam was trying to hurry up the lesson, because he was trying to get a hold of Burgess. Then Halstead's turn was when Erin takes it and I think we kind of know where she put that stun gun at.
Everyone else that we know got teased. Later, Adam starts worrying about Burgess. Not returning her calls and such. He talks to Platt about it and later on he tells Voight about checking up on her and Roman since they haven't returned or responded. They all go and just in time, they take out the other two guys.
Apparently Burgess and Roman took down one of the biggest drug bust in Chicago. Everyone was very proud of how she handled everything. Well, maybe not Burgess as she was in the locker room and Adam comes in and soon she just lets everything go and cries it out.
As I said before this is one of the best episodes that centered one character. Burgess has been through a lot within the last couple of months, and with this episode I think it just makes her more stronger and probably something might come off on this later on. Who knows? But maybe for Burgess, that change can be good sometimes in life.
You can catch Chicago PD Wednesday nights at 10/9c on NBC.
