After turning her badge in after going down a dark spiral path that had her turning her badge in following the death of her pal and colleague Nadia, Lindsay has "checked out" in the season three premiere, Executive Producer Matt Olmstead telling TVLine.
"She's at a club, drunk," said Olmstead. While her boss/mentor/father figure, Voight is "heartbroken," he moves on and accepts that Erin isn't coming back to the team. But her ex might have a different point of view.
"Halstead's the one who doesn't really want to believe it's true," said Olmstead. He added that Halstead would go far as to confront Erin and tell her, "'I want to hear if face-to-face: tell me that you're done.' She tells him she's done, and he walks away. Her last champion walks away."
So that kind of leads to no romantic rekindling between Lindsay and Halstead. "His only concern is, 'I'm just trying to get her to live,'" said Olmstead.
Meanwhile for Erin, she's "drowning in 'self-loathing'" and having to deal with her mother Bunny, "Who's more than happy to keep the party going because (she) finally got (her) daughter back. It's very unhealthy."
But Lindsay's issue is put on pause as one of the Intelligence team members gets in a "dire straits when Lindsay volunteers with the case. Returning for work, Lindsay "creates a major triangle between Bunny, Lindsay and Voight, because Bunny now feels very spiteful towards Voight," Olmstead previews. "He did it again. He pried (away her daughter."
But that leads to the question, will Erin remain in the Intelligence Unit? "Offering (Her) service to help out on this case is different than actually getting her job back," said Olmstead. "Gettng her job back is a bigger journey. She has to prove (herself) to a lot of people. She walked away. She handed her badge in."
