The Love and Twist: Chicago PD "Climbing into Bed/You Never Know Who's Who"


It's the event of the fall; Chicago PD pulls a two-hour event that's always, ever worth watching. Ruzek faces trouble from an undercover job that goes wrong and a case that's so strange that it leaves with a twist.

In the first hour, Ruzek is undercover with his CI, meeting a man looking to help with a robbery. Ruzek doesn't have a backup but calls Dawson and tells him the situation. The situation turns left when the guy drives his truck and drives to a dinner.

There, it becomes a blood bath; Ruzek tries to stop him but escapes.

This leads Ruzek to one of the worst moments in his career when the Deputy questions his doings and why he didn't have a backup.


That leads Voight and the team to not only track the guy down but also Ruzek's CI as well. When they got to the CI's girlfriend, they scooped him and had him help get the guy. But it turned out soon that Ruzek's CI was found dead.

They looked up the suspect's bio, found his parole officer, and located where he worked. With a tip that he took a worker's truck, they discovered it at a motel. Halstead, Dawson, and Erin find the suspect in the laundry room beating up the victim's son, who had something to do with the robbery at his parent's diner.

The case closed when the suspect told Ruzek he thought the guys he was working with would cut him off.

At the end of this episode, the fate of Ruzek's career hangs out to be suspended from duty, but they can still help out the Intelligence from the house. That didn't sit well with Ruzek at all.

Burgess tries to help Roman get to his appointment for the boner morrow, but it is canceled. So, with Roman taking some time off, Burgess gets to work with a new partner for a while, and they get a call from a creep watching two kids at the park. It turns out that the guy is dead and in a very protective car.

This brings Voight and the team to take the case and locate the victim's place.

They check the place out, and in one of the most crappy intense scenes, they find a located safe where it leads to a safe room and then goes into another safe where that leads to a giant room full of guns.

With Ruzek off duty, he helps Mouse check the guns and Burgess. The teams search for answers, and as they do, they get word that the body was stolen from Chicago Med.    

Voight, Dawson, and Halstead locate where a suspect was found dismantling the body. But was stopped and taken down from Halstead. Then, questioning the suspect, he was told that he works for the CIA and that the victim had given him orders to do so if something happened.

Al took Voight to one of his insights and was told that the victim had not been in any form in the CIA for more than a week. So the victim was playing a fake James Bond and had guys doing a lot of illegal stuff. That's when Lindsay brought in Dr. Charles from Chicago Med to give his input on the suspect and to talk with the victim's man.


With help from the victim's guy, Al pretends to be the guy they're meeting. They go to their meeting spot, and things get fishy when the guy asks Al about the project he and the victim worked on. Al gets shot and broken ribs, but he's okay. But with the guy on the run, Dawson had to do what he had to, and that wasn't him down.

Soon, Voight and the team get word on another guy; this one had them chase him, but Voight, with the plan, has Atwater bring a city truck to take down the guy and his supercar. The guy is arrested and tells Voight that he'll get out and have his badge. Silly dude, he's been played.

Later, Ruzek's suspension was revoked, and he is back to work thanks to Platt. Platt is such a mother to the team as Voight is like a father. Roman took the kid to the station to hang out and got to do some cool things, but sadly, his health took a turn for the worst. Al received the paternity test but threw it away because he didn't need a piece of paper to say if she was his.


And the moment that we've been waiting for Halstead and Lindsay are a couple!!! First, helping her find a couch, then testing the couch, and finally having a drink and leaving early. Linstead is back in business.

I very much enjoyed this series. It's one of the best two hours of television I've watched this season.

I'm happy to see something happen to another character besides Lindsay and Halstead.  I can't wait to see how this affects Ruzek, along with his relationship with Burgess, because something will happen; I just have a feeling.

Overall, I give this Climbing into Bed 8.5/10, and You Never Know Who's Who 9/10.

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