Heart or Badge?: Chicago PD "Black & Blue"


Will Atwater put his heart before his badge when someone he falls in love with becomes a suspect in a murder investigation?  Here's a recap of this week's episode of Chicago PD.

"Black & Blue" was another marvelous episode that puts Atwater in a challenging situation that, if it went any other way, I would be okay with it. Trying to go a drug bust that turned into one of the kids selling the drugs ended up dead. When the intelligence gets a lead on their suspect, it also leads to a relationship that Atwater gets into.

Using her to get to their suspect, they found fingerprints of Atwater's friend that were connected to the murder. In troubled waters, Atwater decides to work a badge instead of his heart. But when the suspect that they are after is dead, the kid that he was chasing shoots him. Atwater's friend will take on the murder charges and possibly get out in three years. Atwater decides to help the kid who killed his boss and tossed the gun he used in the Chicago River.

It was another well-performed, intense character development episode, and it was one of the best Atwater episodes so far this season. I wouldn't be surprised if she's back three years from now and confronts Atwater. Overall, I give this episode an 8.7/ 10.

You can catch the fall finale of Chicago PD on Wednesday, December 5th, at 10/9c on NBC.
