Sidetrack: Chicago PD "Ties That Bind"


When the Intelligence unit gets close to capturing an arms dealer, it leads to two of the members being held captive for money. Will the team save them, or will it be too late? Here's a recap!


As the Intelligence Unit gets close to nailing an arms dealer, they travel to Wisconsin to find them at a gun show. But when Burgess and Upton get a bite from someone looking to sell guns for a higher price, they get kidnapped. Voight and the crew do everything possible to find them and take down these guys.

Upton and Burgess learn that these guys aren't your typical gun sellers, as the reason they're doing this is because they are laid off from work. Burgess makes a call to her brother, who happens to be Ruzek, to deliver the money when the guy's brother gets there. But when his brother gets there, he runs out and gets hit by a car and dies.

As Burgess escapes and tries to get Upton free, she tries to give out smoke signals for the team, but when she comes back for Upton, the guy is there holding her down, and Burgess takes him out, but not enough. As Burgess gets her throat squeezed, Upton grabs the guy with her legs and squeezes him until Ruzek and Antiono come in and take him away.

Later on, Voight tells the team that this can't happen again and that their job is to return home. After Burgess checks on Upton, she soon tells Burgess that she's been dating Ruzek and how it came to be. But when asked if Burgess was excellent, she replied, "It's fantastic. But is it?

"Ties That Bind" was an intense, well-written episode. It is another strong performance episode for Marina Squerciati and Tracy Spiridakos. It was just another episode that sidetracks the team from taking down an illegal arms dealer to a rescue mission, which I found on the edge of my seat good television.  Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

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

This Wednesday's the crossover event between Fire and PD; don't miss it!
