As the intelligence unit tries to take down the top drug lord in Chicago, the Antonio incident case has reopened. Here's a recap!
As Antonio is at a meeting, a call from Voight and Ruzek had them discussing how Kelton has reopened the investigation of the suspect that Antiono pushed off a two-story warehouse building. Voight has a plan and gets them to meet with Atwater for a drug deal.
As Atwater and his CI make a deal with what seems to be a rookie drug seller, just as they make arrangements, the kid gets shot. The team investigates and takes them to the drug lord, Alex Del Toro. Antonio knows Del Toro, who had his partner killed years ago. They tried to arrest him for the murder but couldn't get anything stuck.
It soon becomes a two-case episode as Voight gets the top newspaper reporter, Katherine Bradley, to write a piece about Kelton. But their one source is MIA and Voight, and Ruzek tries to locate him. As Ruzek gets a location on their source, Voight meets with him and gets him to stand up against Kelton.
Soon, Antiono and the team find something that stuck with Del Toro, but just as they got something, he was on the move. They find Del Toro near the shipping yard and chase him through the abandoned warehouse. Antonio gets to him, and just when he is about to shoot, he grabs Del Toro and tries to push him off the edge of the building but doesn't and arrestedarrestsith everything looking good until the news conference that was supposed to be about Kelton dropping out; turns out to be Kathrine Brennen instead. Voight meets with Brennen to discuss this situation, and she tells him that she took the fall because he has dirt on her, and he has dirt on him, too. It seems like a war is coming to the intelligence unit.
"Confession" didn't match the episode a year ago when Al got stabbed. Still, it closely matches it as it was an episode focusing on Antiono from the week's case, facing an old enemy and even confronting his demons of pushing a suspect off the building. Jon Seda gives his best performance since the fall finale. And when things were looking suitable for Antiono, we can see how Seda will be leaving the series. The writing seemed to have been on the wall since the fall finale. Excellent writing, strong character development, and overall, I give this episode a 9/10.
You can catch the season finale of Chicago PD on Wednesday, May 22, at 10/9c on NBC.
