"Informant" 

When the drug carfentanil has taken the lives of children in the neighborhoods, the Intelligence Unit jumps on the case. Hailey uses her CI to get close to someone who's known to sell the drug, but by the time they are working on it, the guy makes a drug bust and dies from the drug that he is taking. Voight uses Darrius as their informant to stop the seller from selling the drug; while the plan is in play, Hailey's CI is made by Darrius, who later gets killed.

Hailey takes the death of her CI very hard and wants to put Darrius away, but after capturing the drug seller of the carfentanil, Hailey has a talk with Voight about how things get done that aren't pretty.

"Informant" was an excellent Hailey-centric episode that puts her on the spot of knowing what should be right and wrong when it comes to someone killing her CI. It was a powerful one to say because the character of Hailey's CI was entertaining and relaxed—good writing and character development in this episode. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

"No Regrets" 

When a drug bust goes well, Burgess finds a dead woman in the alley. Burgess and the Intelligence investigate Jane Doe to learn that she was part of a messing case that included another woman. Soon, the Intelligence would have their suspect and go into the home where they found the other woman, but her child was taken from the suspect/kidnapper/father of her baby. After spotting the suspect at a local store, hell broke loose, and the suspect got shot and died. 

With no whereabouts of the child, they search for the suspect's mobile home, where Burgess finds and helps give the kid his medicine. Meanwhile, Burgess learns that she's pregnant, and after telling Ruek about it, she decides whether to keep the child; in the end, she's keeping the child.

"No Regrets" was a good episode from start to finish. This episode was excellent for Burgess, and it was a fine, good one. The performance of Marina Squerciati was excellent. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

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