Talk about stealing the moment at the right time.
"Tender Age" was an intense and dramatic episode that pretty much succeeded my expectations from the previews. I couldn't get enough of it, which I thought had seemed to be another great Burgess episode until that final scene.
Burgess and the intelligence unit pick up a homicide case that leaves a little girl the only witness who might have seen what had happened. As the case unfolds, they linked the connection to the little girl's father, who only wanted to be with his daughter. Burgess bonds and protects the child, probably giving her second thoughts about having children.
But let's talk about the big elephant in the room from this episode; just when I thought that Burgess won this episode, a curveball came when Upton and Halstead finally talked about her contract with the FBI. Upton asked Halstead where or not she should go, and of course, he only wanted what was best for her. That ended with Upton telling her feelings for Halstead,, and the two kissing. It looks like she's not going to the New York FBI taskforce (sorry, CBS!).
I loved this episode so much. Burgess was a force of nature doing anything to protect that child and to take down the suspect. It also gave us some perfect Burzek moments, mainly the boat discussion, which I found hilarious. Just when I thought that this was another Burgess-winning episode, which serves right to be. I didn't see the Upton and Halstead relationship take effect just like that at the end.
I released a poll on my Twitter page a couple of days after the episode aired to ask who had the best first kiss during this season of #OneChicago: Brettsey or Upstead. The results came in, with 56.7 percent choosing Upstead and 43.3 percent picking Brettsey.
Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.
