Parenthood: Chicago PD "Unforgiven"/"In Your Care"

 


"Unforgiven"

When the Intelligence Unit gets a case of a murdered Chicago police officer, the team tries to figure out whether he was killed as a dirty cop or a cop doing a good item. Upton and Halstead learn one of the suspects held a grudge against the cop, which later indicates that the cop was helping a domestic abuse victim and that the victim's ex-boyfriend was the suspect. 

Meanwhile, Voight tries to get the Dupety Superintendent on board with the investigation while also trying his best to get the cop's family his pension. And while Upton and Halstead's relationship grows, she gets news of her father's health and tries to visit him at Med.

I enjoyed this episode; it's probably one of my rewatchable favorites with the extreme case of the week and whether or not this cop was good or bad. I admit I ate whatever from the Upton and Halstead scenes while enjoying Upton's battle to see her father. I think at the end (spoiler alert: she did see him), she'll regret not seeing him. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.


"In Your Care"

When the Intelligence Unit gets a case of a rash of carjackings and learns that the offenders happen to be teenagers who are part of a teen prostitution ring that is about to be aged out from the fostering system. While only capturing one of the teenagers, the rest would flee to where they were planning to go, Georiga. 

Meanwhile, whether or not they are back in a relationship, Burgess and Ruzek seem to be in a good place. That is until during this case when Burgess reunites with Mykala at the foster building and learns that her foster mom is having difficulty taking care of her. Soon, the foster mom gives back Mykala, and Burgress jumps to taking care of her, which puts her relationship with Ruzek on hold (I assume as he had a different opinion on the idea). 

"In Your Care" was an excellent episode, and while I thought the case of the week was good, it had its moments. This episode was one of Burgess's best, with her deciding whether or not to take Mykala in her care while taking on this case. 

Marian Squerciati gives another good performance, along with Patrick Flueger and even LaRoyce Hawkins. Their character gave Burgess some excellent and heartwarming advice on whether or not to take care of Mykala. 

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.
