As this is only the first part of a two or even more episode investigation we yet dont know everything, but compared to last week this weeks episode is at least something that deserves the name Chicago PD.

The focus is on an undercover OP that is led by Ruzek and the whole time we dont know what actually is going on.

On the flipside the unit seems out of touch yet another time only focusing on one particular member hasnmt done most of em any favors. The Upton episode was good the Voight episode was epic but ruzek and burgess underdelivered by a longshot compared to voight.

So where does this leave the series and moving on?? I think they might run out of content even thgough it is hard to imagine. Their focus on the characters has taken them in a direction that is hard to come back from.

I hope im wrong but i think we are witnessing the way to the end of the series.

Interrupted whilst watching Makayla at the ice rink, Ruzek goes to a scrime scene at the behest of an old uniform colleague and finds a family dead by apparent murder suicide...until he takes a closer look and realises they met their end due to someone cooking meth next door. CCTV footage shows Samantha Beck, from a few episodes back, in the vicinity. And, so, here we go!

I guess with Sean O'Neill out of the picture, it was time to return to the sketchy Beck clan, and the writers deliver a good episode that is clearly setting up an arc that may well last through the end of the season.

Ruzek goes undercover after a very clever ruse, and ingratiates himself with Samantha and her young son, whilst also striking up a rapport with her father, Richard, the head honcho of the operation. Who, aside from being a drug dealer, is preparing for "the end". Fun.

This storyline has real promise.
