WendyCR72 February 26, 2017 Share February 26, 2017 The second part of the Chicago franchise crossover on March 1st. This will air at 9:00 p.m. instead of 10:00 p.m., with Chicago Justice taking CPD's usual slot: Olinsky's daughter remains in critical condition following a massive fire - leaving Intelligence on edge, but more determined than ever to track down the suspect. Voight opens up the case, knowing that he has Stone and his team's full support in the investigation, and all of Firehouse 51 behind him to examine potential origins of the fire. Intelligence works to connect the dots between the building owner, those who were inside, and a string of potential suspects. Link to comment

FnkyChkn34 March 2, 2017 Share March 2, 2017 So... Voight let Ruzek back in to take Rixton's spot just like that? No explanation, no mention of it whatsoever? It seemed like this episode just fit right in with the whole season and wasn't supposed to be treated as a one-off or anything different, so why no mention of why Ruzek is back and sitting at Antonio's desk? Hmm... oh well... Otherwise, this episode was great. Gratuitous car hood slide and all. I know I'm in the minority, but I like when they take just a minute or two to really show the human and personal sides of the characters, and except for Olinsky, that was lacking. A major tragedy like this would have shaken all of them, and I don't think it would have been too much to let them all have a moment. Erin moving Lexi's photo to the other board was some good acting by Sophia though. And of course Elias Koteas nailed it in all of his scenes. 2 Link to comment

Hmm... oh well... Yeah, I commented late about last week's episode: Quote Not believable at all to me that Ruzek went undercover without Voight's knowledge, let alone blessing, and then just reappears. The Chicagos are just lackadaisical when it comes to people taking off--in Fire this week, the chief's admin went on vacation unbeknownst to the chief. Sure, why not. 1 1 Link to comment

The story might have been resolved on the show but in truth, addiction is never resolved and I cringe a little each time they show Lindsay with alcohol. She didn't just have a drug problem, she also had a drinking problem and I think, once they decided to make her go down that route, they should have gone "all in" and then also have her deal with the drinking afterwards. Anyway, on to the episode - this is like the third person who was close to someone died. Nadia in S2, Justin in S3, now Lexi. I didn't think it was necessary to have Lexi die, the case was bad enough without it getting that personal for everyone. I agree, it was great acting on Koteas' part (and it was yet another depressing story for poor Olinsky). I also think the scene when Lindsay moved the photo was great and I thought that Marina Squerciati did some great acting, too, when she gave the update right after they learned that Olinsky's daughter had passed away. I found the way they handled the arsonist a bit unrealistic. Voight had no problem getting very phsyical with the first suspect they had and yet, the guy who actually did it was threatened with a knife and nothing happened. I'm not suggesting Voight should have injured him but I felt that he pulled the knife too soon and spent too much time not using it for it to be credible that he would. I prefer if he had been his usual self. Who cares if the guy had had a black eye in court? He resisted arrest, too bad. I don't think that anyone in Intelligence would have said otherwise and Voight has certainly never cared before. So, it seems a bit too convenient for Justice that they didn't have to deal with a physically harmed perp who killed the daughter of another officer. I also wish they would have blended the shows more - I liked how the Med characters were incorporated, that is my favorite kind of crossover, when you can't really tell that it's one because it seems natural and organic. I guess, it's hard to keep the fire characters in after the fire, but I think that they could have combined PD and Justice better. I loved the scene with the Chief or Superindendent or whoever he was. The guy who told Voight that they have assembled a task force but he wanted Voight to run the investigation (what exactly was the task force doing? ;-)) It kind of felt rather real - the brass is probably less than pleased with Voight in general because of his methods and cops like him are smearing the PD's reputation. Yet, when the job needs to get done and they need to punish someone as cruel and the city is watching, they put Voight on it, because they know he'll get it done. And if the perp happens to get killed while being arrested, no one would shed a tear. Regarding Ruzek - not only did he come back, he was also interviewing someone with Burgess. I'm not a fan of the couple but I feel that we would have needed an episode in between that would have dealt with Ruzek coming back and Burgess and Ruzek clearing the air between them.

The thing that probably bugged me the most about Ruzek was the scene where they broke down the door and arrested the friend of the first suspect. Not only was he leading the way but he was calling the shots and ordering around other officers. Even though he is probably the least experienced cop on the show. 3 Link to comment

Mars477 March 6, 2017 Share March 6, 2017 This was stupid when it was Justin. If the show really wanted to deliver a punch, they'd kill a regular character. Like Ruzek. Killing off a family member of one of the detectives (again) is just dumb. 1 Link to comment

With all the things that this show (and the whole Chicago franchise) likes to forget about characters I am totally ok with them writing that part of Erin's life as just the mother of all benders rather than an addiction thing. Don't really need to see Sophia Bush going to meetings and drinking water with a lime in it at Mollys since i dont think it would work with the show.

To be fair, she did say that counselling wasn't for her, so it weren't really counselling sessions. I don't know how much of how they dealt with Lindsay was a conscious choice and how much just happened but I don't think it can be seen as a mockery or insult. I can easily see how it can be but I think they're doing it more out of convenience than because they want to make a mockery out of addiction. They went there with Lindsay because it fit the story and I think the way they went there was good, then they didn't want to to follow it through all the way with the recovery, probably because it would have gone far beyond what they were willing to show. If they had followed it through further, it would have taken a lot more time and it would have taken up a lot more time of the show. Sophia Bush also said that the talk between her and the drug lord in the S3 premiere was a lot longer than it was. Would have loved to see it. Anyway, I think in regards to addiction, there are few shows which really do it realistically and do it realistically all the way through. I wish they would, but I'm not getting upset that they're not. 14 minutes ago, FnkyChkn34 said: That's actually exactly how I saw it. I know she has a past, but I don't see her as an addict.

Once an addict, always an addict. I'm also pretty sure they were hinting that she had withdrawal symptoms when she was mentioning the marathon headaches to Voight in episode 2 of S3. Unfortunately, many children of addicts become addicts themselves (or they become the opposite), even if they're well aware of the consequences. But due to the way they had to grow up, they can't have a healthy and responsible "relationship" with alcohol/drugs. Link to comment

If she was just doing benders, there'd be no need to babysit as she is an adult. Not to mention her job being put on the line. Addiction is another animal entirely.

Or at least the majority of those. And the stories she told Jay about her high school seemed to reveal that she had cleaned up her act to stay in that private school. Maybe Charlie (I think that was his name?) got her hooked after high school though. Hmm... a lot of inconsistencies in her backstory, quite frankly. I can see how there would be several interpretations, but I see the addict theory now. Quote ...If she was just doing benders, there'd be no need to babysit as she is an adult. Not to mention her job being put on the line... Not necessarily - Voight is concerned about both Erin and her job since it's his department. So I think he would babysit her, whether it be just a bender or an addiction relapse. He can't keep her in her job if she's not sober, and I think that's also why he told Jay to always have her back.

Guildford March 8, 2017 Share March 8, 2017 I don't want to see the whole addiction SL either, mainly because we get far too much of her character anyway. My issue is that barely a week or so later she's back at Molly's drinking. While they didn't have to go down the whole rehab/counselling/another major lindsay drama would it have hurt to have her say....'no thanks, I'm staying away from that for a while.' At least make an effort if you are going to put that much time & energy into a Storyline. Not a big thing to do & would have been far more palatable conclusion to just sweeping it under the carpet, but then again that's what these writers tend to do. 2 Link to comment

Platt's dad was murdered after Justin. Platt was attacked too, but her quick thinking got the guy to run away instead of shooting her. Voight talked her down when she wanted to kill her dad's murderer. I assumed Lexi died (at least in part) to make Al equal to/bond even more with Voight. They're both old school cops who understand each other's thinking, and now they both understand what it feels like to lose a child to violence. Makes me wonder if Voight is going to intervene in something Al does in the future, or if Al will cover for Voight (grief-stricken father empathy) if the 'Justin's killer disappeared' storyline re-emerges due to new evidence.

MakeMeLaugh March 13, 2017 Share March 13, 2017 I'm still not 100 percent sure there's a body out there--early in the show we saw Voight forcing the guy to dig a grave but that was it iirc. Maybe he sent him away--maybe that is Show's out vs arresting him in the end. Plus, Voight is like Robin Hood (my tongue is so firmly into my cheek It could pierce it)--he only tortures the bad guys (and never accidentally tortures an innocent guy), except for relentlessly harrassing Casey on Fire, pre-PD. I think Show realized what a compelling character Voight could be in the hands of Jason Beghe and just ran with him. But yes, there really isn't any pressure from above on him to change his ways.

Maybe he sent him away--maybe that is Show's out vs arresting him in the end. ... I thought of that, too. I think it's near the end of the season 3 finale that we see the alleged killer digging in the rain, Erin comes up and tells Voight not to do it, and then I think the camera focuses on Erin driving away rather than Voight and the guy. It's definitely a heavy implication that Voight shoots him and Erin moves the body, but maybe we don't know that for sure. Maybe at the end of episode 4x01 all Hank is thanking her for is her silence and support? I agree that the writers can come up with something to "fix" this and let Voight out if needed...

She's not forgotten, she just has no purpose in every episode, so why keep ringing her up? Are you sure? When? I don't remember that. Link to comment

Me either....I thought he was talking about Lexi, that she was staying with her boyfriend at the warehouse & he almost got her to come home? I thought maybe I'd missed something??? Link to comment
