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???

Oh he was talking about Lexi  -- he was telling his wife that he had her almost considering coming home. We should have seen this coming after he called her following the grieving father's murder-for-hire plot. When she came to the station, she led with "I'm not coming home..."

It was a quick throw away line near the beginning. I didn't save the episode and have no urge to rewatch but I noticed at the time that it was good someone remembered he has two daughters.

I haven't watched this season yet as I'm in the UK but can someone confirm to me when Lexi got moved out and got in with a bad crowd? Was it when Al walked out on them to be with his insta daughter.

Do you remember the episode last season where there was one quick scene with Al, Lexi, and Erin at a diner or something, and Lexi says she's taking a year off before going to college to follow her musician boyfriend and his band?  I'd guess that's what she did, because they were living in this warehouse.  It wasn't necessarily a "bad crowd" but more of a group of struggling artists.  Al says in this episode that he nearly had her convinced to come home; she packed up her stuff and he went to pick her up, but she decided she just couldn't leave the boyfriend.

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. 

I didn't think that was necessary. In season 1 or 2 they established that the guy who killed Olinsky's partner was at the bottom of the Chicago river, so I think there's a strong bond there and they already understand each other pretty well and are on the same page. And I wasn't under the impression that Olinsky had trouble understanding how Voight solved the case of Justin's killer.

And technically, all but Lindsay have plausible deniability. Voight can always claim that there was an address mix-up or whatever. The others don't know anything. They just have suspicions.

This has to come back at some point, doesn't it?  Right?  I mean... right?  Voight kills a guy and Lindsay moves the body, and several other people know *something* but aren't sure what they know...  But, it was just dropped so abruptly.  So odd.  I think they have to revisit it eventually for closure.

There was a comment fron Haas? a while ago and it sounded like they have no intention to revisit it. At least not this season. It kind of sounded like they didn't want to "go there" and make up their mind and deal with the fall-out. Personally, I'm good with that ;-)

I'm still not 100 percent sure there's a body out there--

From what I've read, there is. But you never know what they decide when they do decide to revisit it, if they decide to revisit it.

Ah, I guess I forgot that part.  But I still think she had to have been clean for the 15 years since she lived with Hank?  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.  

Yes, Charlie. Thanks.

And yes, she was clean. Usually though, when you're an addict one drink or in that case, taking drugs just once, makes a relapse very likely. That is why you're always an addict. Even when you're clean, you're still an addict, you're just a sober addict. And we're talking about several weeks for Lindsay, so, if the show intends for her to have been an addict then I don't think there is any way that this could not have been a relapse.
