Other than the pesky reminder of the lack of racial diversity in the unit, it still didn't make any sense why they didn't use Atwater. Apparently, Enzo was suspicious of all white people because he thought they were cops. Part of Enzo's paranoid, crazy shtick was used to justify reintroducing Torres, and that was relatively weak. Every move he made was stressful because someone that far gone in the head can be unpredictable. The Enzo angle was tough the man was off his rocker. Voight had that in with Davey, who was easy fodder for Voight to use. Maybe it didn't fit the criteria of their usual cases because of the small number of drugs that Enzo was dealing, but it would've been a hard case to pass up. Luca mistaking heroin for sugar and dying such a dreadful death was heartbreaking, and his parents were too strung out to be of any use. If it were two months, then maybe Hailey's extreme feelings on the issue, Trudy's concern about Voight's fixation and dodging the new chief, or even the team's frustration that Voight kept switching up their cases would feel more grounded. However, Voight's feelings and position were more sympathetic once we learned that it had only been two weeks since Anna's death. Understandably, people were concerned about Voight. In his mind, it was the least he could do to honor her, especially when Anna would otherwise be a footnote in a file while the unit got all the glory and recognition for their historical bust. After everything that transpired, Voight couldn't let Anna's death be in vain, so his fixation on Los Temidos' territory made sense. His drinking habits were concerning, but his dogged patrol of Escano's neighborhood to keep the area drug-free was relentless and unsustainable.

It felt like she and Halstead switched places.Īnd he knows that he's at the center of her death, which only adds to the guilt and pain eating away at him. Everything about Halstead inevitably goes back to or revolves around those relationships, so however he leaves feels as if it'll connect to them too.īut the hour set up some things in that regard, namely, Hailey further stepping into Halstead's place regarding who she is and what she represents for Voight and the unit. But who knows?Īt the root of it all is Halstead's dynamics with Voight and with Hailey. And it's a tough one because everything feels potentially out of left field. We have all this space to speculate about what could happen between now and presumably the midseason finale that sets up Halstead's abrupt exit. It felt like a weird distance between the two when they asked each other if they were good - it gave off the notion that maybe they weren't and something had changed between them. But one moment between the married couple also sparks the possibility of a beginning to an end.
