‘Chicago PD’ season 4, episode 11 preview: Halstead runs a check on Lindsay’s ‘father’
Tonight, “Chicago PD” aired its second episode in two days, and introduced a variety of different stories. You had the arrival of Nick Wechsler in the role of Kenny Rixton, but with that you’ve got Ruzek taking off for an undercover mission, one that he may be taking just because he’s having a hard time with Burgess still being around and in the house.
So where are we going moving into the next episode? We can tell you for now that the title of this particular installment is “You Wish,” and one of the things that you can expect to see in it is Halstead taking action when it comes to Lindsay’s father. He wants to protect her, and as a result of that, making sure that he is actually her father is a big part of that. At the same time, let’s just say that there is also a larger case that is going to command a lot of attention.
Synopsis – “When a mutilated sex offender is found dead, it is unclear if he was the victim of a hate crime, sexual assault or self-mutilation. As Intelligence questions those related to the case, they find themselves up against a private “special police” force who may be covering up illegal activities. Meanwhile, Halstead (Jesse Lee Soffer) runs Jimmy’s (guest star Tony Crane) DNA to confirm that he is actually Lindsay’s (Sophia Bush) father.”
The private-police story is mostly compelling because this is an era where people really do need to trust the police, especially in a place like Chicago where there is so much violence and death. This is something that you can see a little bit more about in the promo below.
Do you think that Jimmy is really Lindsay’s father, and where do you want to see this and some other stories go? Share in the comments, and be sure to head over to the link here for some other news related to the show. (Photo: NBC.)

Dear writers / showrunners. Please, please, PLEASE don’t go the “Voight is her real father” route. That would be ALL sorts of wrong.
1. It would mean Voight hooked up with Bunny (who, as he told Erin, everybody knew back then and that wasn’t a compliment…) while married to Camille, the love of his life
2. It would mean Erin finding out her whole life was a lie, creating more angst for her
3. It would keep the focus on yet more Erin backstory / history when we’ve already had plenty of that both in past seasons and in current episodes.
Here’s a fresh and unique idea: Why don’t we clear some bandwidth for other characters’ backstories? I’d love to see Jay’s dad surface, find out what went wrong between them and why they are estranged. What happened to Jay when he came back from deployment? All we know is that he went through stuff he doesn’t want to talk about. There are plenty of things they have dropped hints about and never followed up on. So much potential but they keep going back to Erin angst. I know she’s the female lead and I love her character but I think they really need to explore some other characters.
