Chicago PD season 5 episode 18 spoilers: Upton goes undercover

We now have officially an added reason to be excited about what is coming up on Chicago PD season 5 episode 18 — it is putting Tracy Spiridakos at the center for an episode that explore a little bit of her past. She wasn’t a rookie when she joined Intelligence, having spent some time in the Gang Unit before that. this episode, fittingly entitled “Ghosts,” could focus on that or even an earlier time in her life before that. This is an opportunity to explore a different identity for her as she tries to take down a meth ring once and for all.

For Spiridakos, we imagine that this is very much a thrill getting to play effectively a character within a character. We’ve had many different cast members before telling us that there are few things that they enjoy more than going undercover since it’s a chance to mix things up and do something that is a little bit different than the standard performance as their character.

Below, the Chicago PD season 5 episode 18 synopsis offers up a little bit more in the way of insight as to what is coming:

03/21/2018 (10:00PM – 11:00PM) (Wednesday) : Upton (Tracy Spiridakos) brings back an old undercover identity to help take down a meth ring spearheaded by a former criminal contact. And with pressure from Woods (guest star Mykelti Williamson) mounting, Voight (Jason Beghe) calls in a favor for Olinksy (Elias Koteas).

The Voight – Olinsky part of “Ghosts” could be a callback to what happens on Wednesday night’s new episode, which is going to feature Woods targeting Olinsky after being fixated in the past on Voight and also Ruzek. As for what he could be coming at him for, we doubt that he is the final target — yet, Olinsky is one of Voight’s most-trusted members of Intelligence, and obviously Woods knows that one of the best ways to get to him is, in turn, getting to some of the people who are close to him.
