‘Chicago P.D.’: What Do You Think of How That Upstead Moment Happened? (POLL)
Spoiler Alert
[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Chicago P.D. Season 9, Episode 9 “No Way Out.”]
Jay Halstead (Jesse Lee Soffer) has a major decision to make in the Chicago P.D. winter finale, one that can change everything for him and his partner and fiancée Hailey Upton (Tracy Spiridakos).
Now that FBI Special Agent North (Alex Morf) has put the pieces together about what happened to Roy, the human trafficker Hailey shot to save Sergeant Hank Voight (Jason Beghe) as he was questioning him about the whereabouts of Kim Burgess (Marina Squerciati), Jay has a decision to make. Either North arrests Jay and Hailey, or Jay helps the FBI agent take down Voight.
With the clock ticking, Jay keeps this from Hailey but does clue in Voight, who wants to handle it himself. Jay refuses to let him and ends up following Voight’s lead to get dirt on North to blackmail him into dropping the matter: The agent’s been helping his brother with drug charges. That’s obstruction of justice and official misconduct.
When Jay clues Hailey in on what’s going on, she decides to turn herself in, but he refuses to see her go to jail. After all, Roy of all people doesn’t deserve justice, he argues. “It’s you and me or it’s Voight or it’s this, and I don’t want any of it, but here we are, and none of it feels right to me at all,” Jay says.
When it’s time for him to meet North, Voight tells him to do the easier option and give him up. He knows that the detective will regret using the information they got. This way, his conscience will be clean. Voight knows how he polices, and he knew that some case would get him in the end. He’ll be fine. But Jay knows that Voight is good for the city and uses what they’ve uncovered about North’s brother. The agent agrees to drop it, but does admit he’d chosen Jay because he didn’t think Voight could corrupt him. “Everyone changes everyone,” Jay says.
Jay then stops by Voight’s and tells him things will be different going forward: “You always say tell me the truth so I can lie for you, from here on out, you tell me the truth. You bring me in so we don’t have to lie anymore. So I can protect you from yourself. You understand me?”
When he gets home, Jay proposes to Hailey (“marry me now”), and they get married! So what’d you think of how that big Upstead moment went down? Let us know in the poll below.

Great! Loved this episode! I Loved how Voight admitted he knew some case some day would be HIS end, but gave Jay the opportunity to keep his ethical persona. Now Jay has taken the route of “protecting” Voight” from himself. Strong and emotional episode!

It should've been Burgess and Ruzek. They've been off and on for the whole series and he loves her but his back in the day hesitations killed her trust big time. I get it. However with the other 2 marrying first it takes away from the excitement of them getting together, and the previews for the next episode looks like they're going the opposite direction. Even if that's a farse and they get together it almost seems too cookie cutter unless the series comes to an end. There's no way in real life, a police team would have 2 sets of married couples.

I'm not happy about Jay and Hailey. He compromises his integrity to back her up and protect her. Now he is going to do the same for Voight but at what cost. Voight and Hailey could have turned themselves in regardless of what Jay wanted to do. They gave him option but hoped he went in the direction that would better benefit them in the long wrong. I hope they don't Jay's character!

None of them is without blemish. The question really is who is more tainted. Voight is going to push back at some point.

Why writers always mess up good storyline? Jay and Hailey married? Unbelievable! Why?
-
B
I have a feeling that Voight and Jay are going to bump heads because Jay is starting to try and take things into his own hands.

Terrible script. Med, Fire and PD so disappointing on Wed evening. The last scenes of each show left me feeling like I had Covid.
