'Chicago PD' Season 7 Episode 13: Kim Burgess loses her baby and fans are disappointed with the plotline
'Chicago PD' fans are not happy after this week's episode and for good reason. After being assigned to desk duty following her pregnancy, Kim Burgess gets assigned to take 911 calls. However, one of the calls leads her to investigate a sex-trafficking ring and Burgess gets too involved.
To save the girl, Burgess decides to risk going in to confront the culprit as she knows backup wouldn't arrive at the scene on time. Her actions lead her to a violent and brutal confrontation with the culprit — a confrontation that ends with her losing her unborn child.
Fans are devastated and upset with the events. One fan tweeted, "I’m rocking back and forth. The baby. The baby. Ruzek will be crushed. Burgess will be crushed. The baby. The baby. THE BABY. #ChicagoPD."
Another fan wrote, "if baby burzek is gone, no plz I can’t imagine how adam and Kim will be feeling and what if they grow to resent each other and how will they get over this loss?"
However, many viewers are also wondering why the writers chose to introduce a pregnancy storyline if it was going to end this way. One viewer asked, "Why make her pregnant to just lose the baby?"
Another wrote, "Kinda pissed about that storytelling choice." A viewer tweeted, "I don't wanna sound insensitive, but what was the point of making Kim pregnant if she was just gonna lose it?"
One viewer wrote, "I figured #ChicagoPD wouldn't allow a cop to actually carry out a pregnancy, so I'm not surprised at all at tonight's episode. So predictable and disappointing."
Some viewers were also disappointed with the lack of trigger warning for the brutal confrontation scene involving Burgess and the culprit. One viewer tweeted, "Yo. This shit needs a f**king trigger warning. #ChicagoPD."
'Chicago PD' airs on NBC on Wednesday nights.
