‘Chicago PD’ Season 8 Episode 12 Recap
Whether you are a fan or not, the previous episode of ‘Chicago PD’ was undoubtedly one of the most well-written episodes in the show’s recent history. The episode began with Deputy Superintendent Samantha Miller (Nicole Ari Parker) holding a press conference. She tells the media that change is not easy, but they are dedicated to transparency. Meanwhile, a reporter asks her about the several violent offenders that have been exonerated. To which, she replies that justice will prevail.
Hank Voight (Jason Beghe) leaves the press conference and is in his car. He responds to a call about a man getting shot and reaches the scene. The victim says their driver shot him and abducted his wife Jessica Larson while driving a black fusion. The team manages to find the vehicle and Kevin Atwater (LaRoyce Hawkins) says the driver’s name is Jonathan Eakin and he has a record for drug possession.
They eventually go to a location where the suspect has been tracked. There is a building on the site where Voight and Lisa Martinez enter together. Martinez decides to shoot the suspect, but misses.
