The Chicago P.D. series has long been known for its ability to deliver dangerous and deadly twists in its finales. In the 2024 TV schedule's last episode, such a twist occurred with Gloria's death. Torres, who had always been on a bit of a rollercoaster with Gloria around, was left devastated by her passing. Benjamin Levy Aguilar's performance truly shone in this emotional moment.

Deputy Chief Reid's Confrontation with Voight

While the bloody twist for Gloria may have been a shock, the moment that lingers in the mind is Deputy Chief Reid confronting Voight. This encounter set the stage for a new dynamic within the Intelligence Unit. One can't help but wonder what lies ahead as Shawn Hatosy's character takes on a worthy opponent in the 2025 TV schedule.

Torres' Fall and the Unit's Reaction

The case closed with Torres falling apart, and the rest of the unit not exactly celebrating. Yet, on paper, the results were impressive with a significant amount of drugs and money seized and bad guys taken off the board. This shows the complexity of the situations they often face.

Reid's Proposal and Voight's Response

Reid's offer to be friends with Voight was a surprising turn of events. It's clear that Reid's idea of friendship is far from the usual. We've already seen him exert his influence earlier in Season 12 when he forced Burgess to do his bidding. This raises questions about how Voight will handle this new challenge and what it means for the team.

The Winter Premiere and What Lies Ahead

The promo for the winter premiere doesn't give away much, but it looks set to be an intense episode. With Chicago P.D. returning to NBC on Wednesday, January 8 at 10 p.m. ET, following Chicago Fire and its Cruz cliffhanger at 9 p.m. ET and Chicago Med with a tricky situation for Steven Weber's Archer at 8 p.m. ET, fans are eager to see what unfolds. And for those in need of a One Chicago fix during the winter hiatus, a Peacock subscription allows them to revisit every episode so far.
