Chicago P.D. Season 12, Episode 2 ‘Blood Bleeds Blue‘ is a significantly better episode than the Chicago P.D. premiere by advantage of the truth that much more fascinating stuff is going on, and the characters we all know are concerned in what’s occurring, however it’s nonetheless a reasonably dry hour, although we actually lose a member of Intelligence throughout it.
After all, we barely knew Emily Martel, so all of the platitudes about how “we are going to really feel it later” really feel like precisely that, platitudes. We gained’t truly really feel something, as a result of we by no means acquired to know her! We all know extra about Toya Turner’s Kiana Kook, who was launched on this episode, than we learn about Victoria Cartagena’s Emily Martel, so our possibilities of feeling it at any level are slim to none.

solely Adam feels it
We perceive who this storyline is about, because it’s clearly not in regards to the useless girl, and even in regards to the girl being launched as a result of there’s a useless girl. It’s about Adam. If anybody had any doubt about it, it must be put to relaxation by the truth that the one individual allowed feelings on this episode is exactly Adam. And I’m not saying it’s not comprehensible that he’s kinda shedding it slightly bit. His associate was actually shot whereas standing subsequent to him. He will get to really feel issues. It’s simply that this complete arc is made for us to really feel for and about Adam, by no means for the character who died.
Now that the present launched this storyline for the advantage of Adam’s manpain, nevertheless, allow us to hope they bear in mind to hold it ahead. This isn’t the sort of factor Adam can or ought to recover from in a few episodes. That is the sort of trauma that sticks to you. And Adam has had its share of that, sure, however there’s one thing about new trauma that typically makes outdated trauma resurface, too. So let this be a chance to let Adam Ruzek not simply really feel, however to have him reckon with what he’s misplaced, out loud.
In actual fact, at this level, I’d recommend completely everybody in Intelligence go to remedy at the least as soon as per week. Necessary. All of them want it, and if for some purpose they don’t but, they absolutely will quickly. Division mandated therapist, please.

Kiana Cook dinner
Absolutely the shiny spot in an episode that was nonetheless kinda meh, all issues thought-about, was Toya Turner’s introduction as Kiana Cook dinner. She was proper the place she wanted to be once we wanted her, she was calm, collected, and good below stress, and but she was not a robotic. You would clearly inform she was nervous, she didn’t seem to be she was an outdated professional — which she wouldn’t be! — and nearly as importantly, she had actually good chemistry with Adam immediately.
Introducing a brand new character on a present like Chicago P.D. is difficult, significantly when the present simply stated goodbye to a personality as beloved as Hailey Upton. There’s at all times the sensation that the brand new feminine character coming in is by some means entering into the footwear of the feminine character who simply left. Nothing may very well be farther from the reality. Kiana Cook dinner is simply…Kiana Cook dinner. Simply as Hailey Upton will at all times be simply Hailey Upton. That’s the one means can give it some thought that honors who Hailey was and who Kiana can in the future change into if this present lets her.
For now, we are saying welcome. Might Chicago P.D. not harm you.
