How ‘Chicago P.D.’ Simply Set Up Lengthy-Awaited Detective Promotion


[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Chicago P.D. Season 12 Episode 5 “Water and Honey.”]

Welcome to Intelligence, Officer Kiana Cook dinner (Toya Turner)!

Within the newest Chicago P.D. episode, Cook dinner is the one to carry the case—a homicide that results in the invention of allegations of abuse—to Intelligence and leads the cost within the investigation. She impresses sufficient that Torres (Benjamin Levy Aguilar) suggests she be a part of the unit.

Beneath, showrunner Gwen Sigan talks about Cook dinner coming in, her previous, the upcoming promotion, and extra.

Is Cook dinner full time with intelligence going ahead?

Gwen Sigan: She is. She is our latest group member.

Does that play into why somebody’s promoted?

Yeah, I believe there’s loads of issues that play into it, proper? The truth that we had Upton [Tracy Spiridakos] go away—she was the final higher-ranking officer within the unit, and so there’s form of this vacuum of needing that factor—after which how the detective check often works in the true world is it comes up each couple years. We’re enjoying that it’s come up and likewise now we have this vacuum. It’s wanted that there’s anyone at that stage and certainly one of our officers will take the possibility, give it a shot.

What else are you able to say about that promotion? Something about who it’s or how the group offers with it as a unit?

Yeah, I believe the good factor is that the group is all very supportive. After this a few years of working collectively, I believe all of them wish to help one another and likewise see it as anyone getting that stage and doing properly actually simply helps the entire group. And so in a pleasant method, everybody’s very supportive and it definitely modifications some dynamics, however there’s no jealousy, there’s no bitterness, there’s no envy. It’s actually, let’s all help and that is one of the best for the entire unit to have anyone backing them up.

I believe that’s since you’ve accomplished such a fantastic job of constructing the totally different relationships between Burgess [Marina Squerciati], Ruzek [Patrick John Flueger], and Atwater [LaRoyce Hawkins].

Yeah, there’s a lot love and loyalty between the three of them that even when there may be battle, they’re capable of often kind it out.

You’ve established this battle between Cook dinner and Montgomery, and he or she says that he demoted her after she known as him out for operating his tactical group poorly. However is there extra to what occurred between them that she’s not saying simply but?

I believe what she’s not saying is the entire particulars of what that appears like and the specifics of it, and there’s loads of ache and betrayal in that of what strikes he made to demote her. But in addition on this episode, she references the truth that even her beat cop companion didn’t belief her. And so there’s loads of data being given to the entire police division that possibly isn’t essentially true and the way that may have an effect on your status. After which simply emotionally, I don’t suppose she’s being sincere about how a lot it has affected her. She’s received form of this nice resilience and this sense of self. I believe this surety of self and this confidence, which is very nice, however irrespective of who you might be, if anyone does that at a job that you just actually love, it’s going to have an effect on your self-worth and it’s going to shake you a way. I believe that she hasn’t been fully sincere about that but. And so it’ll be fascinating to see, when you get to know her character extra, how that might have an effect on her and the way that may be a battle to not let it have an effect on her.

Is Montgomery going to be like a recurring thorn in her facet, or is it extra simply concerning the emotional stuff that she’s coping with?

Extra concerning the emotional, after which the form of left behind penalties of that and the way it impacts her function throughout the division as an entire. As a result of definitely in Intelligence, we settle for her for who she is they usually sort of perceive how that occurs. Actually, our detectives have had that occur to them. Our officers have had that. Atwater’s had that occur. And so we wish to take a look at it a little bit bit extra emotionally than simply him because the villain who’s going to repeatedly come again. We’re probably not planning for that component of it.

What’s developing with Trudy (Amy Morton)?

Trudy! Trudy’s received some actually emotional episodes, Episodes 10 and 14, the place she performs a giant function in it, and it’s form of Ruzek and a few household dynamics, and we see how Platt’s capable of help him and the entire Ruzek household in a method. And it additionally says loads of good issues concerning the relationship she has with Voight [Jason Beghe] and her fellow police after having been a police officer for therefore a few years. So I’m excited for that one. After which she’s received another issues cooking that aren’t official but, however I believe might be actually, actually thrilling if we will make ’em all occur.

Are there any crossovers developing?

Not but. They’re at all times within the ether. We’re at all times hoping to do one.

Will Val be again quickly for Atwater? That was enjoyable.

That was enjoyable. We do hope to have her again. I assumed they have been nice collectively. That they had such a fantastic chemistry. He wants some gentle in his life and he deserves that and he deserves to discover a stability in a method that he hasn’t been capable of but. And I believe she, in that episode, was a great illustration of, there are different methods to do that job. There are methods to do it and possibly really feel a little bit more healthy, have a little bit extra time for your self, which is one thing he struggled with and I don’t suppose he’s ever been capable of have. And so we’ll see if she is part of that, continues to be part of that development for him.
