Chicago P.D. Season 11 Finale: Marina Squerciati Discusses Its 'SVU'-Like Twist and the 'Code of Silence' ⚖️

The third episode of Chicago P.D. Season 11 in the 2024 TV schedule ended on a very happy twist, with Ruzek proposing to Burgess in what Marina Squerciati described as a "perfect" moment. Most of the episode wasn't quite so straightfoward, however, as what seemed to a hate crime turned out to be a cop committing murder to try and cover up a sexual assault on a migrant woman. It was the kind of case that usually belongs to Olivia Benson over on Law & Order: SVU. The dirty cop had a simple request of Burgess when she arrived to arrest him, and the actress spoke with CinemaBlend about the choice her character made.<br /><br />Officer Danny Alvarez joined the Intelligence Unit for the case of the week, seemingly because he was dedicated to tracking down the shooter who committed a hate crime right outside his precinct. Burgess connected the dots to realize that not only did Alvarez arrange for the shooting to kill the woman he'd raped (and who was pregnant), but he shot and killed somebody else who could have exposed him.
