CHICAGO P.D.’s Marina Squerciati and Patrick John Flueger Preview the ‘Ambitious,’ ‘Firing on All Cylinders’ Episode 200

CHICAGO P.D. celebrates its milestone 200th episode on Wednesday, February 22 with the wildly ambitious, and character-driven, “Trapped.”

“We want to do something that gives credit to the fact that we’ve done this show for 10 years, and also to how many really talented people work on this show,” CHICAGO P.D. boss Gwen Sigan previously told Give Me My Remoter. “We’re going to do a production feat…it will be a bit of an action movie, but also a very emotional Burgess storyline.”

“I’m excited for it,” she continued. “It’s going to be a fun, very challenging one, but I think we can do it…it’s really about Intelligence as it is now and how far these characters have come in the past 10 years.”

When the hour kicks off Burgess (Marina Squerciati) is forced to contend with her lingering PTSD, which has been flaring up in recent months.

CHICAGO P.D.’s Patrick John Flueger on the ‘Complicated’ Burzek Dynamic

When CHICAGO P.D.’s Burgess (Marina Squerciati) decided to move forward with her pregnancy, executive producer Rick Eid previewed the series would be leaning “into the Burgess pregnancy and what’s it like to be a female cop and be pregnant…When you’re somebody who’s used to being in the street and on active duty, and then you’re no longer allowed to be an active duty, how do you rationalize that in your head?”

The Wednesday, February 5 hour, “I Was Here,” was an installment he pointed to in particular as one that deals with that balance, as Burgess’ desk duty puts her in the path of a suspicious 9-1-1 call.
