CHICAGO P.D.’s Ruzek (Patrick John Flueger) needs to call in a CI for help on the Wednesday, February 17 episode, “Instinct.”

“We go way back years,” Flueger previously told reporters. “But [the CI’s] a junkie, so it doesn’t always go as smoothly as one might like.”

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.
