For years, Chicago P.D. fans have been on an emotional rollercoaster when it comes to Kim Burgess (Marina Squerciati) and Adam Ruzek (Patrick John Flueger). The duo, affectionately known as “Burzek” by devoted viewers, has had one of the most complex and heart-wrenching relationships on the show. Just when it seemed like things were finally falling into place, Burgess came to a heartwarming realization about Ruzek—but that doesn’t necessarily mean their highly anticipated wedding will go off without a hitch.
Burgess’ Realization: A Moment of Clarity
Kim Burgess has never had an easy time when it comes to love. Between her near-fatal attack, the adoption of Makayla, and the never-ending dangers of working in the Intelligence Unit, she’s struggled to open herself up emotionally. Despite their history of failed engagements, breakups, and moments of doubt, Ruzek has remained a constant in her life. Through it all, he has been her unwavering support system, stepping up for both Burgess and Makayla in ways that go beyond what is expected. It seems that Burgess finally understands just how much Ruzek means to her—not just as a partner in parenting, but as a life partner. This newfound clarity has given fans hope that the couple is ready to take the next step, but given Chicago P.D.’s track record, nothing is ever that simple.
The Burzek Wedding: Will It Happen As Planned?
While the idea of a Burzek wedding is undoubtedly exciting, longtime fans know that Chicago P.D. loves to throw unexpected curveballs. The Intelligence Unit is always in the middle of high-stakes cases, and that alone could put their nuptials at risk. But beyond the external dangers, there are also emotional barriers that could stand in their way. Burgess, for all her growth, still has moments of hesitation when it comes to fully trusting in happiness. She has been through too much loss to believe that love can be easy. Ruzek, on the other hand, has proven time and again that he is all in—but will he be able to convince Burgess that they truly belong together?
Potential Roadblocks: What Could Go Wrong?
Even if Burgess is ready to commit, several factors could throw their wedding plans into chaos:
-
A Dangerous Case Interrupts – The Intelligence Unit is never far from trouble. A last-minute case, a shocking betrayal, or even an unexpected injury could derail their wedding before it even begins.
-
Burgess’ Cold Feet – While she’s come a long way, Burgess has a habit of pulling away when things get too serious. Will she allow herself to fully embrace this new chapter with Ruzek, or will she let fear get in the way?
-
Makayla’s Well-Being – As devoted parents, both Burgess and Ruzek prioritize Makayla above all else. If anything threatens her safety or happiness, it could cause them to postpone their wedding indefinitely.
-
An Unexpected Character Return – Chicago P.D. loves to bring back characters at the most inconvenient times. Could someone from Burgess or Ruzek’s past reappear, throwing everything into question?
Why Burzek Deserves Their Happy Ending
After years of heartbreak, miscommunication, and near-tragedies, Burgess and Ruzek deserve to have their moment. Their relationship is built on a foundation of friendship, trust, and shared experiences that most couples never have to endure. Ruzek has been Burgess’ rock, standing by her through her darkest times without ever pressuring her for more than she was ready to give. Meanwhile, Burgess has come to realize that Ruzek isn’t just a dependable partner—he’s the love of her life. If any couple on Chicago P.D. deserves happiness, it’s them.
Final Thoughts: Will Burzek Finally Say ‘I Do’?
As much as fans want to believe that Burgess and Ruzek will finally get their fairy-tale ending, nothing is guaranteed in the world of Chicago P.D. While Burgess’ realization about Ruzek is a huge step forward, the road to marriage is rarely smooth—especially in a show as unpredictable as this one. Whether their wedding day goes off without a hitch or gets derailed by a last-minute crisis, one thing is clear: Burzek’s love story is far from over. And for Chicago P.D. fans, that means staying tuned for what promises to be an emotional, thrilling, and possibly heartbreaking ride.
