The wait is almost over for fans of Chicago P.D., as the second episode of its highly anticipated thirteenth season is set to air this Wednesday, October 8, 2025. Titled “Open Wounds,” the episode continues to explore the emotional and moral complexities that define the Intelligence Unit, with tensions running higher than ever.
Airing at 10/9c on NBC, Chicago P.D. maintains its long-standing Wednesday night slot, serving as the thrilling conclusion to the One Chicago lineup that includes Chicago Med and Chicago Fire. For those who prefer streaming, the episode will be available the next day on Peacock, allowing viewers to catch up with Detective Voight’s team on their own time.
“Open Wounds” dives deep into Detective Dante Torres’s past when someone from his old neighborhood is brutally abducted. What starts as a typical case soon becomes personal, forcing Torres and the rest of the Intelligence team to navigate a dangerous web of loyalty, guilt, and justice. The episode teases a heart-pounding chase against time — and a reminder that in Chicago’s streets, the past never stays buried for long.
Sources close to the production hint that “Open Wounds” will focus heavily on Torres’s internal struggle, as he confronts the people and choices he left behind. The storyline promises not only intense police action but also a profound exploration of how trauma and identity shape those who wear the badge.
Meanwhile, Sergeant Hank Voight continues to grapple with leadership challenges within his team. With lingering aftershocks from last week’s premiere, Episode 2 is expected to reveal new cracks in the unit’s foundation, testing their unity and trust under pressure. Fans can also expect standout moments from Kim Burgess (Marina Squerciati) and Adam Ruzek (Patrick John Flueger), whose complex partnership remains a central emotional anchor for the series.
The thirteenth season of Chicago P.D. has already been praised for its cinematic tone and renewed focus on character-driven storytelling. Following the critical success of Season 12’s finale, the show’s creative team seems determined to balance high-octane procedural drama with deeply human themes.
For longtime fans, “Open Wounds” will likely feel like classic Chicago P.D. — gritty, emotional, and unflinching in its portrayal of law enforcement. But for newcomers, this episode may also serve as a compelling entry point into one of television’s most consistently engaging crime dramas.
