Chicago P.D. thrives on heart-pounding cases, but it’s the relationships—like Kim Burgess and Adam Ruzek’s (Burzek)—that keep fans glued to NBC. In Season 7, a seismic twist rocked their world: a hookup after the “Infection” crossover led to Burgess’s pregnancy, revealed in “No Regrets” (7×09).
Marina Squerciati’s raw performance as Burgess, grappling with motherhood amid Chicago’s dangers, paired with Patrick John Flueger’s Ruzek proposing marriage, created a moment fans still rave about on X. This wasn’t just drama; it was a testament to Burzek’s enduring love, forged through years of on-again, off-again passion.
The twist deepened when Burgess, a fierce officer, faced her fears of balancing duty and family. Ruzek, ever loyal, stood by her, his proposal a promise of forever. Yet, Season 7’s intensity—Ruzek’s undercover work, Burgess’s clashes with Voight—tested them. Fans on X, like @SmScreenQuotes, note Burgess’s resilience, comparing her struggles to Antonio’s. The real-life friendship between Squerciati and Flueger, shared in a 2025 interview, mirrors their on-screen chemistry, with Flueger calling Squerciati “family.” Their Thanksgiving stories, posted on Instagram, amplify Burzek’s relatability.
Burzek’s journey reflects Chicago P.D.’s core: love persists through chaos. Season 12 hints at their wedding, with Squerciati teasing “big moments” in a 2024 TVLine interview. New viewers can dive into this saga on Peacock, where every Burzek glance feels like a promise. From Season 7’s pregnancy shock to their Season 12 engagement, Burzek proves why Chicago P.D. is unmissable. Join the fanpage to cheer for Chicago’s favorite couple and catch every twist!
