The One Chicago crossover delivered its usual dose of high-stakes drama, but it also left fans with one lingering question: What’s next for Hank Voight and Reid? According to Chicago P.D. showrunners, Voight’s confrontation with the latest big bad is far from over—and a major takedown is on the horizon.
With the crossover storyline setting up deep-rooted tension between Voight and Reid, the upcoming episodes promise an explosive resolution. But how far is Voight willing to go? And will this battle push him past the line he has fought so hard to balance?
Voight vs. Reid: A Feud Years in the Making
The crossover introduced Reid, a high-ranking crime figure with connections deep within Chicago’s underworld, as a key antagonist. Unlike past villains, Reid isn’t just another street-level criminal—he’s a calculated manipulator with influence in law enforcement, making him a particularly dangerous adversary for the Intelligence Unit.
During the crossover, Voight and his team uncovered Reid’s involvement in an elaborate corruption ring, but his ability to slip through legal loopholes left Voight frustrated. While other departments may have been forced to move on, Voight doesn’t let things slide that easily.
Showrunner Gwen Sigan hinted that the real battle between Voight and Reid is just beginning.
“The crossover was only the start of this dynamic. Voight doesn’t take betrayal lightly, and when someone like Reid threatens his city, he makes it personal.”
How Far Will Voight Go?
We all know that Voight isn’t afraid to play by his own rules. His methods—though often effective—constantly toe the line between justice and vengeance. And with Reid proving to be a formidable opponent, Chicago P.D. is setting up what could be one of Voight’s most personal showdowns yet.
- Will Voight go full force in his pursuit of Reid, no matter the consequences?
- Will Intelligence be forced to intervene if Voight’s tactics become too extreme?
- Could this battle cost Voight his badge—or worse, his life?
Executive producers have teased that Voight’s pursuit of Reid will test his leadership and put his relationships with his team in jeopardy. Ruzek, Burgess, and Atwater have all seen Voight at his most ruthless, but will they be able to stop him if his actions threaten to destroy Intelligence?
A Takedown Unlike Any Other
Voight has taken down plenty of criminals in the past, but Chicago P.D. showrunners are teasing something different this time. Unlike past villains who could be eliminated with a single takedown, Reid’s influence extends beyond the streets, and Voight’s typical intimidation tactics might not be enough.
Instead, sources hint that the battle between Voight and Reid will unfold over multiple episodes, leading to an unexpected climax. Will Voight be forced to outthink his enemy instead of outmuscling him? Or will this be the case that forces Voight to rely on his team in ways he never has before?
What This Means for Chicago P.D. Moving Forward
Regardless of how it plays out, Voight’s upcoming clash with Reid is bound to have lasting consequences for Intelligence. If Voight succeeds, will he finally begin to trust in the system? Or will another morally complex victory only push him further into the gray areas of justice?
With Chicago P.D. continuing to explore the evolution of its characters, one thing is certain: Voight’s war with Reid is far from over—and fans should buckle up for an unforgettable ride.
