Chicago P.D. has never shied away from exploring the darker sides of its characters’ personal lives, and Season 13 is continuing that tradition — this time with Dante Torres (Benjamin Levy Aguilar) stepping into a complicated new romance that already has fans divided.
After a season filled with emotional turmoil, Torres is finally opening up to someone new. Viewers were introduced to his latest love interest in the Season 13 premiere, and while their chemistry was undeniable, there’s something about her that feels just a little too mysterious. Chicago P.D. rarely introduces new characters without a twist, and fans are already wondering: is she the light Torres desperately needs, or another storm waiting to happen?
The young officer has been battling internal demons since joining Intelligence. Between his loyalty to Voight’s team and his haunted past in Chicago’s rough neighborhoods, Torres often walks a fine line between justice and vengeance. His new partner in romance could either be the person who grounds him — or the one who tempts him to cross that line once again.
Executive producers have hinted that Torres’ storyline this season will explore “the price of vulnerability.” After years of keeping people at arm’s length, he’s finally allowing himself to feel something beyond the job. But in the gritty world of Chicago P.D., love stories rarely come without consequences. His new flame’s connection to a criminal case may force Torres to make an impossible choice between his badge and his heart.
Fans on social media have been quick to react to the budding relationship. Some are thrilled to see Torres finally find happiness after seasons of brooding solitude, while others are wary — recalling how past romances in the One Chicago universe often ended in heartbreak or betrayal. The question everyone’s asking: will this new woman heal him, or destroy him?
Benjamin Levy Aguilar’s portrayal of Torres remains one of the show’s most compelling performances, balancing intensity with vulnerability. This season’s arc promises to peel back even more layers of the enigmatic officer, offering a deeper look at what drives him — and what could break him.
As Chicago P.D. Season 13 continues, it’s clear that love in Intelligence never comes easy. Whether this new romance leads Torres toward redemption or ruin, one thing’s certain: viewers will be watching every tense, passionate, and dangerous moment unfold.
