The Intelligence Unit is facing new challenges this season on Chicago P.D., and one of the most intriguing developments involves the arrival of Upton’s (Tracy Spiridakos) replacement.
The new recruit, Detective Mia Carter, has already made waves within the team—and her latest move may shake the very foundation of Voight’s leadership. In a surprising twist, Carter’s investigation into a current case has resurrected a murder tied to Voight (Jason Beghe) from four years ago. Long-time fans will remember the incident as one of Voight’s darkest moments, where he bent the rules to deliver his own version of justice. While the case was covered up at the time, Carter’s discovery brings it back into the spotlight, threatening not only Voight’s career but also the integrity of the Intelligence Unit.
Detective Carter, played by rising star Naomi Bennett, brings a fresh perspective to the team. Her relentless pursuit of justice and sharp instincts make her a force to be reckoned with, but her uncompromising nature clashes with Voight’s more morally flexible approach. As she digs deeper into the old case, tensions rise, and the team is forced to confront their own complicity in Voight’s methods.
This storyline highlights one of the central themes of Chicago P.D.—the constant push-and-pull between justice and ethics. As the season unfolds, fans can expect to see Voight grappling with the fallout of his past actions while trying to maintain control of his team. Meanwhile, Carter’s presence adds a new layer of complexity, forcing everyone to reevaluate their loyalties.
The revival of Voight’s four-year-old murder case is shaping up to be one of the most compelling arcs of Season 12. Will the team rally to protect their leader, or will Carter’s determination bring Voight’s empire crashing down? Tune in to Chicago P.D. Wednesdays on NBC to find out how this explosive storyline unfolds.
