Since Chicago P.D. debuted in 2014, the drama has been offering gripping stories, centered on a group of officers and detectives working in the 21st District of the Chicago Police Department.
The show highlights two key sides of law enforcement: The uniformed officers who patrol the streets and respond to day-to-day crimes, and the specialized Intelligence Unit that handles larger, more dangerous operations involving organized crime and major criminal threats.
However, the show is not just about shootouts and arrests but also personal stories of the main characters. They have to deal with a demanding job while handling other issues, which affect the officers emotionally and morally.

What happened in Chicago Season 12 Episode 19: A quick recap
In Chicago P.D. Season 12 Episode 19, Name Image Likeness, Officer Kiana Cook solves her first case that involves a confidential informant during the investigation of a robbery-homicide. She and Torres go to the site of a horrific double homicide at a jewelry store, where they intervene to stop a running man — who is actually a witness, not a suspect.
Briefly, the team links the crime to Amir Jackson, a star college basketball player with a sullied history, including prior criminal activity. The case goes deeper when the team learns that Ruby Rios, a stripper and convicted criminal, was the getaway car driver. Although she denies her involvement at first, Ruby eventually consents to become a Confidential Informant (CI) for Cook.
Things, however, take a turn when Ruby turns on her, attempting to protect another basketball player, Damone Russell, whose stature and connections make him difficult to prosecute. Nevertheless, Cook and the team are able to recover crucial evidence that connects Damone to the murder, and he is arrested together with Ruby.
Aside from the probe, the Chicago P.D. episode also depicts Cook's inner conflicts. She struggles with the emotional aftermath of betrayal by her first informant but also tries to rebuild a distant relationship with her mother, indicating growth on both her personal and professional fronts. She learns hard lessons about trust and intuition in the police force.
Now Cook is stronger, having gained the respect of her peers, particularly Voight, who acknowledges her work even after experiencing the speed bumps along the way. Her burgeoning rapport with Torres and the rest of the Intelligence Unit signals the early stages of trust and friendship, paving the way for her to become an integral member of the unit in the future.
