Chicago PD – Long Lost

None of the characters on Chicago PD can appear to catch a break lately, however that appears to be the theme this season, (each season truthfully). This episode feels just a little totally different although, feels extra private than we’ve seen shortly, particularly for Kevin Atwater. 

Family is difficult, generally much more so in the case of one’s mother and father and we see that early on on this hour when Kevin comes face-to-face along with his father after twenty years of not having a relationship with him. It’s whole happenstance, utterly sudden and it knocks him down a bit, reminds him of a painful previous the place there are too many questions which have gone unanswered for too lengthy. The realization of that, of the lingering estrangement along with his father and simply what it means is a heavy tablet for him to swallow.

He’s harm and confused and rightfully so, however he doesn’t need to be offended even when it’s apparent that he’s. No one can blame him although. He was pressured to develop up too quick, misplaced his mom younger, and his father too. He needed to tackle the accountability of elevating his siblings and turn out to be a person they might look as much as whereas the person he appeared as much as and wanted most was gone and in jail. But what a person Kevin has turn out to be. That regardless of all of the hardships, of being down and out and having to make too many robust selections, he’s somebody who continues to face tall and present compassion for somebody that perhaps isn’t so deserving of it. 

I feel this episode was a fantastic testomony to Kevin’s character, to why we root for the characters and sophisticated private relationships on this present. His means to point out such compassion and resilience by not solely doing the best factor and confronting his father when the job wants him to, however by additionally extending an olive department to him ultimately on a private stage. 

Kevin makes it clear to his father that he doesn’t deserve the kindness he exhibits him or the good thing about the doubt that we so usually see him show, however he does it anyway. He does it anyway. Because that’s simply who Kevin Atwater is and it’s who he’ll all the time be, and it’s one of many many the explanation why we love him a lot. 

Chicago PD airs on Wednesdays on NBC. New episodes return February fifteenth.
