Trudy Platt and Alvin Olinsky

Trudy Platt (Amy Morton) and Alvin Olinsky (Elias Koteas) have the longest histories with Voight and so they know more about him than anyone else. But both of them are also very similar to him in the way they think—they don’t mind going outside the lines to get a job done.

Platt would be the least likely Chicago PD character to say anything about Voight; no one could make her say anything she didn’t want to, and anyone who tried would likely be scared by her in the process.

Woods and company probably couldn’t lean on her as hard as other characters either, considering Platt was a very high-profile survivor of the serial bomber in Chicago PD‘s 100th episode. It’s not a good look to go after someone who’s been in the public eye almost getting blown up and trying to save other people’s lives afterward.

Plus, if push came to shove, with all her years in the Chicago Police Department, Platt could likely say “screw it” and retire instead of turning on her old friend—more time for her to spend with her husband Mouch (Christian Stolte) and keep him in shape!

Olinsky, however, is a different story. There’s no doubt that hiding a body for your best friend is definitely loyalty. But Chicago PD‘s episode “Breaking Point” wants the audience to think that Al could find his limit with Voight.

And frankly, Olinsky’s kind of at the end of his rope. He lost his daughter last season, he doesn’t have much of a life outside of the team (that we know of), and now he’s going to take the fall for Voight and potentially spend his life behind bars if he’s convicted? Olinsky has held the line so far, but if he eventually decides he’d rather not go on trial for murder we wouldn’t blame him either. When does he start looking out for himself?
