Chicago PD season 6, episode 1 synopsis and promo: New Normal

Chicago PD’s season premiere changes the rules. Find out what’s happening this week in the Chicago PD season 6, episode 1 synopsis and teaser.

This week’s Chicago PD season premiere will change the rules for the Intelligence Unit, according to NBC‘s official description of the episode and the promo they’ve released.

Wednesday’s episode is entitled “New Normal,” and picks up not long after last season’s finale left off—including repercussions from the death of Alvin Olinsky (Elias Koteas) and the shooting of his killer.

Almost immediately, Hank Voight (Jason Beghe) finds himself in the crosshairs of his bosses at the Chicago Police Department. And unlike all the times before, this boss is one of the highest ranking officers. She’s the Deputy Superintendent, and she’s got a few choice words for Voight.

Meanwhile, the Intelligence team have to process the idea of life without their friend, and there’s a case of the week that still has to be closed as well. Those two things don’t exactly mix, but crime doesn’t stop in Chicago even for the death of a friend. Will they be able to close a case, deal with their emotional fallout, and handle the next white shirt in their way?

However, Olinsky’s passing will be addressed in this episode, as evidenced by the promotional photos NBC has released for the season premiere that you can see here.
