What’s happening in this week’s episode of Chicago PD? Find out about Pain Killer with the Chicago PD season 6, episode 17 synopsis and teaser.

Someone’s going to get shot in the next Chicago PD, according to NBC‘s official description of Wednesday’s episode and the promo that they’ve released for it.

Wednesday’s installment, entitled “Pain Killer,” puts a character in the line of fire. Naturally, the Intelligence Unit then has to find out who pulled the trigger and bring them to justice before they can hurt anyone else. But this isn’t just the usual character in peril kind of story; it also will have ramifications on the season’s ongoing storyline about the mayoral election.

Audiences have watched the political plot develop ever since the Chicago PD season premiere, but it’s been a relatively slow burn as the team uncovers bits and pieces of what’s going on with those involved. Is this the episode where it finally blows over and there’s a confrontation? Will it finally answer everyone’s questions? At least, it certainly looks like that will be the case.

And that’s before we address whether or not the show is about to kill someone off. This is one that every One Chicago fan should see.

"A mayoral candidate is shot by an unidentified sniper, and CPD races to catch the shooter before he can take out his next target."

And here’s the promotional video that’s been airing in advance of the episode (which might be considered spoilery if you don’t want to know exactly who’s in trouble):
