Chicago P.D. new episode: Is it finally promotion time?

The new episode of Chicago P.D. arrives on Wednesday, November 6. The One Chicago shows took a week off but will return with a flurry of dramatic episodes.

Chicago P.D. Officer Kiana Cook made a bold entrance on the show. Played by actress Toya Turner, the character first dropped in to help Officer Adam Ruzek take down a cop killer.

Cook appeared again on the latest episode, partnering up with Officer Dante Torres to help solve a case plagued by rain.

That episode ended with Torres inviting Cook to join the Intelligence team. He revealed that Hank Voight had already approved it if she wanted the spot.

Intelligence has an opening (again) after Detective Emily Martel died on the Season 12 premiere. Martel was played by Victoria Cartagena, but she didn’t survive her first night.

Martel replaced Detective Hailey Upton, who left Chicago at the end of Season 11. Cook now takes Martel’s spot, but the team needs someone to get promoted to detective.
